Lienke's Quiet Book

Hi everyone!

As promised, I am translating a few of my older posts for you  シ

I am starting with my very first post.

Lienke's Quiet Book

I had so much fun making this book for friends of our's niece ♡

And from what I heard, she thoroughly loves it as well.

I hope that she will enjoy it for many years to come.

 The first page is the CAT-page シ

I found my inspiration for this page on tanyahandmade.blogspot.com 

 The snow white kitty has a snug bed and bowls of food and water of course.

  The curtain can be tied back (ideal to perfect fine motor skills of little hands).

You can even see a shooting star through the window-

the star can be moved by tugging on the ribbon on either side ☆

And there is a cheeky little mouse that scampers across the floor to tease our kitty.

The second page is our DOG-page.

I got the idea for this page from Lindy J Designs' A Home For Max quiet book. 

She has some pretty cute patterns!!

This friendly pup has a cute little doghouse where he hides his ball

and a food and water bowl.

 

 He buried his bone behind a bush in the garden.

And a row of rainbow coloured flowers line the fence.

 

 Luckily he has a nice warm house to stay in when it starts to rain ♡

 

Next we have our COUNTING-page with a friendly snail.

I just LOOOVE the fabric on this page!

I also got the idea for this page at Tanya Handmade

  

 

There is a counter with 5 wooden beads. 

 

And I was so excited to make this page!

There is a bead underneath the fabric and you can move it around the spiral of the snail's shell.

How awesome is that?!? :D

It is very therapeutic. 

 At the top of the page I put the numbers 1-5 with beads in matching colours and numbers next to each.

 

 

Last we have the HOME-page

There is a tall gate in front of the house that laces up with a shoelace

(I bought the pink laces after taking the photos for this post)

I got the idea for this page at Handmade by Mom  

  

This is also the shape page.

   

The roof (triangle), sun(circle), door(rectangle) and window(square) can be stuck on with valcro.

 There is a little bird in her nest. She is attached with a ribbon, to keep her from flying away ;)

 It took me a long time to decide what to put behind the flower bush in the garden, and I am very pleased with this adorable little bunny!

 

That is it for today folks

 

Hope you enjoyed it!!

 

Best Wishes

English Posts

Hallo all!!

I have very exciting news for my English readers!

Since I am trying to expand my blog a bit, I've decided that, from now on, I am also writing my posts in English.  I know that the translation button is available on my blog, but lets face it, it doesn't really take the word order thing very seriously.  And that can get a bit confusing!

English is also the most universal language (that I'm able to speak anyway) and it will hopefully help me to gain a few readers and even followers.

*hint*hint*

please follow me by clicking on the button on the right ➡

Over the next few weeks, I will be going back over my archives and translating some old posts シ

Now...

I'd very much like to have your opinion on this.

Would you like to see new English posts posted separately the next day?

Or at the bottom of my Afrikaans posts, to keep everything together?

Please leave a comment below to let me know your preferences.

Also, plz follow me on Bloglovin'

It is such a nice way to keep up with all your favorite blogs.

If you've never heard of Bloglovin', then I have this helpful post to tell you all about it!

Hope to see you back here soon!

Afwesigheid Rapport ;)

*Hierdie post bevat affiliated links

 
Hallo blog-vriende!!

Hoe gaan dit met julle?

Vandag wil ek vir julle wys en vertel waarmee ek besig was in my afwesigheid...

dis goeie verskonings, ek belowe シ

PLAAS KASKENADES

Eers was ons plaas toe.

Soos julle weet is daar weinig sein en ek verkies om my tyd buite en op ander plaas dinge te spandeer, eerder as om 'n tegno-slaaf te wees.

Ek het darem vir julle 'n paar foto's geneem ♡

Onthou die sonskerm!!  Dis beslis 'n goeie idee om altyd sonskerm aan te smeer voor jy buite gaan baljaar en op die plaas is mens meeste van die tyd buite. Ek het 'n baie sensetiewe en allergiese vel en hierdie is my gunstelling sonskerm reeks.  Dit is al wat ek op hierdie stadium kan gebruik:
Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 50 Sensitive*

 Kyk hoe belowend lyk die wolke, maar ons bid nog vir die reёn.

Ek wil sommer vir julle vra om daar waar jy nou by jou rekenaar sit asb vir ons boere te bid en vir die Here te vra om ons te seёn met reёn vir die veld, die diere en gewasse ♡

 Die lente is tog oral te bespeur ❀

 

My "pet"-projek op die plaas is 'n Angus vers.

Haar naam is Snifsnaf :) 

 Ek het besluit om haar te leer, sodat ek haar sal kan melk nadat sy gekalf het :D

 Hierdie is die tweede maal dat ek die halter op haar gesit het.

Sy het dit heel geredelik aanvaar :)
Ek het voor die tyd besluit dat ek vir haar 'n PIENK halter gaan koop en het toe hierdie een by Feed & Seed in PE gekoop waar ek altyd Zaan se Speedibeet kry.
 Hier is 'n soortgelyke een:
pienk halter op amazon*

 Soos julle kan sien volg ek beslis die belonings taktiek met my emmertjie vol pille.

Dit werp defntief vrugte af!!

Is sy nie te pragtag nie?!! ♡ 

TREK

 My tweede verskoning is die groot trek.

Dit voel vir my of die tyd so bietjie stil gestaan het hier in Smithfield, 'n klein plattelandse dorpie in die Vrystaat :)

Die mense se agterplase is nog yslik, elk met 'n lusernlandjie (net jammer dat die water so skaars is) en ek hoor elke oggend skape iewers blêr en beeste bulk.

Ek kan net sien hoe mens lekker hoenders kan aanhou ;)

Die kinders ry met hul een-wiel fietse in die straat en byna die hele dorp kom help om jou stukkende pyp te vervang シ

Ek het 'n idee dat ons ons tydjie hier baie gaan geniet ♡

Ek het klaar groente gesaai en vandag sien ek dat die eerste piepklein saailinge hulle blaartjies bo die grond uitgesteek het! :D

Ek skuld julle nog 'n paar foto's daarvan.

Lekker LENTE vir julle!

Hoop jou saadjies is ook al in die grond 

Groete
