Good enough for a 5-year-old

I recently saw a project on Pinterest that I really wanted to try.  The only problem is that it required sewing.  My sewing skills are not the greatest.  In fact, they are close to being non-existant.  I decided I would give it a try, however.  So, I dusted off my sewing machine and set to work making a quiet art book for Adam to take to church.

The instructions can be found at: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2011/07/quiet-art-packet-tutorial-you-asked.html.  Here is my finished product:

Impressed?  Well, don't look too closely.  It is good enough for a 5-year-old, but I didn't want to embarrass myself by taking a close-up.  :)  I'm thinking about making one for Miss Sadie, though, before I put the sewing machine away.  Maybe I would do a better job the second try.

Looks like it will be a few weeks before Adam will be able to try out his art book.  I have a head cold and don't want to fight the kids at Stake Conference today, and next Sunday we don't have regular meetings due to the Brigham City Temple dedication.
