Quiet Book No. 2

Good Morning All

This is Quiet Book number 2 and this is for Noah and / or Aurora (when she is abit older).

Lots of pics coming up, some of the quality is not great so forgive me.

I decided to sew the pages in, instead of using rings and grommets.

And I sewed handles on, which I have since added to Hollies too.

This is the 'matching shapes' page.

 Numbers and counting page with the correct count of buttons under each flap.

Get the socks out of the washing machine and match them to the correct colour on opposite page.

Farm Barn with finger puppets.

Counting the beads across the strings.

Matching colours and learning to fasten buttons.

Opening the zipper on the Ladybug, counting and ladybugs and shapes inside. 

Alphabet.

Inside the pocket I put alphabet cards for each letter to teach reading, letters etc.

I really like this page.

Hope you like it and I,m sure the kids will.

Now onto the next one LOL.  

I really do enjoy making these.  

I will let you know how they enjoy them.  

Hollie will get hers first when she visits in September.

A couple more pages from my Quiet Book.  HERE  and HERE.

This one is , obviously 'weaving',
I sewed buttons on the ends of each piece just for abit of extra interest.

Could teach colours too.

This is a farm Barn, needs abit more embellishments, maybe a fence or buttons.

Finger puppets inside the doors.  I think I need some practice on these though.

Obviously this one is the Alphabet, just lift each one up to reveal, in full, the next letter.

More pages to come.

Sshhhh Quiet

Good Morning All

Boy, was it hot yesterday.
We walked to the next village to have Sunday lunch, which was yummy, and we were melting when we got back. It is meant to be staying the same this week, even the wind is hot.

I was been beavering away last week on a Quiet Book.  I had never heard of these until afew months ago when Megan asked me if it would be possible to make one for Noah.  I researched them and some sell for quite alot of money, probably because they are so  time consuming to make.

When I was in UK in  May, my sister had started making one for Noah and when I saw it I was blown away, so lovely and such fun.  

So when I got back to Spain in May, I decided I was going to have a go.  

My old sewing machine had to go, tension was rubbish on it. So I researched a new one and managed to find one on EBay and have it posted here, great.

This is the front which I have yet to decorate, I am going to stick letters on,
either
BUSY BOOK or QUIET BOOK

This was the best way I could think to fasten it.  Also , with this it can expand if I decide to add more pages.

It is mostly sewed with felt  and far from perfect but I am so pleased with it.

These two are the first pages I made.  Counting from 1 to 20, the beads slide across the ribbon or string.
This is a good way of using beads that I maybe wouldn't use for much else.

As I have made pages I realise I should have done some things abit differently, but we all learn from our mistakes.

Teaching to tie shoe laces.

Matching colours and fastening buttons.






I will show a couple more pages another day, dont want to have a post so full of pics you get bored !!!!

 I would imagine Hollie will be playing with it when she visits in September.  If she really enjoys it I will let her take it home,  if they can carry it.

I am now making another one, either for Noah or Aurora, which I will take to UK in December on my Christmas visit.

There are so many different pages you can make, loads of ideas on Pinterest and You Tube, I just wanted to keep going with more pages.

This is keeping me busy as I have that many cards in my boxes upstairs, as the craft fair I did afew weeks ago was rubbish, I think I sold about 10 cards!!!!
