Giving a mention

 Here we go straight back and into the week from Hell....busy is the target language this week...me and everyone else and we are so,so stressed out ...its has to be post- Christmas Holidays depression.

Never mind though my blog my saviour!!!! :-)

I thought I'd try to add a mention about new blogs that are now lovely followers due to my recent giveaway and are under a 100 followers.  I'm going to start with Lisa at Crafty Lisa  she is new to blogging but she isn't new ...how about that for a contradiction.... she has been blogging since 2011 and she has 1 follower ....me! I think she needs a helping hand where getting to know other craft bloggers are concerned.
 I've been reading her latest post about her crocheted scarf made using crocodile stitch .... now she's got me there as I've never done crocodile stitch nor heard of it before. Lisa has made her scarf in variegated colours which are quite startling and lovely but as she has used this crocodile stitch as well it gives it a distinct layer -3D look to it. Very nice indeed!
All you generous -wonderful bloggers ... do pop in and see Lisa when you have time.

            
We were out last Sunday for our usual walk and it was such an incredibly beautiful sunny day even if the wind was icy cold. That's the way of it here,so much light a photographer's paradise and why it is known as the City of Light. We were up in the Ereta park again (our favourite haunt) looking down over the city.  After all these years living here in Alicante City it had never struck me the amount of Domes that are scattered across the city....it is in fact heavily populated with these numerous domes of all shapes and sizes. Camera in hand I decided to do a Dome photo shoot and here are the results:

 This is my favourite I think but its hard to choose from so many :-)  This is on the top of someones home...lovely building.

Lets see  photo 1,2 & 3 are churches  and the 4th is a convent.

Nº 1 is a private house ,2 is a church,3  St Nicholas Cathedral and 4th one of the domes on Santa Maria Church.

One of the domes on the Carbonell house facing the port. This mansion was owned by Enrique Carbonell, a textile manufacturer in the early 20th century, but it has now been converted into luxurious apartments.

 Mini dome on the Castle railings...I just liked it!

on the top of someones house.....a very small version.  There are many more but enough of domes :-)

have a great weekend
