The Piazza which was once tennis courts. “Trinity” my fav building is on the right.

We will walk from area 3 and 2 on the map down to area 1 by the sea.

Some buildings are shops just like you would expect in a village.

Other shops were having building work so were closed. It was March so very early in the season.

An interesting looking grotto has been built by the river.

The slope of the hill has been used well with tiered viewing places.

I leave with you with this final shot of Portmeirion- the waterfall leading from the pools in the Piazza to the sea.

Now for this week’s makings:

IMG_4676

I made a fabric tube

IMG_4677

for this  crochet dachshund draught excluder.

IMG_4678

It came from this vintage book.

IMG_4679

Can you think of a good name for it? I am so undecided.

IMG_4697

Pumpkinville 5 is finally done.

IMG_4702

Here it is with the rest of Pumpkinville so far. One more block and I will be halfway.

I still don’t like needle turning! Tell me this is good discipline.

IMG_4710

I also have the fairy log cabin blocks which Simone gave me, sewn into this mini quilt.

IMG_4711

Detail of one of Simone’s blocks.

 I have some embroidery started now that Pumpkinville 5 is done. It is a little reward for me.

Will share when it is done.
