Heart number 19 in my quest to see how many different ones I can make for Random Acts Of Kindness before my birthday on Valentine's Day. My goal is 29 - one for each day of the month. This one is a Pocket Hug. 🤗❤️

Heart number 18 in my quest to see how many different ones I can make for Random Acts Of Kindness before my birthday on Valentine's Day. My goal is 29 - one for each day of the month. I had finished this an then saw that it was asymmetrical. I had left out a chain 2 in the next to the last row. I found the end I had woven in invisibly and frogged the final row to correct my mistake.

Last night I finished heart number 17 in my quest to see how many different ones I can make for Random Acts Of Kindness before my birthday on Valentine's Day.

My latest heart looks a bit surprised to find that he's number 15 in my quest to see how many different hearts I can #crochet before my birthday.

 

Giving some people a piece of one's mind is just a waste of IQ points.

We watched the truly lousy 1979 South African slasher flick 'The Demon' tonight.

Mr. C: Who edited this?

Me: No one. That's the problem.

Mr. C: The best thing you could say about it was it had nudity and we didn't even get to see that.

(They had blurred all the naughty bits.)

Despite being in pain, Fair Damsel was determined to come shopping with me. As usual she brought me good luck as the assistant asked if we wanted to use the balance on our loyalty card: saved us over nine euros.

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

😊💫🌻🌞

When I tried a swirly heart crochet pattern tonight I immediately knew I needed to make a Van Gogh inspired version.

A quiet day as Fair Damsel had a difficult night and needed to rest.

That didn't stop her from serving up her homemade KFC style chicken for dinner.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋

Can anyone spot why headlines like this drive me batty? 🙄

Leftovers for dinner and Midsommer Murders what more could I ask for?

Fair Damsel, "I've got a surprise movie for you... Cary Grant and Peter Lorre (1944).

Me, "Ooooo!"

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

A warm day with early frost. I broke the ice for Limonaid, fed the chickens and collected one egg.

We watched Star Wars partway before preparing dinner: potatoes and veg by me: chicken, Yorkshire pudding & gravy by Fair Damsel.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.

😊💫🌻🌞

Note from Mrs. C: I had some drippings from our Christmas chicken that I'd saved in the freezer. I used it for the Yorkshire Pudding. 😋

Moriarty was all ready to disrupt my knitting and settle in for a nap but he just can't resist a damsel in distress.

It's amazing what a few added stitches can do. The one on the left is faithful to the YouTube tutorial by AmiaMikanclCrochet. For the second one I added a 2 chain picot at the bottom and I think it really enhances the heart shape.

February is approaching so I'm learning some new heart patterns.

A cold day so I cleaned the appartement.

Fair Damsel needed some fishing line for a project and while locating it in the camper I found the keys to her bike lock which were lost when unpacking it.

She treated me to spam fritters for dinner.😋

'Carry On Digging'

Mr. C and I were watching an episode of 'Time Team' when I had a brilliant idea for a new comedy film: 'Carry On Digging' starting Tony Robinson and Phil Harding!

Talk about a stash buster! I'm afraid I lost count but I used up at least 30 small skeins of yarn bought years ago on clearance at $0.50 each. As they originally retailed for $5.99 you can imagine how chuffed I am to have such a cozy and luxurious new blankie. It's a continuous granny square made with mostly Bernat Boa yarn.

A night of heavy rain continued into the afternoon leaving everywhere waterlogged. Once it had stopped I gathered grass and dandelions from the lake area: Limonaid & Little Goat appreciated the change from hay.

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

I just realized that "yarn chicken" can have two different meanings.

J'ai laissé aujourd'hui six petits signets trombones dans la boîte à livres de la Salle Jules Verne à Cuillé.

Today I left six small paperclip bookmarks in the Little Free Library at the Salle Jules Verne in Cuillé.

I also learned the French word for paperclip is trombone.

A freezing but productive day. Before preparing breakfast I fed the animals, changed litter trays and charged the camper battery. This evening I insulated the bathroom and put the cats away before enjoying Fair Damsel's cooking.

All's well in our world.🌞

After breaking the ice on Limonaid's water and feeding her and Little Goat, I noticed it was snowing: tiny blobs but it's a start.

Later I drove Fair Damsel to Laval where we stocked up on canisters for our gas heater.

All's well in our world.😊💫🌻🌞

Another chilly day but we managed to go shopping in the afternoon.

Later, Fair Damsel created a large frog which led on to a smaller companion. They're mine now and I think you can guess why.

Tis the season to be jolly and joyous... Fa la la !

Ma grenouille à longues pattes veut te faire un gros câlin !

A freezing cold day so we stayed in bed and slept a good part of it away.

Later, Fair Damsel had an urge for fish & chips with mushy peas. She'd been thinking about it since yesterday...

So here we are.😋

It's time for #SpotTheCat, this time with Moriarty!

A hard frost prevented the camper from starting so Sarah loaned me her car to pop into town for supplies.

Bought pork chops on impulse...

They went down a treat.

You can probably guess which one's mine.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋
