Slightly smaller than a dime is this adorable, teeny, tiny mouse.

My friends and I were having so much fun catching up with each other, I completely forgot to photograph what was on my plate today.  So, instead, you get what was on my plate last Thursday...except it never did make it to a plate.  I do love steam-table Chinese.

There is something incredibly dream-like to walk through the woods on a foggy day.

The air coming through my kitchen windows caused the prisms to create a myriad of lovely rainbows dancing across the ceiling.  It was a much needed bit of joy on a day when I was feeling blue.

Finishing scarf #2 for athletes of the 2014 Iowa Special Olympics is very good, indeed.  Now onto scarf #3.  My goal in to make nine.  We'll see whether I've enough yarn.  Fingers crossed.

RAIN!!!  I know; for you who live in areas where it rains throughout the year, this is no big deal.  However, for us, our rain season is usually over by now, so it's exciting.  We didn't have nearly enough rain this winter, so I'm thrilled to see it for that reason as well.  I do love the rain!

This is actually a two-for as it's antimacassars on an armchair.  Antimacassars were small coverings, usually ornamental, placed on the backs and arms of upholstered furniture to prevent wear or soiling, particularly in an age when men used brilliantine (macassar oil) on their hair.  They started in the Edwardian age, continued through the Victorian period and can still be found.  These were crocheted by my Gram Nissen.

Blue; the color of air and water.  Blue; the color of life.

I love to PLAY with yarn.  When it's lovely hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn from a friend, it's even more fun to play with.  Thank you, Kathi!
