Mr. C gave me The Granny Square Card Deck for my birthday. I'll #crochet 1 square every week with Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8 yarn, size H (5mm) hook. This will give me 50 squares with 2 weeks to join them into...something before my next birthday. Week 31 - Levantine Square

C'est une bonbonnière.


I like making little sacks and putting a few sweeties inside them to brighten the days of cashiers, receptionists and others who help me when I'm out and about.

Strong winds and rain today, so I gave gardening a miss. I contented myself with watching classic Time Team on YouTube and generally taking it easy.


Fair Damsel, on the other hand, turned her skills to making banana bread. It is absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.πŸ˜‹


All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Odin stopped by for dinner tonight. We hadn't seen him in a while. I know he looks scruffy but he actually looks better than the last time we saw him.

I finished another beanie. It was a bit of a nail biter toward the end, but I won this game of yarn chicken.

Another warm day, ideal for relaxing indoors with another couple of episodes of Time Team. The first was from the new series and we both agreed that it has improved since the first few viewings. The second was from the original team who stand head & shoulders above the new one.


For dinner, Fair Damsel treated us to baked chicken with jacket potato and peas & carrots. Mine was extra special.❤️❤️


All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

I added 2 more squares to my ongoing crochet stitch sampler scarf last night. It's actually long enough to wear now.

😁

A cool start to the day proved to be deceptive as it became much warmer when we were driving into town. On the way we passed a huge black bull which we'd never seen before and discussed the possibility of it having been brought in to service the farmer's herd.


In Intermarche, Fair Damsel found a few treats: salmon quiche and a pot of gerbera daisies for her and a huge collection of cookies for me. She had the salmon quiche with mozzarella sticks, and I treated myself to beans with bread & margarine.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.πŸ˜‹

A bittersweet moment today: I used the last of my most favourite yarn of all time. I bought it years ago as a mill end with no label. I know I'll never find it again. I made a scrunchie to match my favourite one so I don't have to save it for special occasions to avoid wearing it out.

I think I'm getting better at embroidering the eyes so I can make baby safe toys.

It's been a cooler day, spent indoors listening to stories and watching Time Team on YouTube. However, I took advantage of a sunny spell to take a stroll to the lake with a feline companion.The change since I last visited is amazing.


All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Intermarche has ginormous avocados on sale this week. I enjoyed half of one with my breakfast this morning. πŸ₯‘πŸ˜‹

Friday, August 29, 2025



Today was a learning day. First, because I couldn't find a pattern for a crocheted star that someone posted that I really wanted to make, I stared at a picture and counted stitches until I figured it out.


Then I followed a YouTube tutorial to make the "Stained Glass" Granny Square which I've wanted to try for a while. It is complicated but not difficult, if that makes sense.

What do you think of my new Emotional Support Chicken (poule de soutien émotionnel)? She's so fluffy! 😁 Rincewind the starling isn't sure what to think.

The customs inspectors (Moriarty and Watson) have consulted and approved the latest delivery from my Fairy Yarnmother. I see more hats and hippos in the future. Mr. C and I are both excited about the bakewell tarts. πŸ˜‹

I love how this beanie and fingerless gloves set turned out. Now I have to convince myself that I don't need another set. For now they're in my "in case I need a gift for someone box."
