Tea Across the Time Zones

Not every day is filled with the sun. When the days are gray, I'm likely to turn to yarn. I can curl up and crochet, a hot cup of tea beside me. (Yes, I do have various caffeine sources. I'm guessing regular readers are not surprised.) 

While I sip tea, my little tea poppet joins me and brings a little bit of magic to the affair. You see, a while back I sent an identical tea poppet to my friend, Rachael who lives almost 8400 miles away in Australia. Now we can enjoy tea time together, linked by poppets and our overly active imaginations. Rachael is never surprised by my crazy ideas and I'm lucky to have her as a friend.
Today, while having tea, I finished off a scarf.  I modified this pattern to make it narrower. The yarn is Stitch Nation Full 'o Sheep which makes it nice and warm with a comforting heaviness. And the colors...they'll brighten any day.

Have a Happy Friday, everyone!  Enjoy these last few days of March.
