The Cute Book

 I have The Cute Book, it's super cute!!!

I bought it many years ago at Japan Town in San Francisco.


I have two adorable grand daughters who are even cuter than the book.  Izzy is 8 and Kylie is 10.


Izzy made a little bear with its own little teddy bear to play with. She also drew some artwork for the wall!



Kylie wanted to make a little monkey :)


Kylie made the monkey in his bed for Sabrina for her 2nd birthday which is at the end of August. Sabrina is her cousin.

Hopefully I can show you some of the other things I've been working 
on lately!


Have a great week!

The Cute Book

I looked after my four oldest grandchildren for about 8 days, while their parents went to Spain with some friends :)
I cherished the time I was able to spend with them!
This is Kennedy, she's 10 years old, in 5th grade.
I was able to go to school and see her at her science fair, and go to her Valentine's party too!


This is Charlotte, she's 7 and is in the 2nd grade.
I went to Charlotte's Valentine party at school also :)


This is Bridger, he's 12 and in the 7th grade at middle school.
I went to parent/teacher conference with him.
His teachers sang high praises of him the whole time!


Why are these kids concentrating so hard?
The "Cute" book!!!


They loved the Cute book!
I taught them all my magic way of knotting a thread.
Bridger made the "kidnapper".  His job is to steal kids.
(That's what it says in the book, lol!)


Bridger made the Kidnapper, Lorenzo the lizard, and the Sprite.
He did all the sewing himself, I just did the embroidered faces :)
He takes a sewing class at school.


Kennedy made a bear and a bunny.
She kept disappearing, because she couldn't keep away from the little magnetic paper doll set that I brought!
She loves paper dolls more than anything!!!



Charlotte made 5 little cuties!




Pinkie, bird and bunny.
She did a lot of stitching herself :)



She stitched the monkey entirely by herself, I think she did a great job!!!


Charlotte couldn't stop laughing, because the instructions said to glue the panda's tail to it's "butt", lol.


Lucy made the bear and the liar.
Well, maybe I made them :)


This photo shows how small the little animals are.


The children has a wonderful time choosing the colors of felt for each little animal.


Lucy is 4, and she loved these little animals.


She wanted to make the liar, the kidnapper and the bad guy!
The Kidnapper was really hard to make, so she had to settle for the bear :)


Lucy is getting into character :)






Part of the fun was decorating altoid tins for their little homes, and sewing a pillow to put under their heads.


A fun time was had by all, our dining room table was a mess for a few days.
Making these animals was so much fun and helped the children keep their minds from missing their parents.
Their next project might be a bag or a mini quilt :)

Teeny Weeny Bunnies

I've wanted to sew some cute little animals to fit into Altoid tins for a long time.
First I had to buy the Altoid tins.
I shop at a great site in China, called aliexpress.
I searched for hinged altoid tins, and found some for 75 cents.
I decorated them with scrapbook paper, lace, ribbons and buttons.


Inside each one is a treasure!
A teeny weeny bunny named Betsy, all snuggled up in her blanket.
I glued scrapbook paper to the lid, using a tacky glue.


Betsy just woke up, and she's ready to play!




Inside this little house is Bailey.


Bailey just had a long nap and is ready to run around!


All that running around made Bailey tired again...




I found the patterns for Betsy and Bailey in this little "Cute Book".
It really is cute!
