Sunday is Luna Day and this is the face of a puppy who is very very tired but hoping that her human treat dispenser might have some more of those little bone things.
If she falls asleep she might miss eating something... 🥱🐶

Made myself a Car-Ear beanie just in time for the snow!
It's a 50% cotton/acrylic blend so not itchy but also not sweaty and not too heavy. It worked up pretty fast with a 5mm hook.
Young'un has pronounced it "cute" and I am officially allowed to wear it outside the house! 🧶 #crochet

This is where I live - the Marshwood Vale here in Dorset, England. No snow today but a frost that's permeated my toes.

'In the Bleak Midwinter'. A poem by the English poet Christina Rossetti. Published as 'A Christmas Carol' in 1872.
Beautiful words.

As promised a very long time ago I’m painting a smaller daffodils piece….
I can hardly move for multiple layers I’m wearing.
Who’s planted their bulbs ready for spring?

Sunday is Luna Day and we're trying a new toy
It works very well until it goes in the water bowl and gets very wet and heavy 😁

Yesterday was Young'un's second stall and we sold out everything we baked except for six buns and four cookies.
She's delighted, I'm very proud!
I help with some of the basic baking but the ideas, planning/organising and the decoration of the cakes, the handmade cards, the labels etc are all her. 😎
