I tried an experiment with the square bear pattern. It makes me think of a tiny sasquatch. 😁

A light breakfast, followed by a trip to the local post office in the camper to dispatch Christmas cards, earned us a second breakfast in good Hobbit tradition. Fair Damsel thought it tasted absolutely Sunbeamadelicious and so did I.😋😋

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

The inside of my cabbage looks like something that would give H.P. Lovecraft sleepless nights.

Oops! I knew of the need for caution when cutting up beets, but I didn't think of it when I was chopping purple cabbage. A scrub brush has lightened the stains but I'm still a little blue. 😂

Wow! Thank you so much, Annabel Finley-Kensett for the package of wonderful things! I am truly blessed to have a kind and generous friend like you! 

The amethyst heart has joined a small collection of heart shaped objects given to me by people who love me. I am wearing the clear crystal which fits perfectly in my silver basket necklace. The Kitsune figure is beautiful! The amethyst spheres are fascinating. 

I love Piglet and Mr. C loves Tigger and is bouncing around singing "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers." He has decided that they will go on our Christmas stockings as decorations.

Sometimes I have little bits of yarn leftover that I can't really make anything with. But, when I tie them all together, something truly special happens! The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. How do you like my new tote bag? No scrap left behind! 😁

Following our main shop yesterday, we'd intended to have a full Sunday dinner with the pork roast we'd bought as a treat. Unfortunately, I chose to clean our deep fat frier using a method I'd seen on YouTube. Long story short, the washing up liquid bubbled up, overflowed and made a bit of a sticky mess. (note to self... treat YouTube tutorials with caution!)

I gave it my best effort today but, as evening approached, it was clear that it wouldn't be ready in time for roasting potatoes. Fair Damsel, ever resourceful, suggested mashed potatoes and baked beans as an accompaniment to pulled pork: I added bisto gravy to mine.😋

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Sarah is always so kind. Today she gave us some homemade fudge and little cakes. They are delicious! 😋

I was delighted to receive a generous package from my Fairy Yarnmother, Momma Wolf Shelly, today. The sunshine yellow allowed me to complete my set of celestial earbud pouches.

I've finished new Christmas stockings for Mr. C and myself. Hopefully Papa Noël will fill them with wonderful things.

I got to test another #crochet pattern for Green Fox Farms . This is the Druid Leaf Dice Bag which is a free pattern on their blog. I decided to do mine in autumn colours

My adorable husband, knowing of my love for Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, made me a breakfast this morning inspired by The World Turtle, The Great A'Tuin. 🐢 He apologized that he couldn't get the disc (egg) quite round. I was too much delighted by the cute bacon tail to care about that.

I finished making a new Christmas stocking for Mr. C last night. I hope Papa Noel fills it with lots of wonderful things. Now to make my stocking.

Granny Square of the Week - Week 42

You may have seen my posts about working my way through The Granny Square Card Deck. I learned pretty early on that my set was a knock-off. Don't blame Mr. C. I actually placed the order. Blame Amazon for not properly vetting their vendors. This week's square nearly did my head in as both the chart on the card and the written instructions in the booklet were incomplete. I have since learned that the patterns weren't even based on the original Granny Square Card Deck. They were all stolen from 'The Untimate Granny Square Source Book' which I have now acquired. I will still complete the squares shown on the cards I have but will use the book for instruction.

So, buyer beware! If you want to purchase a set Ike this, get it from a reputable book store.

Behold! The Alchemy Garden Square

Breakfast with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...

Not only was the breakfast Mr. C cooked for me Sunbeamadelicious, it was also a work of art.

Out and about with Mr. C 🌞❤️🌻...

Mr. C took a bike ride into the village to take some glass and paper to the recycling bins. He came back with some lovely pictures of the Christmas decorations. The first raises a few questions though.
