I had a remedial craft moment on Friday.

Let me share.

I have been making quiet books for the kids for years now. It's one of those projects that hasn't really happened. It's getting ridiculous now because the boys are getting so old. Oh well.

So-I had a slight malfunction with the sewing machine. I thought it looked alright on this side of the fabric- I was willing to live with the odd zigging and zagging.


And then I turned it over to the other side-

And started unpicking. I ended up sewing it and unpicking it 3 times. I was not a happy girl.

I don't think I will do a craft tutorial yet because my craft projects go something like this-

Start project.
Mess it up.
Throw it across the room.
Fix what I messed up.
Finish project.

And really- I usually repeat the throwing and the fixing a few times. It's really inspiring.

So anyway- here is a link to a real Martha. Check out her quiet book pages here, here, here, here, here and here. Are you amazed as I am that she hand sewed all of those? Yowza. It's a really fun blog to look at.

Here's to more remedial crafts this week!
