Mother's Day Gift Guide 2013
Mother's Day Gift Guide: Editors' Picks
From little luxuries to splurges—perfume to notecards, jewelry to furnishings—make her Mother's Day memorable with these fab items chosen by our editors as gifts they'd love to give (or receive).
How could we start with anything other than our very own Traditional Home Editors' Choice Arrangement Our Executive Editor Marsha Raisch—who oversees our Classic Woman Awards program that honors outstanding volunteers—loves it not only for its beauty and fragrance but also because a portion of the proceeds go to CARE, which works with mothers and children to find lasting solutions to poverty. With 14 stems of peach roses, peach Asiatic lilies, white hydrangeas, and Queen Anne's lace, it is priced at $79.99.
Forget Me Knots
Senior Art and Antiques Editor Doris Athineos's good eye is evident in her choice of this Knotted Necklace, $90, from Alabama Chanin. Made from organic cotton, it's knotted by hand and slipped through a sterling silver charm.
Let's Dish
Having recently gone to Paris, our Senior Architecture Editor, Amy Elbert is enamored with anything French. She has a weakness for little dishes, and would enjoy serving treats on these sweet French Dessert Dishes from European Market—two say "amour," two say "amite"—for $95.
Colorful Caffeination
If your mom is a livewire (like Assistant Style Editor Clara Haneberg's is), get her day off to an energetic and stylish start with this emphatically green Bistro Electric French Press coffeemaker, $60. (It also comes in white, green, and black.)
Tcho Good!
Slideshow Producer Lucy Fitzgerald tried Tcho chocolates when in Napa Valley with her mom and sis for a girls' trip. "They're made from the best natural resources in Africa and South America, and the company works hard to maintain a close relationship with their farmers. Not only is the chocolate delicious, innovative, and ethically conscious, but they remind me of the fun memories we share from our wine country weekend," Lucy says. She recommends the Spring Magnolia Gift Tub with insanely rich dark chocolate bars, $29.95.
With a Songbird in her Heart
She'll love sipping morning brew or afternoon tea out of these English Songbird Mugs, $85 for a set of four from European Market. They were selected by Features Editor Rebecca Christian, who likes to watch birds. Made of English bone china, they are dishwasher and microwave safe.
Presentation is Everything
Because Senior Style Editor Krissa Rossbund's mom is the queen of presentation when it comes to giving gifts, Krissa knows these personalized Lobird gift tags, from $28, will make a hit.
Romantic Chapeau
Get mom ready for her Mother's Day close-up in Petra's Derby Hat, selected by Research Editor Jan Currie for its swoops and curves that change with every angle and its romantic silk and velvet cabbage rose, $360 from J. Peterman.
Luxurious Letterpress
Senior Design and Markets Editor Tori Mellott (mother of twins!) loves a little luxury, so she'd be thrilled to receive ultra-luxurious monogrammed letterpressed notecards made with paper from one of the oldest mills in Italy. From Taigan, $1,164 .
Stylish Stash
Assistant Style Editor Clara Haneberg chose a J. Crew Farmer's Market Tote, that would have looked as great in 1953 as it does in 2013 and will in 2063. She says, "This lightweight straw tote has plenty of storage space for stashing coupons, to-do lists, makeup, and everything else my busy mom might need!"
Is That Your Finial Answer?
When Research Editor Jan Currie's son, Drew, was in middle school, he became interested in stones, and Jan along with him. For Drew it was a passing fancy, for Jan the love of her life. She likes the interesting pattern of this Rock N' Rolla Careless Whisper Lamp Finial by Hillary Thomas Designs through Layla Grayce, $50. Are you paying attention, Drew?
Public Display of Affection
Markets Assistant Mimi Faucett recommends this sleek Parrot DIA Digital Frame, which stores up to 1,500 pictures, for helping mom organize her precious memories. "Typically," Mimi says, "digital frames have to be connected to a camera or memory card in order to display images. This one is amazing because my photos can wirelessly display on the frame no matter where I am or what device I use. Great for a New York City gal like myself to keep my Mississippi mama in the loop." Photos can be transferred via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth enabled device, USB, SD/MMC card slot, and integrated online services (Frame Channel, Frame It, and Mobile Me). $499 from the Museum of Modern Art.
Real Estate
Features Editor Rebecca Christian always feels protected when wearing a piece of jewelry that was her mother's or grandmother's, so she loved learning that the genesis of Carolyn O'Keefe's American Estate Jewelry company was Carolyn's memory of her mother always wearing very little jewelry except her great-grandmother's signature cuff. Cherry Blossom Cuff with Pink Tourmalines, $780.
Mother's Whistler
"After a few trips to London," Markets and Social Media Editor Kari Costas says, "my mother has become a fan of English Breakfast tea. This copper kettle, is classic, timeless, and cheerful (it "sings" instead of whistling!), an heirloom that she might be tempted to pass onto her daughter someday! $165 from Sur La Table.
Amazing Grace
Our Markets Assistant Mimi Faucett says of the model and muse's new book , "Grace Coddington's memoir, is not only filled with colorful insight into her work as Creative Director for Vogue, but also each page is laced with charming illustrations by Grace herself. And it'll look great on mom's coffee table!" $20 (Random House, 2013).
In a Jam
Kim Callahan, editorial office coordinator, says her mother loves tea and toast, so she's sweet on Sarabeth's Gift Sampler Box of preserves, $30. (We sampled all 6 flavors at the office and declared a draw between Plum Cherry and Strawberry Raspberry).
Mom, You Rock!
Senior Art and Antiques Editor Doris Athineos loves this Classic Rock Ring :"Designed to dazzle by Silpada, this sterling silver ring is inlaid with abalone shell (the kind of bling Hollywood legend Tony Duquette would have loved). Made of abalone, glass and steriling silver, $104.
Monogram for Mom
"I know my monogram-loving mom would proudly display this plate in her office," Assistant Style Editor Clara Haneberg says of the Monogram Geo Plate from C Wonder), $38.
Out of the Box
"I bought this Redwoods Cologne, $48, for my mother because she loves natural, earthy musks like patchouli and pine," says Slideshow Producer Lucy Fitzgerald, "which are more common in men's cologne. She adores the fresh aroma, and uses it to spritz the bed linens or an outfit for a light fragrance that is a bit out-of-the-box."
