Finished Tic Tac Toe

I completely forgot to post a picture of this. I finished up the tic tac toe board. It’s from the Japanese craft book, ISBN 452903559X. I used invisible thread to sew up the pieces and ummm NEVER AGAIN. I couldn’t see what in the world I was sewing. I thought oh that’s a great idea so I don’t have to use different colored thread. Yeah…bad idea.
Here’s a close up picture of the pieces. And you can see Isabelle’s hand in the picture again. She couldn’t keep her little hands off. Do you know how hard it is to get a picture with her grabbing? ![]()

Oh and the final picture. We were at a restaurant the other month and they gave Isabelle one of those activity papers (even though she is too young). It had tic tac toe on it. Me and Alan were playing while waiting for our dinner so when I was making this I had that in mind. The directions in the book were only for the board and the game pieces so I added the backing and button loop so we could bundle it up and take it with us.

Update: Hey Kayte, I got it from Amazon Japan. The isbn is 452903559X. I did a search on Yesasia. There is no picture but it is the same isbn so it should be the same book.

How very clever! Look — we all used that word “clever”. That’s proof! I love the button and the fabric and the pieces and Isabelle’s hand grabbing at the pieces and holding the cookie…

Cute! You are so smart to make it portable.
Now that I think about it, invisible thread would have seemed like a good idea to me, too.

Hi there. I stumbled across you blog as I have been looking for the book you used to the tic tac toe board in the US. Can you tell me where you got it?
