My Matty’s new felt book.

All handmade by moi. I am proud, can you tell? This project took me many months. Lots of projects have come and gone here and there and in between, but finally, finally, I completed it this past Saturday.
When I first came across craftgrrl, this post about a handmade book was one of my very first interests. I knew I wanted to do something like this for Matt. It’s all made with craft felt, DMC thread, a few beads, and cardboard for the inside of the pages.
The cover is my favorite part as it stars much of our Little Face, with his sneakers, our most valued sweatshirt, and of course, Green Bear!

And now, onto the pics.

That is one of the neatest things I have seen. You are very talented… makes it even more special coming from love and not the store. So cool.
