A friend sent me a pic of a #crochet chart that, to me, was obviously AI shenanigans. Despite the "pattern" being clearly impossible as written, I took up the challenge. With a bit of fudging and the addition of some googly eyes I got something that's actually kinda cute.

Good morning, Sunbeams!

I made a wee hedgehog - une petite hérissonne !
🦔
Working with fuzzy yarn is, to put it politely, an adventure. Fortunately, if I can't see the stitches, neither can anyone else. I just crochet by feel.

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 37 - Haneen's Lovely Square
Somehow I missed last week; so, I'll do another square later this weekend. Oops. Got distracted by all the hats, I guess. 🤷♀️

Update on us...
19:50 hrs
The morning started rough as I got up and ready for Mr. C to drive me to La Poste in Cuillé only to find that it's closed until Tuesday.
We decided to try the postal dispatch in Craon, which is a bit of a drive. That wasn't too bad as we had the use of Sarah's car to reduce the travel time. Unfortunately the staff there told me they couldn't ship my package even though I'd mailed things from there before, something about codes changing. My French is still limited; so, I didn't completely understand, but she said I would have to go to the post office in the town center. I wasn't up for dealing with that and decided to try Cuillé again on Tuesday.
We went to Le Noz where we found a number of treats and a very much needed new coat for Mr. C at a bargain price.
Aldi yielded more goodies including some of their store brand beans for Mr. C to try and compare with his beloved Heinz. If he likes them we will go back for more as they are a fraction of the price. Baguettes were only 28 centimes; so, we got two: one for us and one for Sarah
I stayed in the car and had a snack while Mr. C gathered the last few things on our list at Super U before driving us home (Isn't home a wonderful word, Sunbeams?) for a nice cup of tea.
We'll be having tomato soup and baguette for dinner shortly.

Moriarty has thoroughly inspected the delivery from my new Fairy Yarnmother. Thank you so much, Eileen Claryt McGreevy ! I see hats and hedgehogs in my future. Mr. C is thrilled with the Bisto Gravy.

Update on us.
22:56 hrs
A cold, bright start to the day provided the perfect opportunity for a short bike ride before breakfast. It was freezing cold on the hands though, so I didn't stay out long.
The rest of the day was spent indoors, apart from a brief bike ride to the nearby chateau to drop off a letter from England that had been delivered to us by mistake.
Sunday dinner was a joint effort as usual with me in charge of the roast potatoes and veg whilst Fair Damsel took charge of the Yorkshire pudding, gravy, and, as a special treat, homemade thyme & parsley stuffing which she made for the first time ever. It was absolutely Sunbeamadelicious and went down a treat with an episode of Midsommer Murders.😋
All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Mr. C is such a good sport. Not only is he going to join me in starting 'Lord Of The Rings,' the extended edition at 08:35:38 so that Gandalf will say "It is 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th" at exactly the right time, but he's brought me tea and toast for first breakfast. We are going to try and have something for every Hobbit meal today. Second breakfast will be a fry up. 😋
