This Is Just To Say
I have taken the yarn that was in the basket
and which you were probably saving for a scarf
Forgive me it was so lovely so colorful and so soft

A little bit of everything.
A Mild Texas Winter
I am stressed about my unfinished knitting projects. I like the process of knitting and usually it relaxes me but not lately. Perhaps it’s because I really wanted to have one in particular done by now, before winter was over. We have had a mild Texas winter. This is not a bad thing – there just haven’t been many days cold enough to wrap yourself up in wool.
On the other hand, the signs of spring are peeking out. I took this picture of white blossoms daring to show themselves on the tree in my backyard. They even made it through a thunderstorm, gusty winds and a tornado watch.
Well, if they can still bare their delicate blooms after all that, I can peacefully keep knitting.
恭喜 恭喜！
Happy Lunar New Year! 2012 Year of the Dragon.

Arabia
Art deco style covered dish from the Arabia porcelain factory, established in Finland in the 1870s. Throughout the last century, Arabia porcelain has been the traditional dinnerware in Finnish homes and has been passed on as family heirlooms. Delicate Arabia porcelain can be found in museums although today’s tableware is made for the modern family and is oven, microwave and dishwasher safe. This piece is one of the items still made by hand at the factory in Helsinki. The clay is hand-poured into molds from the mid-1900s that were recently discovered in storage. Each piece is hand-glazed to give it this vintage look.
