Inside our little cottage I have been so cold, unable to keep warm, dressed in jumpers, socks upon socks, blankets and throws and hot water bottles, one cosy afternoon finally warm and too ill to go to work I sat browsing Raverly and found this http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/delquilter/71972755/DSCF8981_medium.jpg
by delquilter, tip toeing up our steep cottage stairs, opening a big cream drawer finding my spare CK coloured yarn and a little hot water bottle I sat and started to make little squares to cover the sunshine yellow rubber.
Today whilst joshy was at school sammy and I pottered in our little nest, looking at books and brightly coloured crochet, drinking tea and sitting one mummy one fourteen month old under blankets and cushions our feet warm hidden under brightly coloured stripes, reading bbc homes and antiques and that's not my tigger (SAMs favourite) watching as the sun danced in past the cherry tree through our little window resting on little sprigs of lavender sat in hand painted Victorian glass, I love cosy winter afternoons,

I love your hottie cover, and I love the little chubby hands too!

Felicity, it's fun to see how your granny squares grew and grew and made a cozy cover for that hot water bottle. Bravo!
When country dreaming takes over my waking New York City mind, and I think about a little cottage, I admid that I do not think that little cottage might be more than a little chilly. The apartment where I live is often just a bit too warm during the winter months. I think this is because the boiler furnace in the basement has to keep the heat channeling upwards way past my floor to keep the apartments well above me warm.
When I read your post, I do have a glimpse of cottage reality, and then get swept up again in the beautiful cottage dream, courtesy of your beautiful photos.
Hoping that your weather warms!
Love the little hot water cover. Hope you are feeling better and warmer. Was thinking about getting the bus down your way next week if the weather warms up, a bracing walk along the with a flask of hot chocolate might be good fun. Then again if it's too chilly it would be a nightmare! Have to see if the weather behaves.
