These are the fruits of our first local yarn shop trip in Reykjavík - two skeins of gorgeous silk laceweight in an icy blue, and these three little wooden mouse buttons. Sometimes I swear I'm still a six year old girl, because certain types of cute - usually small rodents and fish - make my brain start squeaking and flapping its arms up and down with excitement.
We've had a rather quiet last couple of days. I haven't been sleeping well, and Tuesday the insomnia finally turned into my first migraine ever. (Note to self: in the future, bring NSAIDs to foreign countries!)

We're going back to the US tomorrow afternoon, and although we've had a great time, I'm also very ready to sleep like a normal human being in my own bed, cuddle with Mr. Mackie, and get back to work at school. I have been soothing my growing homesickness with pictures of my favorite tiny person:

And luckily, I will be seeing his face in person tomorrow. Yay!
