Fair Damsel joined me for a shopping trip to Intermarché and discovered the perfect scarf for Halloween. She celebrated her find by making Sunbeamadelicious sausage rolls.😋

All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

If you're out Trick-or-Treating make sure you stay safe and stop by Chez Campbell. We've got full sized KitKats!

#Halloween #TrickOrTreat

Why do I crochet so much? Because it helps keep me sane. It's not always about what I'm making. The act of crocheting, the motion of the hook, the texture of the yarn, the challenge of following some patterns - it's a form of meditation. If I give you something I've made, I'm giving you a little piece of me. Here's the little drawstring tortoise pouch I finished last night.

Moriarty seems to really like the new fluffy continuous granny square blanket I'm making. Fortunately he got hungry so I can continue crocheting.

Black Cat Day

In playing with pictures of Moriarty for #NationalBlackCatDay I found out this is what happens when you put his portrait through a fish eye lense filter.

I learned this daisy coaster pattern today from a YouTube tutorial by Jo to the World Creations and was inspired to make a seasonal set: crocus for Spring, daisy for Summer, sunflower for Autumn, and poinsettia for Winter.

Miss Watson must really like the bright colours of the scrap granny square tote I just started. I didn't mind until she actually started to try and eat the yarn. 😹 Look at that plaintive look and the way she clung to my thumb when I wouldn't let her. 😻

You know he loves you when he brings you a buckeye aka horse chestnut aka conker! 🥰

Update on us

21:08 hrs

Fair Damsel treated us to homemade Cornish pasties tonight. Then, with the leftover pastry and a sprinkling of sugar she made tasty sweet bites.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.😋

Today I lost at yarn chicken coming up short by 2 rows on the second handle of my tote. 😔 Unwilling to admit defeat, I executed a stunning reversal. I detached the first handle, frogged 1 row and used the yarn to add 1 row to the second handle. Victory! 😁

With temperatures in the 80s we finally made it to the lake for a spot of fishing and a picnic. I caught 5 tiddlers and as we were leaving a huge fish leapt out as if to say, "Can't catch me!"

Never mind...

Dinner was Sunbeamadelicious.😋

😊💫🌻🌞

Update on us:

We spent a lovely afternoon by the lake. Mr. C caught and released 5 little fish. I crocheted a star. And look what I almost stepped on walking back to the house! 🦔 Thank goodness I spotted it! I'd have badly injured it and probably fallen if I'd put my foot down!
