Life is not what you expect: it is made up of the most unexpected twists and turns. ~Ilaiyaraaja
I must admit that I was glad you weren’t all right or nearly so with your guesses on the last mystery photo like on the first picture. That gives me a little more courage to continue on with this game and to believe that I might find a picture that will at least make some of you think. And come up with the wrong answer. 🙂 Wrong answers make the game more fun. Maybe not for you, but definitely for me.
Last week I didn’t come up with much of a mystery. Wednesday’s post I did better and you all did some imagination exercising to come up with your answers to “What in the world is it?”
The guesses came in from all angles. Some of you were seeing fabric, a towel, a rug, a sweater, or a red jacket. I liked Eileen’s soap bubbles on her red sweater. It’s fun blowing bubbles. Then Lisa and Suzanne were getting dressed for the dance with sequins and sparkles on a dress. Ola saw sparkles on a red sofa. That could happen if those girls in the sequin dresses came to visit. Amy stuck sequin in there too along with four more guesses. Her first guess was red blood cells under a microscope. Sounds like a great mystery photo to me, but no, I didn’t get quite that desperate to trick you all. Loved her lava lamp guess too. Lucy remembered about the lunar eclipse a few nights ago and thought maybe I had a good enough camera to catch a picture of it. It was supposed to be a red moon.
Paula thought I might have put some salt or sugar on a napkin. That’s a great idea. I’ll remember it for the future. Connie said a dish scrubber. I’ve seen some that might match the picture. Especially after cleaning up a tomato sauce mess. Robin thought about a chicken wattle or comb. Lee agreed about the rooster comb but then was thinking like Lisa, that maybe I’d taken a picture of Frankie’s tongue or got a cow to stick our its tongue at me. Another great idea for a mystery photo if I can get some help from the dogs or the cows. Lee decided I couldn’t get that done and changed her guess to an azalea bloom.
She wasn’t the only one thinking flowers. Hope thought maybe a tulip and Marji didn’t name her flower but thought it a flower petal. And two got it exactly right, Jacinda and Karen. Well, Karen reported that her husband made the guess. Yes, it was a dew covered rose petal. I’ve been dwelling on dew, haven’t I? Way to go, guys.
But wait, I can’t forget Ann’s guess that had me laughing out loud when I read it. She said she had no idea but would make the best guess she could. A cross-eyed alien from outer space. Now, that would be a mystery photo for sure. I hope if I see one of those I can grab my phone out of my pocket and take a fast picture. But then it might be hard to take a picture after you pass out from fright.

I think it kind of looks like one of those beaded trivets with the edge flipped up.
looks like lace edge
To me it looks like the edge of a throw rug. I have one that looks similar to that, same colors as mine. Oh well it is fun to guess.
I think the seam of blu jeans
The edge of a crocheted washcloth or throw. I can’t believe I didn’t guess the dew on the rose petal.🤪 Love doing these.
At first I thought it was the serged edge of a seam, but upon closer inspection it looks more like the selvedge edge of a woven fabric.
A crochet piece ? Maybe …..
Usually I feel like I have some idea, but this round of mystery photos has me stumped. It makes no sense, but this photo looks like a crocheted edge on a non-slip shelf liner. Maybe you get extra fancy when you line your shelves?
The edge of bluejeans?
This new one looks like a close up of something denim. I see a tiny bit of red in the bottom which might be part of a sock, so it would be the bottom cuff of one of the legs of a pair of jeans?
I got closer than I thought I would on that last photo. Our roses haven’t bloomed yet, so I didn’t think about that as a flower choice.
My first guess is something knitted with a crochet trim. But my girls say it’s a rug. This is a good one, for sure!
A lacy doily.
I may never get one right, but it is fun to guess the first thing that pops in my head. My grandma had a lacy doily on each one of her end tables when I was growing up. I now have the two end tables, but wonder what happened to the dollies…
doilies not dollies. Spell correct doesn’t even recognize the word! Sigh. I am older than I want to admit!😊

Spell check can be the most aggravating thing, but then sometimes it’s helpful too, Robin. I’m never sure I like my phone knowing what I’m getting ready to type before I type it, and sometimes what it thinks I’m ready to type isn’t the nicest. LOL. I knew you meant doilies. I have a drawer full of those end table doilies and those they put on chair arms and on the back that my grandmother and great aunts made. I even use one on a table I have. Makes me feel connected to the past.
Anyway, love the guess. Not saying it’s right or wrong, but I like it either way it turns out.
the edge of a curtain?
I’m thinking that must be lace on a dress collar 🤔
Looks like a piece of denim like a pair of blue jeans would have.
Is it a chain link fence?
My way off guess is rug backing.
I must say I have no idea. Love it anyhow
