Baby It's Cold Outside

But inside it's lovely and snug.  I must say one thing about this cold, wet and windy weather, it does mean a lot of time indoors being crafty.

Look how much progress I've made with my squares!


I've re-measured the cushion and recalculated the number of squares needed.  Rather than 9 x 9, I think I only need to do a 7 x 7 square.  49 squares, much more manageable than the 81 I originally thought I have to make.



I love all the colour combinations, but this one in particular is my favourite.


It reminds me of spring-time blossom.  It's so pretty.

Yesterday morning, the winds seemed to have abated although the temperature has dropped considerably.  I took the opportunity to stroll along the beach.  I was fortunate enough to be out at the one time during the day that the sun was shining and there were some glorious views.  Amazingly I had remembered to put my camera in my pocket.

So close, you could almost reach out and touch it!

Looking towards Liverpool - can you spot the Liver Building?

After my walk the rains returned - so back in the house, snuggle up and crochet away!

  4. Love those squares. I'm doing some myself but I keep flitting from one wip to another. . I forgot Liverpool had a beach! Its a few years since I visited . Lots to do there. I remember being absolutely astounded at the height of the Anglican cathedral when viewed on the inside.
