Yet another water feature added to the house.

Look at the mist rising in the center! |
I strongly identify with Gollum from The Hobbit. I, too, have precious things. This computer is, in fact, officially named My Precious. The difference between Gollum and me is that I have many precious things while Gollum was satisfied with one. Yes, I should be ashamed. No, I am not. Techie toys, fabric, sewing machines, and water features--I love them all. Right now, I'm on a misting water fountain kick. I love the sound of the water trickling in the background and the mist rising and floating away.
After my sister gave my first misting fountain,
the obsession began. That one even has lights that change colors--or not.

The one problem with using the large vase is that it is too deep to see the mist which dissipates rather quickly. You need a fairly shallow container for the water if you want to see that mist. To get around that issue, I bought a giant cocktail glass and plunked it in the center.
You can see the upper edge of the glass piece in the photos above. Dissipating
mist dilemma solved, and I still get to use my beautiful vase. Between the pink pine cones and this, I've had my crafty fix for the month. One more project off the list.
