Exclusive to book signings

Where did the busy books go...?

I've taken my busy books out of my website shop until after my run of Christmas craft fairs. This is to avoid the risk of one being ordered from the website that I've sold at a fair.

Because they are unique, I can't just get another one out of a stockroom. So for the time being they will be exclusive to my book signing events.

Fighting technology one day at a time...

It seems that making  a busy book is easier than getting photos onto the laptop. 

I've managed to get this one here via instagram... it seems my phone is quite happy to talk to instagram, but it's not talking to my laptop, who know why... maybe I need to shut them in a room together and hope they can sort out their differences...  

 

Luckily my sewing machine has been behaving better than my phone and laptop, so this little festive collection is now neatly bound into a Christmas busy book, ready to go to a fair at York's Guildhall on Saturday.

Messing around with trucks...

 

  What's behind the shed door, with the chunky button door handle?  

 Drive along the road, and into the tunnel... or is it a cave?

Looking for a unique Christmas gift....?

The Christmas fair season may be over, or at least for me - but my books are all still available from my website.

And... I still have a couple of my Quiet / Busy books left. These unique cloth books were very popular at my fairs this season, and it seems it's not just the babies who like to stroke and feel at textures, people of all ages loved these books.
This one is available from my Etsy shop:

Lost in a Book gets festive - because babies need books too

Getting festive: Christmas Quiet / Busy book

 The new festive busy book has a Christmas tree on the cover.

 ...and a furry Rudolf with a shiny button red nose.

 There's a snowman and a Christmas stocking - bursting with glossy ribbons...

 A Christmas pudding that's a flap - hiding a secret...

 All bound up in a soft book by Lost in a Book. Because babies need books too.

Quiet / Busy Book - Trucks and Denim

Trucks and Denim

It's the ultimate upcycling - denim, cut from an old pair of jeans, beautifully softened, then padded for a cover of a quiet / busy book...

 There's a pocket on the front cover to store the trucks, but don't worry they won't get lost - they're attached by colourful cords.

 Are these pockets for trucks? Or are they tunnels, or a terraced road along a mountainside... let the imagination do the rest...

 Drive the trucks between the trees, along the mud road.

 Drive them into the tunnel... or truck shed... whatever you want it to be... make up your own story with your baby.

 But what's this... a flap, a shed...?

 Use the chunky button to lift the flap and find out...

Christmas Quiet / Busy Book

Getting festive: Christmas Quiet / Busy book, one only available in my Bookshop

 I made an xmas pudding - but not the sort you can eat. The pudding is a flap with a secret underneath...

 Lift the flap and find a mouse, with a cord for a tail.

 Meet Rudolf, with his shiny red button nose...

 Lots of textures here, with a felt snowman, Christmas tree - and ribbons - who can resist the feel of satin ribbon...?

 You can tie the ribbon in a bow... if you want to...

 Colour and pattern contrast. Christmas stocking and a pocket.
