"What Is This?" Sunday

I am sorry for the delay. I guess I should get my own Internet access some time to make things easier... But here we go!

What Is This?Fame and Honor To: thereyougothen, Sally and Jenny! Good job, thank you for playing!

"What Is This?" Sunday

In good old tradition we hereby proceed to the well beloved feature...

What Is This?

I am certain you should have no problem with this, and I also think I should pick trickier stuff.
Last week it was, of course, a tea bag. Jhadur, Fame and Honor to you!

Today is a very exciting day for me. Family from the USA is coming to visit, for 2 weeks and I can't wait for them to finally get here. Richard is picking them up from the airport, and of course he could not help himself and had to take Elijah with. They haven't seen him since he was 7 months, and they are going to be so amazed to see how much he grew and how much he learned. He now walks, semi talks and eats anything he can get his little hands on. And then there is the firm believe that he is a mountaineer, nothing is to high for him to climb on. (A new set of challenges, diving head first of the bed did not do him all that good. The bruise is slowly getting better though...) But we do practice, and it is quite a blast to see him walk now.

Another week passed by, and that can only mean it is time for:

What Is This?

I am sure there will be no problem solving this one... It is something most of us have at home, and almost all of us like to have it.
Last Sunday's picture was of a massage ball. I use it to help with the circulation in my legs, it's a funky feeling as I am really ticklish, and I am not really sure where it is now since Elijah went to play with it. Jenny was close, so Fame and Honor to you! And yes, I have seen the laundry as well as the puppy version. Close, oh so close...

Since my husband, Elijah and I have been reunited, Elijah is a even happier baby. The time he spends with his Dad is so precious, they just get along so well and my husband is a very good and loving parent. Although I do need to remind him that it does not help to say "No!" and just sit back and smile when Elijah is going for it anyhow, 'cause Dad's a softy, he knows...

"What Is This" Sunday

It seems I have some timing issues... But I did successfully move this weekend, and now I even have Internet back. So let's proceed to:

What Is This?

So let's see who knows this.

Last weeks picture was, indeed, of a lamp. It is a lamp my mother bought at this Swedish furniture house, and a friend of hers covered it in this interesting paper. Margarete knew this one too, and so once more it is Fame and Honor to you!

Other news: I am doing quite well right now. And I am excited because here in the big city I'll find more knitting and people... And family from the USA is coming in October, that is very nice indeed.
And I am still knitting. Really.

"What Is This" Sunday

I know. It's too early, we don't have Sunday yet. But due to some unforeseen events I won't be there tomorrow, and as I did not want to miss this fun part of my week I just present you a bit earlier with:

What Is This?

Last week It was: A water bottle. "One of the most successful designs of the sixties, in Germany that is, done 1969 by Günter Kupitz." as Margarete knew. I did not know the fancy facts, just the basic... Thank you! Fame and honor to you!
I personally think this next one is impossible to guess. Unless you know a certain large Swedish... Sorry, can't reveal any more.

Last point on my agenda: you might have noticed that the features on my sidebar change a lot right now. I am experimenting, and hope that all is nice and how I want it pretty soon. Unfortunately I am no HTML genius and totally incapable of creating my own widgets, and Blogger is not exactly widget paradise, (although I am pretty happy whit it otherwise) and moving to another provider just is to much fuss. Right now. Well, for a long time.

"What Is This" Sunday

Many people do weekly little things on their blog to entertain, there is for example Jinx's WIP of Doom, and others, see Ysolda, have Eye Candy Friday, Rosie-Kim has Thursdays Are For What The Hell Is This just to name a few varieties. The above named do also shine with knitting content, and that of course is the ideal case.

Well, I want something like that too. Might it be the desperation as I can't show my current FO's online as I am a good Christmas knitter (that is going to be some photo heavy post after the Holidays...) or might it be the wish to entertain considering how much fun this could be: that is up for personal interpretation.

But no matter my motivation: I have decided to put my love for the 'macro' setting on my camera to good use, and ask you all once a week: What is this? In the ideal case there should be a few replies in comments, and although there is no prices to be won fame and honor can be gained. So to speak. Well, just do it for the fun, will ya!
Her it comes, the very first...

What Is This?

I hope this does not go down as badly as my occasional polls...
