This one was for my little girl when she was very young, she recently wanted to cut it open to have all the teeny things for her doll house.

I gave it to her with the following poem:

In this eye spy bag you will find
A pink shoe, an orange ball, a purple baby bottle and that’s not all
A butterfly that’s orange and black
A turtle with a tangerine coloured shell on it’s back
From the sky, a purple star
A pair of brown glasses to help you see far
A fish that’s pink and green
The sweetest ballerina you’ve ever seen
A big red heart, a lemon that’s tart
A small orange heart too
And half a watermelon just for you!
Sure hope you had fun. If you’ve found every one, you are all done!

Great job!

I bought one years ago at a craft fair and now want to make one for my oldest grand daughter as part of a quiet book I’m hoping to make this year.

What did you use for the window area?

Clear plastic from the hardware store. I have part of a roll & would be happy to sent you some if you like. I have literally had it for years! I’ll let you know the best ways to sew it as well, it sticks to the machine & presser foot but there are techniques to make it easier.

A lady I know buys it from Joanns. But it seems like a marketing ploy to me, and the same thing can be found in any of the Big Box stores.

I love the poem the most. You’re so extra in the best way possible!

Ya, the hardware store has it by the foot in different thicknesses. I get double sided carpet tape there too, the stuff in the craft store is about 1000xs the price, lol.
