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... 🥱🐶

Did I need another mug?
Nope.
Have I bought another mug?
OF COURSE I HAVE 🦊🤎🧡🦊

I have successfully crocheted a pair of socks with James C Brett's Happy Feetz yarn; I tend to use them over another pair because I have horribly sweaty hooves, but they did turn out very cute.

Deliberately mismatched socks would be AWESOME, absolutely do it! 😁

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
🤣🤣🤣

A trip to the local shop this afternoon was rewarded with this sunset; the first hints of winter in the sky #ViewFromTheVan

I'm 57, lads, I need my nana naps!

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. 😎

I just realised I have neglected to introduce my new grand-puppy. This chaos goblin is Luna, rescued from being given away for dog-fighting by Young'un's boyfriend
The Boy is suddenly a baby-daddy and is trying very hard to do it well
Young'un is a little taken aback but trying to be supportive!

Some good news from Cornwall through the bird...

My hair wash routine is:
1) Brush tangles and loose hairs out
2) In shower, shampoo, rinse
3) Condition, finger comb.
4) Rinse, squeeze out
5) Wrap in a towel
6) Squeeze gently with towel to remove most of the water
7) Finger comb curl treatment through
8) Leave to air dry.

Definitely a chore!

Yesterday Young'un had her first ever stall at a craft fayre. She made cupcakes, cookies, cake pots, sweet bags and handmade cards and things sold really well.
Super proud of her resilience and skill ☺️

From the Bird App this morning.
Posting here as I know @amandamugford.bsky.social at least is in Cornwall and I may have other pals from there too @wozwoz.bsky.social I think?
She's put it in local FB pages but every little helps, I reckon...

Muck spreading is slurry, which absolutely stinks! 😫
I've just had a look and it's still called Mucky Lane 40 years on, although the cows are sadly walking elsewhere 🐮

Living as we do on a heavy clay soil we're blessed with some stunning oak trees. Very much at their autumn best now, with the sun coming out of the mist to give them a golden glow 🍂 🌳

Making some slippers because it's quick and satisfying and I want to try out a method I read about for making some grippy soles using felt and fabric paint.
One and a half completed so far - two strands of yarn and a 5mm hook, then a standard toe-up sock pattern

Did a little photoshoot for my latest blanket #crochet 🧶
It's the Fiber Spider's Filet blanket using Aldi rainbow yarn cakes and leftover balls of odds and ends
October 25, 2025 at 1:38 PM
Done it!
Took me a few minutes to get the colours as accurate as I could
It's opposite my chair in the sitting room so I can enjoy it every time I glance up ☺️

Can we throw my Young'un a bit of cake appreciation?
She spent 5 hours crafting this three-layer red velvet cake for Mr H's birthday tomorrow and she's just said she's "not sure if it's professional enough".
She's 17 and did this entirely on her own.
(I've taste tested, it's delicious!)

Young'un asked me to put a face on her crocheted pumpkin 🧶 🎃
Who am I to argue? 😁

I follow the Crocheters in the Sky one and it seems to work pretty well 🙂
I'm making a Which Way Filet blanket by Fiber Spider at the moment and it's an excellent one for watching telly at the same time!