Fit For A Queen
Senior Art and Antiques Editor Doris Athineos loves metalsmith Elizabeth Thompson's fresh, edgy take on a royal theme—crowns—in this Crown Ring, from $175. Doris notes that Elizabeth named her studio after her grandmother, Elizabeth Knight.
Learning Calligraphy
Because her mother has perfect penmanship and loves sending and receiving pretty cards, Features Editor Rebecca Christian is sure to please her with the handsome and instructive new book Mastering Calligraphy: The Complete Guide to Hand Lettering, by Gaye Godfrey-Nicholls (Chronicle Books, 2013) $38.
Signature Cuff
Assistant Style Editor Clara Haneberg is a pro at the art of accessorizing. She learned at the elbow (make that wrist) of a master, her mom, whom she thinks would love this bold Sage Cuff from Voguevert, made of reclaimed metal with gold patina, $209.
It's a Scarf, It's a Belt, It's a Shawl
Senior Architecture Editor Amy Elbert was recently snapped on the street by a style blogger, and we can see why. She inherited her fashion sense from her late mom, Frances Craig, a feature writer who lit up the newsroom with her style. Amy, who likes orange, would love to receive this German Summer Flowers Scarf from European Market, $125, modal, linen and silk. Its 29 by 80-inch size permits mom to drape it around her shoulders or tie it around her waist.
Pretty in Pink
Features Editor Rebecca Christian can just see her voracious reader mom with a book propped up on this pretty Sherbet Stripes Throw Pillow $29, from the Land of Nod.
Puddle Splashing
Don't you love those spring showers that the sun shines through? Research Editor Jan Currie selected these sprightly, intricately patterned Spring Boots to help mom get ready for puddle-jumping with the kids. $59 from J. Peterman.
"My sister is a working mom with two very, very energetic toddlers," says Markets and Social Media Editor Kari Costas, "and so she rarely has time to pamper herself. I'd treat her to a day at the spa and send her home with these Claus Porto soaps, which are beyond luxurious and creamy, and, when not in use, would look lovely sitting on her marble vanity." $55 from Claus Porto.
Making Scents
Because her mother enjoys using fragrances throughout her home, Editorial Office Coordinator Kim Callahan thinks The des Lords Scented Candle with its elegant blend of bergamot and delicate citrus notes, is sure to please. It's one in a collection of tea-scented candles made by the Parisian tea specialist Le Palais des Thes, $45.
Bowled Over
Markets Assistant Mimi Faucett selected this terra-cotta Sintra bowl. She says, "This bowl is huge in person and the color is perfect for spring. Mom's always creating centerpieces on the table and uses anything and everything—fruit, veggies, and flowers in trays, stands, and bowls. This one is sure to make a statement on the table." $114, from Canvas.
Enchanting Topiary
This Olive Plant Topiary from Viva Terra, $49, is on Senior Architecture Editor Amy Elbert's wish list: "I'm enchanted with topiaries and this one is darling in its little jug planter. It would be perfect in the sunny east-facing window in my mudroom. (I hope the cats won't nibble it!)."
Lolling in Style
Senior Style Editor Krissa Rossbund can just picture her mom cozied up with this linen Lolling in Hyde Park Pillow,$185, on the big comfy ivory chair where she reads the newspaper every morning.
Color Her Stylish
Assistant Style Editor Clara Haneberg, always game to take a spin on the color wheel, chose this Kate Spade Pop Art Scarf for her mom "because it would look great paired with her hot pink kitten heels." Kate Spade, $128.
Features Editor Rebecca Christian so much loves Penny Vincenzi's sweeping, overwrought, and very British trilogy—which follows the fictional Lytton publishing family dynasty from the Edwardian age to the sixties—that she's given it both to her mom and daughter, who blame her for resultant sleepless nights. The first book in the trilogy is No Angel, the second is Something Dangerous and the third is Into Temptation. $15 in paperback from Amazon.com.
Brag Pad
"My mom can't get enough pictures of her grandchildren. I know she'd love seeing their smiling faces while she's jotting her grocery list on this Stacy Claire Boyd Photo Pad," says Editorial Office Coordinator Kim Callahan. $38 from Paper Fancy.
Remember all those thank-you notes Mom made you write? Help her keep the art of letter writing alive with these personalized Chinoiserie Foldover Notecards, selected by Features Editor Rebecca Christian, who saves letters just for the pleasure of seeing something written in a loved one's hand. 25 for $52.99 from Paper Fancy.
Mother's Little Helper
Markets and Social Media Editor Kari Costas says, "My mother and I share an addiction to organizers and planners; so for Christmas last year I gave her a Smythson datebook, and it's been practically glued to her side. In fact, I think she still carries it around, because in addition to the calendar, there are tons of maps, information, and fun little tidbits inside. For Mother's Day, I'd get her this upgraded version, the Soho Diary with Slide, with a glossy crocodile print in a rich blue hue, and get it stamped with her initials." $390 from Smythson.
Glow, Mom, Glow!
There's nothing Senior Style Editor Krissa Rossbund's mother loves more than gathering the extended family for a convivial meal. These Vela Candlesticks from Rablabs will cast a glow. Hand-polished to bring out the natural beauty of the stone, no two are alike. $128 per pair.
Go-To Bag
Beach, Farmer's Market, Sunday jaunt—Features Editor Rebecca Christian loves taking Marcia Sherrill's Anabelle bags wherever she goes, especially if the grandkids are along, because they're stylish but roomy enough to hold toys, crackers, juice boxes, and other grandmotherly necessities. They come in a rainbow of colors and a range of sizes, colors, patterns and finishes, starting at $22.
Tweet This!
Our Senior Architecture Editor Amy Elbert knows her way around a kitchen, having written about dozens of them for us. She loves a fun kitchen accessory, and has treated her sister to this colorful, whimsical and absorbent British Tweet Towel from European Market, $16.
Perfect Perch
Because it is elegant and ladylike—like her mom—Krissa Rossbund thinks this Pal + Smith Vivienne Bench would make a perfect perch. To the trade.
A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose
Every year we offer a new Classic Woman Rose as a tribute to the outstanding women we honor for their volunteerism in our Classic Woman Awards program. This one is an apricot hybrid tea rose with large blooms and great fragrance, $29.99, from White Flower Farm.
A Mother's Day Gathering
Still looking for Mother's Day ideas? Here's how to throw a fun but formal Mother's Day Lunch at which children are welcome.
