Poor old Young'un has had a cake order downgraded to a batch of cupcakes because the customer didn't want to pay her asking price.
The downside of life as a prospective small business owner!
She did a beautiful job of the cupcakes.
Although she did suggest writing "Tight Arse" inside the box lids 😁

Luna is here and this is the face of a Very Tired Puppy who is refusing to go to sleep
Today we have practiced Sit, Wait and Heel and she's been chasing her tail which is a bit of a precarious business on a laminate floor.
Especially when most of you is legs...

The view from the front drive and our upstairs front window at sunset
I grew up on the North Yorkshire Moors and I miss the hills but by gum we get some good skies out here!

Post an old photo of you, if you choose 🙂
Aged around ten here (am going by my hair length!) so this would be late 1970s
The dog was called Twiggy and the photo was probably taken by my Mum.
I'm outside our kitchen window and behind me you can see the barn, the granary and the hen-house.

Had to get up at bird fart this morning to take the van to the garage, walk from garage to station (1 mile) walk from station to home (another mile), pick up the little car and go for the top up shopping
Already done 6,700 steps.
Absolutely buggered 😁
At least it didn't rain! #my400

A tiny nerdgasm, if you will permit me
I wonder if Paddington in the musical is created this way because the more artistic approach to theatre puppetry is too far from the general image of Paddington?
I LOVE theatre puppet characters but I could see this sort of thing feeling wrong for Paddington

My pal Luna is here, and today we have practiced Sit, Wait, Come and Heel, as well as rediscovering that felt snuffle balls and water bowls don't make a good combination
Now we are doing Sneaky Knee Naps.
Nobody is to tell Mr H that Luna's bum is propped on his chair, OK? #DogsOfBlueSky

Festive kitchen corner ☺️
I made the Santa gnome; Young'un made the garland and painted the little wooden tree under the light
The rest is cute stuff collected over the years 🎄

No idea tbh
When I say "vintage" I mean "conforms to British Standards 1976" 😁
I got it from a charity shop and suspect someone had it in their cupboard for literally years!

I've just uncovered these two balls of vintage fluffy chunky yarn in my Box Of Doom and I feel as though they deserve to be a short scarf or cowl.
Anyone got a nice #crochet pattern they can point me towards?
(The colour is actually a sort of magenta, it's quite pretty 😍)

Young'un and I bought some Massive Baubles and hung them on the baby oak tree opposite the front door.
I made sure the stepladder was well positioned and stood on the bottom rung and she did the climbing up and hanging.
We are ridiculously pleased with ourselves 😊 #festive

Just had seven kilos of very leggy puppy up on my knee for huggles and she finally fell asleep.
Not easy when you're sitting on a dining chair 🤣
Popped her in her bed, covered her up and supplied ear rubs till she nodded off
Might have to move an old easy chair in here for napping, lads.

It's Sunday so Luna is here.
Today we've had a play, carried on working on Sit and Wait and started practicing Heel.
Then she worked out where the radiator is so we had a quick session of Spot the Little Bugger
I've moved her bed to see if she'll settle and go to sleep there; she's resisting a nap!

This is the swatch I did that included the blue; I was concerned that it would dominate the other colours too much.
It's a gorgeous colour and I have four 100g balls so it will no doubt feature in something else soon!

Because I've spent several hours this weekend puppy-sitting, I have made excellent progress on this very nice jumper pattern, which is my version of the Cosy Cross Sweater by Craft and a Cuppa on YouTube. Tutorial is excellent!
This is King Cole Forest recycled Aran yarn and a 5mm hook 🧶 #crochet

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... 🥱🐶

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
