I got behind because of all of the holiday bruhaha; so I did two squares this week.

Today I am thankful for the gift of warm feet.

The Hogfather came and he brought me my very own swamp dragon! Meet Errol! 😁 🐲

Santa came!

I got many lovely gifts today, but one had me perplexed at first. It was hard as a brick until I took it out of the packaging and it expanded. It's a U shaped pillow to put on my lap when I crochet to take the strain away from my elbows and shoulders. Brilliant!

 

Good morning, Sunbeams!

Bonjour, Rayons de Soleil!

🌞❤️🌻❤️😻😻🐦‍⬛

Miss Watson hopes you're all keeping nice and warm.

 Note to self:

If you make bubble and squeak with purple cabbage it comes out puce! 🫣

It tasted a lot better than it looks.

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate!

Mr. C fashioned me a fried bread piggy for my Hogwatch breakfast. 🥰

 Blessed Solstice, dear siblings.

Mr. C drove and I navigated for over an hour through pea soup fog to reach Elliotts Boucherie this morning! It was well worth it. The staff/owners were absolutely lovely and we got loads of English goodies that we haven't been able to find elsewhere. Meat pies, and sausages, and bacon, oh my! Mr. C is doing us a fry-up as I type this. 😋

I got creative with the lid from a can of Bisto Gravy, scissors, my hole punch, some yarn, stickers, and a jingle bell.

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.

Dollies!

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! 😁

Update on us

20:14 hrs

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.