The Sidecar, price available upon request from Moore & Giles [1-800-737-0169]
This beautifully crafted bar cart, The Sidecar by Moore and Giles, is a great way to store liquor, glassware, bar tools, and anything else needed to complete your own miniature bar. The cart, made of Virginia black walnut, birch, leather, aluminum, and brass, is wheeled to make sure the party can travel with you. Perfect for drink-lovers without the space for a full bar.

Indie music fans are on pins and needles, waiting for the official 2013 Firefly Festival line-up. Rumors are circulating now that the announcement is just days away that recent Grammy nominated acts will perform in Dover.
Red Frog events, the company behind the Firefly Festival, launched its 2013 festival website Tuesday with a sudden announcement on the social media sites Facebook and Twitter.
Fans quickly clamored online, hopeful for a look at this year's line-up. Those hopes were dashed, though, as only a countdown clock was posted, indicating that the line-up will be announced first thing Tuesday morning.
However, USA Today posted an article at 10:19 a.m. this morning stating that the secret is out for at least two acts: The Lumineers and Vampire Weekend.
Vampire Weekend, formed in 2006 while its members were studying at Columbia University. The band's self-titled 2008 debut spread like wildfire and produced three radio singles, including "Marsard Rood," "A-Punk" and "Oxford Comma." Their music has a distinct sound and lyrical references worthy of their ivy league educations.
In 2010, Vampire Weekend released their sophomore album, "Contra," which was nominated for a Grammy for "Best Alternative Music Album" but lost out to Firefly alum The Black Keys.
The band's third album, "Modern Vampires in the City" is slated for release sometime this year.
The Lumineers have been a tour-de-force this year with their hit song, "Ho Hey." The band was also nominated for two Grammy Awards: one for best new artist and another for best Americana album.
This year's festival will take place on the property of the Dover International Speedway, renamed by the festival as "The Woodlands" from Friday, June 21 through Sunday, June 23.
Tickets will then go on sale Thursday, Feb. 21 at 12 p.m. EST.

For me, a weekend in New York City starts as soon as I jump in a cab and head to the airport. No matter how well I plan or pack, I'm always a mess until I board the plane. That's why the comfy leather arm chairs and complimentary cappuccinos and WiFi in the Porter lounge are equivalent to the zen of a yoga class. From Newark airport, I sometimes take a $60 cab into Manhattan, but there's also a New Jersey Transit train for $12.
There are many good hotels in New York. But if for those who love classic style with Parisian flair, there's The NoMad Hotel (thenomadhotel.com), located north of Madison Square Park at Broadway and 28th. The fully restored Beaux-Arts building with interiors by French designer Jacques Garcia feels like a home away from home because of elements such as the original and eclectic art, reclaimed hardwood floors and Pashmina throw at the foot of the bed. I also appreciate details like the separate water closet and heavenly king-sized bed dressed in Frette linens.
New York is all about the new and the classic. But, as much as I love seeing what's new, I always start with what's familiar. As soon as I fill my belly at Westville (Westvillenyc.com) where the food is simple and fresh, I walk to the High Line (thehighline.org) a public park filled with perennial gardens and built on an historic freight-rail line above the streets of the city's west side. Recently, the High Line was extended to 34th between 10th and 11th. I like to get off at 16th Street and pop into the Chelsea Market (chelseamarket.com) for a green juice from the raw foods bar One Lucky Duck (oneluckyduck.com). Don't worry if you're not a raw foodist, the Chelsea market (chelseamarket.com) is home to countless restaurants, bakeries, specialty shops, fantastic sample sales, and my favourite New York chocolate shop, Jacques Torres (mrchocolate.com). If you want to feel like you're Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, head to the Hudson Square location.
From the market, I walk to Bleecker Street and meander through the West Village. It's become a little commercial but still has tree-lined charm and plenty of boutique shops.
From the West Village, I continue on to SoHo where there are a multitude of design stores for modernists and traditionalists alike. I never leave New York without visiting Thomas O'Brien's home boutique Aero (aerostudios.com). Design junkies will love his hand-picked collection of tabletop goods, accessories and refurbished vintage lighting and furniture; think antique brass, nailhead detailing and fine woods.
Next door, the Calypso Home St. Barth shop (calypsostbarth.com) brings Frenchinspired island living to the city, offering raw-wood case goods, linen upholstery, blockprinted metallic pillows and elegant light fixtures.
New to SoHo is lifestyle flagship store C Wonder (cwonder.com). It's filled with bright colours, au courant patterns, and well-priced clothing, accessories and home decor. The five destination-inspired styles for the home - Palm Springs Modern, Hollywood Rengency, English Townhouse, Vail Cabin and American dream - are geared to "charming, chic and cheerful women who are ready for something wonderful to happen." I made a large set of wonderful ikat-patterned orange-and-white porcelain bowls happen within 30 seconds of walking through C Wonder's giant green doors.
And, while I love boutiques, I always make my way to Bergdorf Goodman (bergdorfgoodman.com) on Fifth Avenue. Bergdorf's top floor is filled with unique and exclusive decor finds and is one of the best curated home sections of any department store.
When it comes to restaurants in New York, I ashamedly admit I am a spoiled brat. If the decor stinks, or the restaurant looks iffy, or doesn't have a healthy menu option, I will leave. If you're looking for a bustling scene, Balthazar (balthazarny.com) is a classic downtown hotspot. The design of the large and airy French bistro makes me feel like I'm in a Paris brasserie. The service is excellent; plus, I love a place where I can drink a glass of Beaujolais the size of my head.
Italian taverna Locanda Verde (locandaverdenyc.com) in Tribeca has piles of style, boasting high ceilings and tall French windows. The mood is casual. The food is rustic and delicious; and the desserts are divine, especially the Chocolate Budino. Last, Café Cluny (cafecluny.com), located on a cobblestone corner in the West Village is a quiet and cozy place to have tea (or wine) and dessert after a long day of shopping.
My final destination and reason for going to Manhattan is the Kips Bay Decorator Show House (open until June 14; kipsbaydecoratorshowhouse.org). I go every year and this year did not disappoint. The incredible work of design greats such as Thom Filicia, Jamie Drake, Bunny Williams and Charlotte Moss (and many more) make my heart skip a beat in every room. A tour of the Kips Bay Show House is like walking through 30 pages of the best decorating magazine on newsstands, sans advertising, and only in New York.

Politicians who hold their offices for long periods are skilled in nothing if not intuiting which way the political winds are blowing. In the aftermath of November's election, when Hispanic voters made their collective presence and opinion known far and wide, it is no surprise that yesterday's immigration hardliners are today's supporters of comprehensive reform that provides a "path to citizenship" for those who would like to make the United States their permanent home. Regardless of the factors prompting this shift, the change is welcome and long overdue.
Comprising 10 percent of the electorate in 2012, Latino voters were a significant factor in President Barack Obama's re-election, whom they favored 71 percent to 27 percent for Mitt Romney. Those numbers got the attention of Congress, whose members were also affected by Latino voters. While immigration is not the sole concern of Latino voters, it is an important one and lawmakers' - primarily formerly reluctant Republicans - newfound interest in a far-reaching immigration reform package reflects just how important an issue it is.
The bipartisan posse of senators taking the lead on a reform proposal, including Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., has crafted a thorough package that combines increased border security and visa monitoring to minimize illegal entry or overstayed visits to the country with a series of steps immigrants can take to become legal citizens. These steps are tiered to provide expedited citizenship for those who were brought to the United States as children or to be farm workers, as well as those who have earned advanced degrees in desirable fields such as science, technology and engineering from American institutions. A third leg of the reform package would put U.S. employers on the hook to verify their workers' legal status and penalize those who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants.
There is much to like in the comprehensive proposal, but the statement that its existence alone makes is perhaps its greatest value. It has brought together lawmakers who have held conflicting positions - with themselves, each other and their constituents - and who now have found common ground. There is no small amount of political opportunism at work, but in this case that is beside the point. A comprehensive reform of the United States' immigration system has been the right thing to do for a long time, and lawmakers now see they have the capital to spend on such an effort.
The work will not necessarily be easy. While Obama has indicated support for the senators' plan and pitched a similar one of his own, the House is another story. Tea party power has waned there, but it is still a force to consider. The extent to which it affects the immigration debate reflects, at this point, little more than the level of thinly veiled racism that exists among those members and their supporters. In the meantime, a more mature debate can take place over how best to structure the United States' policies to reflect the country's status as a land of economic and educational opportunity - a status that benefits the United States as much or more than those who seek to become its citizens.
The Gang of Eight - name notwithstanding - has commanded respect for its bold but reasoned immigration proposal. The plan deserves healthy debate and expedient action.

Now that the politicians can crawl back into the woodwork for another 44 months, and with their mudslinging having teetered on libel and slander, it should be made law that they prove what they are alleging.
I fail to see how a voter could make an intelligent decision about a candidate — or do voters just believe them because the candidates are of the same party?
The ads I especially liked involved state attorney general candidate Kathleen Kane's claiming she tried 3,000 cases. That number even came out of the mouth of former President Bill Clinton, who campaigned on her behalf.
Meanwhile, the opposition claimed she tried only 25 cases, none in the past five years.
That's a difference of 2,975 cases.
One of the two candidates for that office was a liar.
I challenge readers to write letters informing others about which politician made their life better or put more money in their pocket.
The only job that concerns politicians is the one for which they are running. Until they find a way to build plants that employ a few thousand people for jobs paying $25 an hour, the so-called middle class can't put money back into the economy.
We should have listened to Ross Perot, who said without industry the economy is doomed.

Come experience a weekend of your favorite showstoppers as the Song of the Prairie A Cappella Show Chorus presents "Barbershop on Broadway."
Come experience a weekend of your favorite showstoppers as the Song of the Prairie A Cappella Show Chorus presents "Barbershop on Broadway." Two performances will be given. An evening show is scheduled for Saturday, October 26 at 7:00 p.m. at the United Church of Christ in Granite Falls, and a matinee is scheduled the following day, Sunday, October 27, at 2:00 p.m. at Tracy Lutheran Church in Tracy. Chorus director Donovan Hanson is preparing the chorus for its first big show since he joined the group a year ago. Shortly after moving to Tracy to take a position teaching elementary music, he received a phone call inquiring about his interest in directing the chorus. After an initial meeting with a handful of chorus members and a rehearsal or two, he realized it was an opportunity he just couldn't pass up. "The chorus members like to joke that they're not much different from kindergarteners when it comes to attention span," said Hanson. "But they definitely have a different sound! Each of these ladies brings everything they have to the group every single week when we rehearse. They work hard, they know their craft, and they have endless fun doing it. What more could I possibly want?" In case one is not familiar with Song of the Prairie, the group has been an officially chartered chapter of Sweet Adelines International since 2006, though it has roots that go back much further. However, with this particular pair of concerts, the typical barbershop melodies have been left behind in favor of a set completely comprised of show tunes. A wide array of musical theatre is represented, from 42nd Street to Guys and Dolls, from The Music Man to Cats, and even from The Wizard of Oz to Mary Poppins. The entire show is tied together with jokes and brief bits of narration that take audience members on a journey down Broadway through the years. In addition to the rollicking show tunes and dreamy ballads presented by the full chorus, each show will also feature a performance by local quartet Popular Demand. These talented women are all former members of Song of the Prairie, and they bring their enthusiasm and ability to a wide and always appreciative audience. Tickets for each performance are available at the door for $10 each. Tickets may also be purchased in advance at a reduced rate of $8. Advance tickets are available at the K.K. Berge Building in Granite Falls, at the MAFAC Art Gallery in Marshall, at Food Pride in Tracy, or from any chorus member.

|One of the most popular recipes on the site, this no-stir chicken and dumpling casserole, made with self rising flour, cream soup, and chicken broth, is reminiscent of the flavor of the real deal, but in an easy casserole form.
Chicken and Dumpling Casserole
While the name may be the same, this version is of course, a casserole, and not technically exactly like good ole old fashioned chicken and dumplings. To me, however, it provides a consistency and flavor similar to the more labor-intensive homemade version, but in a super-easy form, especially if you are using leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. If you are cooking fresh chicken, especially if you are using boneless, skinless chicken you want to just slightly under cook it when you poach it, since it will essentially continue cooking in the oven.
You'll note that there is very purposely no salt included in this recipe. That's because between the cream of chicken soup and the chicken stock, there is really plenty of salt to flavor the dish, so don't add any to the recipe until you taste it. When substituting rotisserie chicken, they are usually very highly salted, so keep that in mind with other ingredients that you use containing salt - chicken broth, cream soup and bouillon if using that with water. I also prefer to use the original "made for cooking" cream soup, so if you substitute a lower fat cream soup, your results will differ. I find that they make casseroles watery.
When using the original cream soups, I also don't find it to need any other seasonings either, but certainly add any of your favorites that you like either in the casserole or in the broth if you're adding in vegetables. Some suggestions are poultry seasoning, dried thyme and/or dried sage. To make a chicken pot pie casserole, add in some veggies - frozen, thawed, canned, drained or fresh that you first blanch to start the cooking process.
I generally prefer mixed chicken in most chicken casseroles, but I'm still working through an abundance of chicken breasts from my freezer, so that's what I used for this post. Use whatever you have. This casserole is a great family pleaser - hope you give it a try.
Here's how to make it!
First things first, if you're using raw chicken, you'll need to bring 2-1/2 cups of chicken stock to a boil. If you're using a rotisserie chicken or precooked chicken you'll skip these first few steps of course, and don't forget... those chickens are usually very salty, so keep that in mind with other ingredients you are using such as the cream soup and broth and use lower sodium products when using a rotisserie chicken.
Add the chicken breasts (or whatever pieces you are using) to the stock, bring back up to a boil, cover, reduce to simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove chicken and set aside to cool. Reserve the stock - you'll need it in a second.
Melt 1/2 a stick of butter and pour into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
When the chicken has cooled down, shred it. I usually use two forks to do this.
Spread the chicken on top of the butter in the baking pan.
Combine 1 cup of milk with 1 cup of self-rising flour. You can also substitute regular all purpose flour - simply add in 1-1/4 teaspoons of baking powder plus 1/8 teaspoon of salt and whisk that together before mixing with the milk. Some folks are substituting an equal amount of baking mix like Bisquick for the self rising flour, with no other adjustments. I have also seen this recipe made for the 9 x 13 inch pan, but doubling the butter, flour (or Bisquick) and milk. I assume this is done to stretch the casserole, but when I gave it a spin to test it, I found that because the casserole was so thick, I had to add quite a bit of extra cooking time, so much so that the bottom burned and it did not give me the same result. If you want to double it, I recommend baking two separate 9 x 13 inch pans 9 instead.
Whisk the milk and flour together.
Pour the flour mixture very slowly over the chicken so not to move the chicken around.
Don't stir!
Now strain the chicken stock that you used to cook the chicken in. You need 2 cups, so add chicken broth to this if needed to bring it up to 2 cups.
Add the cream of chicken soup to that. This, as all casseroles, works best with the original cream soup concentrates, rather than the green label version such as Healthy Request lower fat, which tend to make it watery.
Whisk the broth and soup together until it's well blended.
Pour that very slowly and carefully over the flour and milk mixture.
Again, do not stir!
Bake at 400 degrees F about 35 to 45 minutes or until top begins to brown. Remember all ovens vary in hot spots and temperature fluctuations so your time may be different.
Allow the casserole to rest and settle before serving.

Recipe: Chicken and Dumpling Casserole©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 45 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 3-4 cups of cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of self-rising flour (see note)
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 cups of chicken stock/broth (low sodium is best)
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can of original condensed cream of chicken soup
If you are using fresh, raw chicken, please see cook's notes at the bottom of the recipe. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 1/2 stick of butter and pour into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Shred the chicken and spread it on top of the butter. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and the flour and slowly pour that over the chicken taking care not to disturb the chicken too much. Do not stir. Whisk together the chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup. Slowly pour that over the flour and milk mixture. Do not stir.
Bake uncovered at 400 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until top is light golden brown. All ovens vary. Let casserole rest before serving.
Cooks Notes: Use fresh self-rising flour, otherwise, to substitute all purpose flour, use 1 cup of flour and add 1-1/4 teaspoon of baking powder plus 1/8 teaspoons of salt. Leftovers reheat nicely, but casserole does not freeze well. Use rotisserie chicken, leftover precooked chicken, canned chicken or 3 to 5 pieces of raw chicken - chicken breasts, mixed chicken parts. When using other sources of chicken other than freshly cooked, such as canned or a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, they are already fairly salty, so keep that in mind with the other products you are using containing sodium (broth, soup).
Doubling: I do not recommend doubling the ingredients for a single 9 x 13 inch pan. I gave it a spin to test it, and found that because the casserole was so thick, I had to add quite a bit of extra cooking time, so much so, that the bottom burned and it did not give me the same result. If you want to double it, I recommend baking two separate 9 x 13 inch pans 9 instead on doubling in one pan.
How to Poach Raw Chicken: Heat 3 to 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts and 2-1/2 cups of chicken broth or stock in a medium sized saucepan. Cook on a low simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is mostly done. It will finish cooking in the oven. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool but reserve the broth from the saucepan. Once cooled, chop or shred. May also use water and bouillon in place of the broth.
Chicken Pot Pie Casserole: Make this an all-in-one meal by adding drained canned mixed veggies, or cooked/steamed frozen or fresh veggies. Cook 2 sliced carrots, 2 sliced celery stalks, a diced potato and a chopped onion, in about 3 cups of chicken broth. If using water and bouillon, may season the water with bay leaf, herbs or other non-salt seasonings. When the veggies are tender, drain but reserve the broth. Put the veggies on top of the shredded chicken and add about 1-1/2 cups of frozen peas. Finished as above, using the reserved broth from the veggies.

Rain that froze when it hit cold road surfaces caused numerous accidents and forced the closing of Route 422 near Butler.
The number of crashes taxed police and fire departments as they tried to get to accident scenes. In at least one case, an ambulance en route to a call had to cancel because it was stuck on Route 422 because of the ice.

It all began in 1997 when Denver came-out of the wild card round and went to the SB.
Since then, 15 years later the trend continues with 10 teams from the wild card round - non bye teams - making the SB.
In each of those seasons a team from the wild card round improved their game considerably in the playoffs and this looks erriely similar to the Ravens as Flacco is the highest rated QB in the playoffs.
Seems to be the prevailing trend these days with teams from the wild card round, I know one thing, I won't bet against.this trend and will likely pass on this game.
Those 10 teams from the wild card round in the SB................................10-0 ATS and 7-3 SU.
Can't go against this trend.....................................................
Because of this trend I've done some additional research and found that playoff only power ratings works well..............................
Based on playoffs only my power ratings line would be Ravens -3.
Ravens are definately playing better throughout the playoffs and look very similar to past teams from the wild card round.
Last season playoffs only had the Gaints favored over Pats, 2 years ago, Packers over Pitt.
More later.........................................................
Playoff Numbers
I really would not read to much into the system above as it has been proven to not be that accurate in the past. I have ran several numbers and definately have some questions.
The sample size is small....I guess you would have to ask yourself who played the stronger teams in the playoffs?
Either way Baltimore is on fire right now, but have they really played any competition? NE and Indy's D is proven to be bad. Everyone also said Denver, NE and Indy played a very weak schedule....
Did Atlanta and Green Bay play a weak schedule? We all know that SF played a much tougher schedule during the season, but I tend to lean on the idea of the playoffs are a new season.
I am definately concerned with the kicking game of SF and moderately concerned about the young QB, Kap. Even though Kap has had several games to implode this year, but he has proven himself everytime.... NO, NE, GB, ATL.....he could have easily buckled in everyone of these games. NO away, NE away, GB pick 6, and ATL down big......each time he did not falter. Another concern is SF vs great defenses, they struggled with Seattle and St. Louis.
I am leaning SF, I just think overall they are a better football TEAM with a very good defense. Just a few thoughts.....
Free agency which began in 1993, there's evidence that it seems to have weaken the better teams.
Just 2 short years later in 1995 and the higher seeds could no longer cover the spread in the SB.
4 years later is when teams from the wild card round began their assult on the SB, as I posted above.
In the 17 SB's since 1995 just 2 higher seeded teams have covered the spread, and one of those was 2004 no.1 seed Eagles who happen to be a 7 pt dog to the no.2 seeded Pats.
That leaves just 1 higher seeded team (the 98 Broncos covering as a no.1 seed against no.2 seeded Falcons) to cover the line as a favorite since 1995, wow................................................
I'm on to some other playoffs only research involving the teams from the wild card round, it's early, but it's impressive thus far, and the early indication is................................it's all Ravens on SB sunday......................................
The info called the Gaints out-right win over the 2007 16-0 Pats juggernuat.
More on that later............................................
49ers -4 over Falcons --- 4.4 units to win 4 units
I'd side with the under coming in at least one of the two games but may not take any action here.
Good Luck Gents and enjoy the great games today....................................
This game shows the importance of getting the best available line, 3.5 was available at the time I got this but not available to me, as a number of books did close on 3.5.
I did take the 9ers in the NFL contest on the site and got 3.5 to pick-up the win.
Mypower ratings were 5-2 ATS in all games coming into championship sunday, I suppose best case they would be 6-2, worst case 5-2, as the Pats/Ravens game fell right on my line.
All-in-all pretty decent showing for my power ratings.
Largest value mismatches each week went either 1-1-1 or 2-1 depending on how one got the 49ers spread. It won again as I suggested it would with the largest play being on Seattle +3 over Falcons.
RGIII's injury will haunt me forever, I was quite sure they would cover against Seahawks as my ratings most undervalued team of 2012, to see him limping around the field the way he did leaves a hallow feeling on the year for me.
One of the championship games did go under as I suspected.
NFL Playoffs to Date --- 2-2-1 ATS --- Won 4.4 units
Basically, you need to figure-out how much each "key stat battle" contributes to the final score.
Key stat battles are those stats which have a high correlation to winning games, the larger a team wins these battles the more often and the larger margin they will win the game.
To do this reguires digging into many boxscores and playing around with it to determine the value of each key stat battle.
If I was a computer guru I could easily do 5000 or 10,000 boxscores, but since I'm not, a calculator and alot of work is reguired.
Because of the success I've had with this method I'm now working on a different version of this.
Example, QB Passer rating has about a 80% correlation to winning.
By breaking-down many boxscores I've determined that QBPR contributes about .24 pts to the final score for each point a team outplays it's opponent.
So a team winning this battle 100-90 or by 10 pts, that 10 pt win in the QBPR contributes 2.4 pts to the final margin of the game.
Add-up all the battles and you have about what the final score should have been based on those battles.
Using this new version, Green Bay should of beat Vikes by 16.91 pts, they won by 14 therefore they gain 2.91 pts of value, which isn't much, the final score was indicative of how much Packers out-played the VIKES.
My orginal method had it GB by 15.56.
Houston pretty much out-played the Bengals by a larger amount than GB out-played Vikes.
Texans won the key stat battles by 17.21 pts, gaining a whopping 11.02 pts of value.
My orginal method had it 17.02.
This bodes well for the Texans next week as teams out-playing the final score by such huge amounts do well the next week.
This info gives me a huge advantage over the masses that think Houston did not play that well and gives good value on backing the Texans this week...........................................................................
My new version did lose the Texans next game VS Pats but did do well overall in the playoffs.
I just develop this during the season and tried it the first time this playoffs, and it did quite well.
Largest value mismatches going 2-1 ATS
Power ratings with a 6 pt diff to the line 1-0 ATS.
Overvalued/undervalued teams off their most recent games as the Texans example was 2-1 ATS. Losing with the Texans but winning twice with the Ravens.
Ravens beat Colts by 26.34 pts or 11.34 more than the final score according to the method which gives the Ravens 11.34 pts of value and backs the Ravens the next game.
Ravens beat Broncos by 16.6 pts or 13.6 pts more than the final score, again Ravens recieve huge value pts and backs Ravens against the Pats.
In other words, this tells us the Ravens play on the field is far better than the look.
Based on this method in the playoffs only ..........................................
Ravens +19.96, - 49ers +11.16
Line on the SB - Ravens -8.8
As of now I've research 2 other years involving unlikely teams from the wild card round.
2007 Pats 11.34, Gaints 15.14
SB line Gaints - 3.8
2008 Pitt 14.93, Zona 20.09
SB line Zona -5.16
If not for the flukest pick-six on the last play of the first half very possible Zona wins outright.
More to come........................................................
Ravens beat Broncos by 16.6 pts or 13.6 pts more than the final score, again Ravens recieve huge value pts and backs Ravens against the Pats.
oh boy! be glad i just don't feel like wasting my time on this right now... but this statement is such an enormous load of horseshit it has convinced me never to open one of your threads ever again...
Ravens won the ave per pass battle VS Denver by a whopping 3.4 yards per pass.
Ravens won the QB Passer Rating battle by a whopping 27.9 pts
Ravens won the TO battle by 2
Teams winning these battles by such huge amounts will go on to win the game by far and away more than 3 pts.
Denver got 2 return TD's, that is not repeatable and makes the final score look closer than what the Ravens actually out-played Denver on the field.
Return TD's rarely decide games, the QB's play does far more to decide the game and the margin of victory then any return TD's will.
And on this day the Ravens QB completely out-played Denver's by far and away more than 3 pts...............................................
That's the beauty of the method, let's you know what the most important battles that have the highest correlation to winning games says about each teams play.............................................................
Just finshed 3 more SB'S..............................................
My line using playoffs only Gaints -3.58
2011 Packers -12.9
2007 Colts -.59
Thus far in the past 5 SB's, 4-1 ATS using playoff only stats...............................................
Panthers -20.84 over Pats
Denver -2.62 over Packers
Gaints -11.33 over Ravens
The Panthers played the best of any team throughout the playoffs, completely dominating across the board in the "key stat battles".
Really surprised they didn't win out-right after seeing the success of the playoff only stats.
6-2 ATS using playoff only stats.
In this pass-happy era, the 1 common denominator that 7 of the 8 teams that covered the spread had is................the better QB Passing Rating differential throughout the playoffs. This also includes Colts who lost on the line but won on this. Only team to have the higher QBPR throughout the playoffs and fail to cover in the SB................................. 2000 Gmen.
The better QBPR in this years playoffs.....................................
Ravens ave a whopping 45.9 diff per game
9ers a very weak 6.3
It's all Ravens folks................................................................
Final 2 teams from the wild card round......................................
2005 season, 2006 SB - Seattle -3.04 over Pitt
Lost this one but actually I'm glad to see the Seahaks favored as Seattle got shafted with bad calls in this game, so much so that the refs apoligized to Seattle fans some years later, stating they made bad calls that determined the out-come of the game.
It wasn't just the bad calls but the big plays that those bad calls wiped-out. Like the pass down to the 2 yard line called back for a bogus holding call. Some site reviewed the game and found if that was holding Pitt held on 8 plays that were never called.
1999 SEASON, 2000 SB - Rams -8.71 over Titans.
Interesting that this game was the closest to the actual spread giving very little value, and ended a push. One could of easily won with the wild card round team, Titans as the opened +7.5 and stayed there a number of days.
Record for playoff only --- 6-3-1 ATS (65%)
2013 SB - Ravens -8.8 over 49ers, playoffs only "key stat battles"........................................................
Now let's take a look at value mismatches........................................
Value mismatches tell us which teams played better or worse than the final scores in their games.
And because the final scores play a big role in the public's perception of the teams this gives us an advantage over the public and value with the spread.
Any mismatch over 5 is a play, and by the way this works well in the regular season,.
2012 Gmen +8.58, winner
2011 Packers +6.24, winner
2010 no wild card team
2009 Zona +3.82, no play
2008 Gmen +8.14
2007 Colts +5.27, winner, colts were a fade with power ratings line but a play here.
2006 Pitt +.63, no play
2005 no wild card team
2004 Panthers +15.17, winner
2003 no wild card team
2002, no wild card team
2001 Gmen +.83, no play
2000 Rams +9.54, push
1999 no wild card team
1998 Denver +12.45, winner
5-0-1 ATS with a 5 pt or better value mismatch
2013 SB - Ravens +8.96 --- 49ers +2.16 = Ravens by 6.8
Ravens are flat-out playing much better than they look by 8.96 pts per game, this gives us value with the spread on the Ravens..................................................................
Actually the value mismatches went 6-0-1 ATS, but if we take-out the Colts who were a fade on the line we get............................
Value mismatches 5-0-1 ATS (91.7%) , using playoff only stats...................and
6-2-1 ATS (72.2%), using playoff only power ratings and this counting Seattle as a loss.
Yea, it's all Ravens..................................10-14 pt win....................................................................
Now that we're in the Super Bowl let's look back at FO DVOA meteric.
According to DVOA 3 teams, Seattle, Denver and the Pats were 3 of the best teams in the DVOA era which I think goes back to 1991.
A couple of years back DVOA also said the 2010 Pats were one of the best teams since 1991.
That's 4 teams, 4 oppurtunities for the strongest teams of the past 20 years, and not 1 team, not even 1 produced a winning record in the playoffs or made the SB, they could not even make the Super Bowl let-alone win the Super Bowl.
These 4 supposed BEST TEAMS combined for a 2-4 record in the playoffs with 50% of them one-and-done.
Hey, go ahead and believe in this weak, weak, weak, meteric if you'd like, but it's just SILLY to assume any one of those 4 teams was/is one of the best teams since 1991.
DVOA actually had the Eagles no.1 in a year they failed to make the playoffs.
Seattle was 3-5 on the road this season, does that sound like a best team in a 20 year period.
The Pats were out-played in the key effeicency indicator which has a over 70% correlation to winning NFL, ave gain per pass att.
The Pats very weak 11.8 QBPR Diff, certainly is not even SB winner worthy has 80% of all SB winners produce a 13 diff or better and a 13 diff is low end for SB winners.
When one looks back at the best teams of a 20 year period, such as the 85 Bears, 91 Skins or 92 Cowboys, you can take it to the bank that these great teams dominated in one or both of these key stats.
You can look long, you can look far, you won't find any team consider the best team of a 20 year period that produced a losing road record or were out-played by it's opponents in ave gain per pass att.
Dvoa is a weak, weak, weak metric.....................................................
2. Seattle - 10.36
3. Broncos - 10.04
4. Redskins - 9.58
5. Pats - 8.58
6. Packers - 7.56
7. Texans - 6.46
8. Falcons - 4.58
9. Ravens - 4.02
10. Bengals - 3.22
11. Vikings - (-1.24)
12. Colts - (-5.96)
Find the difference between opponents and add 3 pts for home Field..................................
Ravens -12.98 over Colts
Packers -11.8 over Vikings
Texans -6.24 over Bengals
Redskins -2.22 over Seahawks
With a 6 pt difference between these and the "closing line", it's important to use the closing line as this factors in the public's perception, then we have a play.
Right now it looks like no plays, Ravens have a 5.98 diff and Skins have a 5.22 diff.
I won't adjust these ratings untill the SB, I've found they work just as well without adjusting, each week we will revisit these Power Ratings and Value Ratings and make plays.
Game-time is getting closer, Good Luck ............................................
There's no question the 49ers were a much better, more balanced team in the regular season.
My power rating line would be 49ers -9.08 over the Ravens based on the regular season.
There's a boatload of evidence that free agency and the pass happy era has weaken the better teams and they no longer can dominate in the postseason like they once did.
From the 10 teams from the wild card round going 10-0 ATS and 7-3 SU in the past 15 SB's, to the higher seeded favorite covering the spread just 1 time since 1995, just 2 short years after free agency began.
I checked back to 1985 and could not find a single team make the SB let-alone win it that gave-up 24 points or more in back-to back playoff games.
Zona in 2008 did give-up 24 and 25 but not back-to back. They did cover in the SB but as a big dog not a fav.
The 49ers last 5 games they gave-up, 24, 31, 13, 42, 34, ole man history says this doesn't bode well for teams entering the SB with such poor play defensively.
The 49ers also gave-up the largest QBPasser rating to a home losing QB to Matt Ryan in history, speaks volumes where this defense is headed.
The injusy to Smith has hurt this team quite a bit and they no longer can get to the QB.
The Ravens have performed with the same common denominators as the past team from the wild card round have done in the playoffs.
I would not bet against this trend ................................................
Playoffs only power rating line.............................
Ravens -8.8 and Ravens -6.04 in my 2 sets of power ratings.
Ravens also win the value mismatch battle by 6.8 and 4.06 pts.
In other words the Ravens are playing far better than the final scores in their games says.
I could make a strong case for this to be a best bet play on the Ravens but find it difficult to fade the 49ers would are clearly the best team coming into the playoffs but the wild card round teams are to strong a trend to pass-up here in this years SB.
I'll ride the Ravens with a small play.....................................
Ravens +4.5 over the 49ers --- 2.2 units to win 2 units
Good luck gents and enjoy the last game untill next season.........................................
The "key stat battles" did it again guys, producing another winning playoff run.....................................
2013 NFL Playoffs --- 3-2-1 ATS, Won 6.4 units.
Well, teams from the wild card round go to 11-0 ATS and a impressive 8-3 SU. I would not bet against this strong trend.
I think I figured-out how to identify these teams before the championship games, it's something I've been working on a few years now and was confident the Ravens would be the team prior to the AFC Championship game, I'll have that and a few more new things next season.
Playoffs only power rating goes to 7-2-1 ATS (75%) AND...............
Value mismatch with a diff over 5 goes to 6-0-1 ATS ......................................
In games involving teams from the wild card round............................
Hope to see everyone in the NBA Playoffs, I'll be back with the largest value mismatch of the opening round, a 4-1SU and ATS winner last season.......................................untill then guys.............thanks for coming along for the ride..........................may lady luck be your bride tonight.............................

All Dogs Should Live Inside, But . . .
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) believes that all dogs should live indoors with their families. A dog requires more than just food, water, shelter, and veterinary care. As important as these basics is companionship. Being social animals, dogs not only prefer to be around people and other animals, they actually require this interaction to be healthy and well adjusted.
Despite these strong beliefs, The HSUS realizes that until all people are educated to become responsible pet owners, many dogs will be forced to live outside much of the time. For those who do not allow their dogs inside or insist on keeping them out some of the time, the doghouse plans provided here will help keep dogs comfortable while they are outside.
Please note: Dogs should never be tied to their houses. Tied-out dogs may become entangled and not be able to reach their shelter, food, or water. If a dog must be kept outside, he or she should be kept within a fence or other safe enclosure and not tied up.
We encourage everyone -- animal control officers, humane society workers, and private citizens-- to do everything possible to alleviate the suffering of dogs who are forced to live outside and apart from their families. We provide these doghouse plans for those cases where all else fails.
A Well-Designed Space
Experts describe the type of shelter that dogs should have if it is necessary to keep them outside.
There are some good doghouses for sale, but you can build one yourself, if you prefer. The simple plans shown here make an excellent doghouse containing a partition to make a warm sleeping room, as well as a perch to provide a dry place for the dog to lie outside.
Keeping an Outdoor Dog Healthy
Bedding for the doghouse is important. A covering over the cold floor helps to keep the dog warm and comfortable. Straw or cedar chips are most suitable and usually can be obtained from your local feed store. Shredded newspaper may be used, but be aware that the newsprint can rub off and discolor the dog's fur. Also, some dogs are allergic to newsprint. Here is an important caution: Hay is not suitable because it gets moldy and can contain a fungus (Aspergillus) that causes a very serious condition in the dog's nasal passages, leading to severe nosebleeds.
Outdoor dogs should never be moved back and forth between heated indoor quarters and the cold outdoors. Such extreme temperature changes can cause severe and often fatal respiratory illness. However, a cool basement or similar shelter indoors on bitter cold nights would be welcome, and certainly dogs deserve that consideration. Outdoor dogs burn extra energy to maintain their body heat in cold weather. Studies have shown that the dog's normal amount of food should be increased by 25 percent in moderate winter weather, and much more than that in very cold weather.
All companion animals require fresh water daily, so if the water is frozen outdoors, drinkable water must be provided at least twice a day.

The Reykjavik Underground Yarnstormers yarnbombed a bus for Culture Night Aug 18 2012 in Reykjavik , Iceland .
30 knitters and crocheters worked for 6 weeks to make the installation . It took 20 yarnbombers 8 hours to install . The yarnbombing will stay up until it wears out .
What I Love About This
The Reykjavik Yarnstormers were asked to do this – I love that yarnbombers are being asked to contribute to everything now , festivals , country fairs , museums , city improvements , libraries , gallery shows . It's such an act of generosity by the knitters – they usually do it for love and fun not money . This bus is beautiful and filled with finely detailed crocheted lace and fair isle knitting , you would feel like you are in your home while you were out in public . A chance to ride around in art .
Plus it's Iceland , it seems like all the buses should be knitted . It's bus 196 if you go see to Iceland to see it .
All pictures and the story are from Reykjavik Underground Yarnstormers here .
