Happily ever after

 

The last inchie of 2021

It’s been a strange year,

but we still had our inchies ;-)

Jolande and I hope to see you again in 2022,

then we will be making “Colour-inchies”

Have a great New Year’s eve!

 

Santa Claus

 The wordpair with Saint Nicolas is

SANTA CLAUS.

Margriet and I wish you all a merry Christmas.

Paddington Bear

"Please look after this bear. Thank you."

 

Saint Nicolas

 This is clearly not a word pair with last week's Winnie the Pooh, 

that one has to wait another week.

Yesterday in the Netherlands and today in Belgium

it is the celebration of Saint Nicolas, so we 

celebrate him with this inchie. 

Winnie the Pooh

 

“People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.” 

Winnie-the-Pooh

Washing Machine

 In almost a year I have not been able to find a suitable picture of a washing machine. 

 Finally, last week, I took a picture of my own washing machine.

Laundry

 

There is always one sock missing!

Presents

 At this time of year most people go shopping

  for presents for Sint Nicolaas or Christmas.

Shopping

 

Bone

 A BONE for last week's dog.

Dog

 

A dog is man’s best friend 

Fly Agaric

 Every Gnome needs a Fly Agaric.

Gnome

 

Boat

 A Boat to watch last weeks river from the water.

River

 

Cupcake

 

A cupcake to enjoy with last week's tea.

Teapot

 

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough

or a book long enough to suit me.” – C. S. Lewis

 

Nurse

Ofcourse in a hospital there work a lot of nurses.

The moment I made the inchies for this year,

 there was a tv program about nurses

and the pictures in the tv guide was just the right size for this inchie.

Hospital

 

Home

 HOME is where the heart is!

House

 

Not my nicest work, but it is a house….a bit of a spooky one ;-)

Postcard

 We can use the stamp from last week on a postcard.

Stamp

 

A real and old stamp from the Netherlands

Cheese

Shall we give last week's mouse some cheese?

Mouse

 

Coffee

A day without coffee is like...

 just kidding, I have no idea.

Chocolate Milk

Keep Calm

And

Drink

Chocolate Milk

Alone

 His family was gone and Kevin was left home ALONE.

Family

If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder,

he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it,

rediscovering with him the joy, excitement,

and mystery of the world we live in.

Rachel Carson

 

Day

 After night comes day.

Night

“I love the silent hour of night,

For blissful dreams may then arise,

Revealing to my charmed sight

What may not bless my waking eyes.”

Anne Brontë, Best Poems of the Brontë Sisters

Cinderella

When I saw the word shoes on the wordlist that Margriet made I was busy making a Cinderella journal.
So the first thing  I thougt was glass slippers and thats why my word became Cinderella; my favorite fairy tale.

 

Shoes

 

One glass slipper

Bed

Bed & Breakfast

or Breakfast in Bed.

Breakfast

 

No breakfast is complete without coffee!

Apple

 If you look on Google you'll find a lot of stories about giving apples to teachers.

So that is why you always see apples in combination with school

and that is why it is an inchie word pair.

School

 

Sundial

I didn't have a stamp or picture of a sundial, so I used one of my own photos.

I saw his beautiful sundial in Bucharest, Romania.

 

Clock

 

We're running out of time

Palette

 Many painters use a palette for their paint,

so this week we have a palette for the paint from last week.

Paint

 

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,'

then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Vincent Van Gogh

Moon

"Aim for the MOON,

If you miss, you'll land among the stars."

So after the star inchie of last week I thought 

the moon was a fitting word.

Star

 

I'll wish upon a star....

Plane

 After the train now a plane,

also a form of transport.

Inchie Train

 

“The only way of catching a train I have ever discovered is to miss the train before.”
― G.K. Chesterton

Witch

 After last week's lovely fairy I thought

 let's make a witch on the inchie for this week.

I used a little sticker from the witch in the Efteling

(a famous Dutch Theme Park)

Fairy

"I do believe in fairies"

(I used a little stamp this week)

Inchie Movie

 Besides reading books I also love to watch movies.

When I made this inchie I just watched 

Bridget Jones's Diary so I used a picture

of that movie for this inchie.

Books

I love books!

 

Pussy-cat

 When I saw the word owl the first thing I thought about the poem of the owl and the pussy-cat,

so that became the word for this word pair.
