Seaside

                                             Just back from a lovely time at the seaside.......

..................we went to the isle of anglesey as mr p was sailing his boat in the annual menai straits regatta.....we stayed as usual in the pretty little seaside town of beaumaris where we met up with sailing friends for parties, drinks and meals  and it was fun...........and the family came and stayed with us which was fun too........

.....i love the little houses and shops painted in ice cream colours , and i loved the new signs outside the gorgeous janet bell gallery (as well as the things inside it )........

.........a tranquil postcard showing puffin island and penmon lighthouse......the puffin island race is mr p's favourite one of all..................

.............i just had to show you these adorable seaside blocks that fee of chipper nelly made for me, they have several different 'looks' depending which sides you show which is very clever.....you can find chipper nelly here....we had some lovely making memories times with charlie and daisy..........

.........going crab reeling, playing on the beach with buckets and spades, paddling, collecting shells, eating ice creams..i will always remember daisy running off along the newly refurbished pier, her little two year old legs going amazingly fast..........

....and charlie opening the shutters in our bedroom first thing in the morning and announcing happily 'blue sky'....obviously very important to check when you are at the english seaside ;)...........

...........some crafty things to show you.....here are two new farmer's wife blocks on the left is whirlpool and on the right storm signal.........i asked mr p if there were any whirlpools in the straits and he said yes, one of the boats in the regatta got caught in one and went round in circle for half an hour before sailing out of it......and though it was very windy sometimes luckily there was no storm signal..............

.....i did a little bit of crochet while away and my daughter brought hers so we managed a little bit of crafting one evening...........this is a new cushion i made recently, inspired by the white border crochet blanket that i'm still making..............

...........this is the back of it......i loved making the great big granny square...........now i'm home to lots of new work, an order of lovely fabrics and lots of inspiration...........and my giveaway gifts are almost finished so look out for it sooooon................thanks for visiting here.......have a lovely week.....back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
