When I first read Becky’s April Challenge, my first thought it wasn’t for me. That thought didn’t last long. By nature, I have a healthy competitive streak all the better for taking on something new.
My take on this challenge is focusing on a little red cherry on TOP of a cupcake. It so happens to be sitting on TOP of a pier railing high above the sea. The site for both is Saltburn-by-the-sea. A delightful area on the Yorkshire Coastline.
On our visit, we had glorious sunshine and a sea breeze that softly brushed past us as we walked the long pier at the same time admiring the yarnbombing, which is a yearly event. I wrote about more of this and more via North Yorkshire revisited
Are you up to the challenge? Can you think of something “on top”?
If so, have a go, just follow the Squares Image to the right of this page or the below link to find out more.

So sweet, Suzanne! I love your project! I am new to knitting, so everything is a work in progress. Then crocheting makes me go cross-eyed, so I have such admiration for those who can pull it off. My crocheting has been limited to small roses that cover the holes in my knitting – haha! You are truly an artiste! Lovely work! Michelle ❤

What a cute cupcake, Suzanne! Knitting and crochet were never my forte but I admire those who do well with it. Glad you are on board with Becky’s TOP challenge, it’s fun!

It is fun, Terri. Uses up a bit of my time going through older photos and trying to create some sort of order. May take longer than I thought or it may never happen!
Yes, I am also not a knitter, used to years ago. The yarnbombers are very creative and certainly make a few of us smile.

Apologies Anabel, I missed your comment for some reason. They are very creative knitters, and I think it’s a fun way to socialise and at the same time promote more visitors to your local area. A great idea.

La cerise sur le gateau is the French way of saying ‘the cherry on top’ so you have scored double points chez moi! 🍒 🍰

I don’t knit or crochet but I really appreciate the artistry of those who do. The little cupcake with the cherry on top is adorable… even if it can’t be eaten.

I am the same. The little cupcake was fun as was the cup of tea from Bettys. With a reduction on our movements food seems to be on our minds more frequently. Lucky for me I can burn most of it off at the local athletic field which is in my neighbourhood. Are you still enjoying your walks?

Hi Becky, I’m enjoying going through all my photos and finding out what’s in all those folders. In dire need of some sorting out and deletion of many!

Looks like another fun challenge, especially when locked-down at home. I’ve never joined any of Becky’s photo challenges, but would if I had the time, electricity, and energy. I follow a few bloggers who do post photos for the challenge and their – as well as your – creations are fun to look at. 🙂

Saltburn-by-the-sea is famous for its yarn bombing, I think Restless Jo has posted about it several times. Amazing what these knitters can come up with and I love the cherry on top!

We have quite a few yarn bombing enthusiasts in NZ. Actually another popular place was Portugal! Yes, I have seen Jo’s posts which are great.

Thanks, Suzanne. I love this shot! If I didn’t have a walk to write for tomorrow, not to mention Squares, I might be tempted to rush off to my archives. So many memories! Cup a tea, ‘n a cake 🙂 🙂 (coffee, but tea always sounds better)
