'Quiet Book Patterns' book

I noticed today on one of my favourite blogs, Make It & Love It that Ashley has a review and a giveaway of three 'Quiet Book Patterns' books by the very clever girl from 'Serving Pink Lemonade', Amy Pincock. When I was making the Quiet Book for my granddaughters a while back, I got a lot of ideas from Amy's website and I was thrilled to read that she has now written a book of instructions and has included templates as well.

Two years ago I made a decision to join the Down to Earth Forums set up by Rhonda Hetzel who, I am sure most of my readers would know, has the extremely popular Down to Earth blog and has written a book of the same name. Since that time I have met so many helpful and interesting people from around the world who live in places that fascinate me.

 

The Quiet Book

Well...I had a good trip to Mt.Isa in the QANTAS plane and watched Happy Feet 2 on the way up. I had to have the volume up very high to hear the sound above the roar of the engines and was hoping that I wasn't laughing out loud as it was such a funny movie and not at all one which children would understand like most children's movies these days. The jokes would just go over their heads I am sure. The plane arrived on the tarmac in 38 degree heat and after a short walk across that warm surface I was greeted by my two little granddaughters and their mum and dad. It was lovely to see them again and I am always amazed at how much they grow in six months. I had intended to take some photos of this dry mining town but it is much too hot to be out of the aircon to take them so instead I took some photos of the Quiet Book I made for the girls a while back as I know there are a lot of nannas out there who would like to make one for their grandchildren.
