A white and black crocheted jester
I do love testing patterns! This one is by @altxversi (IG) for a cute Ghost Jester Snuggler. The pattern is available to download on Etsy. I've named mine Dr. Whiteface. Sir Terry Pratchett fans will recognize him as the head of The Fools Guild.

Text: Update on us. 21:37 hrs It's been a hot day today and we had the car windows open as we took the opportunity to drive to the Action store in Vitre. Fair Damsel setup the satnav as we were leaving and accepted the recommended route. Interestingly, it deviated from the normal journey and took us down an unfamiliar country road which seemed a bit odd to me. A mere five minutes later I was surprised to see that we'd reached our destination. Fair Damsel took this photo of the beautiful scenery. All's well in our world, Sunbeams. 🙂☄️🌻🌞

Text: Update on us: 18:45 hrs. We had a fairly early start this morning; so, we both took a nap after breakfast. Since we had access to Sarah's car in the afternoon we ventured to Vitre. Mr. C let me loose in the craft section of Action while he tracked down his favourite almond cakes. Then we braved the unfamiliar Intermarche which is annoying because the selection and layout are very different from that in La Guerche. We persevered and got what we needed plus a dill plant for my herb garden. The real question is: which flavour of crisps should I try first. J'adore la vie française. 🌞❤️🌻
4 skeins of periwinkle coloured yarn, various wooden beads, abd a pack of crochet hooks
7 packets of almond cakes
5 packest of various flavours of crisps
Update on us:
Yep. I'm at it again, making the same pattern over and over in different colour combinations.

Hooray!
Sweet dreams, Dave!
Merci, ma amie!
Mr. C cooked us breakfast this morning which gave me the strength to get outside & plant the violas that have been in the skylight garden into a large planter on the front porch. He pulled a bunch of weeds from around the porch but left the feral forget-me-nots because he knows how much I like them.

Easter Sunday Dinner with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...
Marrying an Englishman has led me to learn some recipes I might not have otherwise tried. Tonight's toad-in-the-hole with Lincolnshire sausages from Elliotts Boucherie was a triumph according to Mr. C.

Mr. C cooked me a lovely Easter breakfast 🦋 with fresh eggs from Sarah's chickens. He surprised me with lovely Easter flowers he picked out all by himself. 🥰

Life with Mr. C 🌞❤️🌻...
Mr. C: When I was walking past the church I heard a pigeon cooing and I wondered if it was cooing in French.
Me: It was cooing in pigeon. They don't coo in French or English.
Mr. C: pigeon English?
Me: 🙄 I walked right into that one, didn't I?
Mr. C: 😁

Miss Watson has been sulking all afternoon/evening because I was enjoying my new chair and wasn't on the bed where she could lay on me. I'm in bed now but she's still pouting. 😾

Text: Update on us: 18:55 hrs. It's been a dismally grey and damp day but we wanted a few things; so, after a hearty breakfast, we ventured out in Sarah's car to La Guerche. We started out at Le Noz in search of new rubbish and recycle bins for the kitchen which we happily acquired at a good price. We also found a great deal on Tulip brand "Spam" which we enjoy. I had been a bit sad when I saw papasan chairs for sale recently but had to admit that we just didn't have room for one in the apartment. The lack of furniture is one reason I always appear to be in bed. There was no other comfortable way to watch TV. Imagine my delight when I found a smaller, foldable papasan style chair at Le Noz which is comfy and supports my back and can be stowed away when not in use. We made a few more stops for necessities ahead of the long holiday weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in my new chair, sipping tea and eating cheese while Mr. C and I relaxed with Angela Labsbury as Miss Marple in 'The Mirror Cracked.' All's well in our world, Sunbeams! 🌞❤️🌻

I can't resist a pretty sunflower pattern. As I often do, I felt compelled to make 2 of these coasters and stitch them together to make a pouch. This time I joined them at the base of the petals so they could remain softly ruffled.

An avocado green tote bag with rust and peach flowers and a small, round matching pouch hung on one handle
I just finished this project that has been languishing in my WIP pile for some time. I didn't have enough of the green to make the tote bag design that I had in mind; so I improvised and I'm really pleased with the result. I also made a wee pouch/bag charm.

Merci! 😘
4 yellow crocheted stars with wooden beads spelling positive words in French: SANTÉ = health (often used as a toast like "Cheers!") BISOU = kiss BONNE = good RÊVER = to dream
I tried another fidget star idea using some letter beads from my crafting stash. I don't have many vowels left but I managed to spell a few positive French words:
SANTÉ = health (often used as a toast like "Cheers!")
BISOU = kiss
BONNE = good
RÊVER = to dream

A raised bed full of herb plants
I weeded my herb garden and planted my new sage plant. I let my parsley go to seed last year and some new plants came up on the left. The plant on the right is lovage aka perennial celery.
I think Limonaid the horse's contribution 💩 has really benefitted the plants.

We had a lovely drive to Elliotts Boucherie this afternoon, the first time we've made the over an hour journey without either thick fog or rain.
We enjoyed flora and fauna along the way and brought home lots of sausages, bacon, pies, and other goodies.
We had pork pies and a nice salad for dinner.
