Pages that are still being created.....

These pages are ones I am working on, but still haven't figured out how exactly to complete them. I'll update this when I do.

Doctor Doll

Mr.  Anatomy man

I started this doll so my kids could put bandaids and such on the guy to help him feel better. Well, it took off from there. I thought of the organs, then I found a blog that helped me to make the organs doll like (her doll was much bigger though). I have yet to figure out what kind of a face to put on him, how to make it into a page now

My Family's Preach My Gospel Quiet Book Swap

After I had started to make many of my ideas I came to a realization, for the amount of pages I had planned, it was going to take more of my life away than I really wanted. I hadn't even dented the preach my gospel theme.  The only thing to do was to call in the help of my family. I had topics I wanted make pages about, but like other pages I did, I didn't know exactly what I wanted, and that's the part that takes me a long time.

Luckily I have five wonderful family members that have creativity (and kindness toward me), so I got them to on board the insanity train.
If you are wondering what these pages are all about on an adult level, you can read more of the basics on mormon.org, or for the actual Preach My Gospel manual and lesson booklets, you can find it on this lds.org link.

The pages we decided to do were:

Lesson 1, Word of Wisdom, washing machine

These were the ones I decided to do. I was going to do the Healthy Eating/Word of Wisdom page, Lesson 1 (still in the works), and the washing machine (I gave most of them the kitchen one, cut out, for them to sew themselves. I am that nice like that, i got tired). 

Family/ Temples, Prayer

My mom did temples and family history, and they prayer. I was impressed with her end results. I would have not taken on the five generations, but my mom wanted her grand kids to know her grandparents names.I was  the ones printing the pages onto the fabric for her, and there was a miscommunication. She said later she wished the temple page was on white (woops, my fault). For the prayer page my mom wanted to do something with a glove, (she almost didn't that's why the girl is there, then at last she changed her mind) my kids love to fit their hand in the little glove. After helping her cutting out and printing her pages I was glad I didn't have to come up with the idea, and sew them.

Law of Chastity, Sleep/Schedule
For the Law of Chastity my sister and I tried to think of an idea that would be childlike,  so we took the "be clean" literally and made a bathtub. The schedule idea I came up with was a bit daunting, so my sister simplified with a clock... much better idea. For my sisters house pages, we used little magnetic dolls that came with clothes, for the people (my mom found these for our kids one Christmas). With the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and bedroom, we pretty much made the basics of a doll house quiet book (who needs a living room, right?).

pages in the works:

Lesson 3, Iron Rod

Ten Commandments, Keep the Sabbath Day Holy

Lesson 4, Tithing

Noah's Ark, the discovery of printing on pellon

Well, this page was created as an experiment. I found this image on the LDS website somehow and it was colored and everything. I decided it couldn't hurt anything to try to print it directly onto fusible pellon. (don't try it in a laser printer, just believe me, I may or may not have tried it, and gummed up a hot roller with fusible material- I am gun shy to try non-fusible pellon) I cut the pellon to the same size as a paper and sent it through. It worked marvelously. I then ironed on the ark to a piece of leather (pelltec or any other thick material would work) and sewed the ark to the page. The animals that were in front of the ark just stayed there because I couldn't cut them without comprimising the ark. The other animals I ironed onto a fleece fabric I had (like those tie blankets are made out of) and then cut them out. By far the easiest page I made, and I think it serves it's purpose great!

Jonah and the Whale, Fishers of Men

I have seen quite a few of these pages that are done way cute. I added scriptures from Jonah on the top of the page by printing on pellon and ironing them on. I did think the shimmery remnant fabric gave it a fun flare. There is also a finger puppet of Jonah and some fish to go in his mouth.

I wanted to use the Fishers of Men scriptures in Matthew as the base of a fishing page. The logistics of this page were not clicking with this page until I found some good instructions for a pole and the fish at this cute quiet book post.  I didn't know which fish his apostles fished for, so I just found some native to my state, and some from Alaska. My nieces and nephews thought this was a fun enough concept to spend a whole afternoon trying to catch them with a long pole and magnets from the fridge. 

Color Wheel, Coloring Pocket, Oragami

I initially wanted to do a color wheel with shapes, but I decided I would print this one with my parents inkjet printer. It was a quick way to do a color wheel page, and the pocket is to hold art stuffs.

The dark pocket page is to hold origami paper and instruction pages. This page was pretty darn simple, yet one of the most used. I just searched for simple origami instructions and printed out the ones that looked on our level. 

The last page is a crayon holder and a pocket I had ABC stamps, and a separate stamp pad I found at Walmart for a dollar each.

Bedroom,,,

I was trying to think of how to use the washer page and make it useful. Well, what better than to make dolls that have clothes that need washing. I had printed these dolls years ago, (with a CD that came with a long gone ink jet printer) as an experiment, and pasted them to a leather piece. When I thought of this page I peeled them off, ironed them on pelltec pellon, and of course added appropriate hair. I cut out the dresser as a pocket for clothes and ironed on the drawers and handles with wonder under.

This was a cute page my sister made for our quiet book swap. It has a cute clock, with movable hands, a bed, and a night stand that has a slight pocket for the top so you can add a book to read (ours is currently missing. I should have taken the advice of my sister and sewed a ribbon to it. She obviously has made a quiet book before). She also had a pocket to go with it for clothes but she gave it to me as an afterthought, and I haven't put it on yet. 

The Bathroom....

These were actually from my sister for our family quiet book swap, but I thought since I helped make the pattern and cut them out (and I sewed these since she had a week old baby). The idea originated from the dollhouse quiet book I mentioned on the kitchen page post, but we changed it to fit our needs. We made the tub so it could fit the dolls we had standing up, that way we could make it all on one page. (I guess I could add a shower head somehow... nah). My sister made a cute soap, brush, toothbrush and toothpaste to go into the cupboard pocket. My kids love those pieces the best (and of coarse making flushing sounds in the most inopportune times).
