Thank you so much to Sunforce @Jedigrl99 for the lovely morning surprise. I can confirm that lupines do indeed grow in France and we will plant some of these when we have time to clear some space in the garden. Renovations shouldn't go on too much longer. 😁

'Lingering Longing'


The wind was wuthering on the height


But no hero would come to save me


No one would aid me in taking flight


No heart to bind me and set me free

It's been a while since we had a picnic in the camper but as it's a holiday weekend we packed up chicken & tomato sandwiches, crisps, custard, and tea and headed to one of our favourite parks. We also enjoyed a spirited game of Boggle.

In the first few frames, you can see Watson's normal reaction to belly rubs. Just now she came over and actually ASKED for belly rubs! What kind of Bizarro Universe have I slipped into?

Happy Towel Day!


Moriarty would like to wish everyone a Happy #TowelDay !

Mr. Holmes



I'm so grateful to our Twitter friend @momma_wolf71 for this addition to our home art gallery. I love this portrait of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes: the best portrayal of my all-time favourite character from literature. She really did him justice.

My new favourite #crochet pattern: it can be made with any style granny square, I think. This is the Sunburst Granny Square.





Am I the only one? When I'm trying something for the first time, even if it's late and I'm tired, if I'm close to finishing I have to keep going. That's why I finished crocheting this little wallet at 3am. Watson and Moriarty took turns "helping" me.

😹

It's based on an Instagram video I saw of a passport case. I made it with finer (DK - 3) yarn and it worked out just the right size for credit or business cards. I made a granny square and then brought 3 corners to the center. I used the chain join method along the seams and continued the colour in slip stitches along the top edge. Then I added a button and voila!

"Kerfuffle!" she shouted, " Kerfuffle, where are you?"


He sheepishly came out from behind the helter-skelter. "Mom, I really wish you hadn't picked out our names at random from the dictionary."


"Oh relax. Now go find Fez and Beetroot. It's time to go home."

Pockets!


It's finally finished! After 40+ years of crocheting, I've been working on my first ever cardigan off and on since 17 January. I'm really jazzed about how it turned out. And look! It has pockets! 😁

I finished adding length to my hexi-cardigan. Now I get to do the finishing edge. I will experiment when I do to see how big the button holes need to be. I'm going to do the pockets and wash it before I add the buttons. Washing it will make it softer.

I had a frustrating morning but in the midst of that I passed a favourite wall and found it was in bloom. It truly is the little things in life that can fill me with so much wonder.
