The Weekly Photo Challenge is Object. “Our photographs tell stories, big and small.”
My mother often made things for our Nicaraguan neighborhood. She made beautiful aprons embroidered with roosters, embroidered dish towels, and quilted purses for my local friends. Each time I delivered my gifts, my gracious local friends would give my mother a handmade gift in return. This crocheted gift had us puzzled, until we figured out its use. We laughed until we cried. Do you know what this object is?
For this weekly photo challenge, it’s not the photography that counts, but the story behind it. 🙂
Pay it forward! It’s the thought that counts.

for something in the bathroom, that’s why it has only one eye…lol Did Cedelune have it right? A toilet plunger or rolls of toilet paper?
Bingo! It can be used to cover a toilet plunger, or to stack rolls of toilet paper inside it, if one does not have a flush toilet. It was so puzzling, and we came up with all kinds of hysterical and creative uses for it, until we finally just had to ask, “What is this object?” Haha.
It’s to cover the toilet plunger?
You win, Cedelune. Yeaaaa! If I could ever find another one of these, I’d give it to you as a prize. 🙂
Please don’t search too hard, okay? (crocheted chachkas are definitely not my style!) LOL!
I”m completely stumbled. To cover a bottle of white wine?
No, not for wine. Sorry, not even close. 🙂
Darn! What is it for! I’m so curious now! 🙂
To cover a blender or some other similar kitchen item?
janet
Janet, we thought it was a blender cover, too. In fact, we placed it over every kitchen appliance trying to see if it would fit. We thought we had found a match, but there was a slit in the top of the crocheted thing-a-ma-bob.
Oh! I wonder if the mofit’s are a clue?!! That would be just a hoot ….
We thought we were close when we chose the kitchen as the place for the “one eyed cyclops”, too.
hehe!!
Yup, blender dress.
We thought so, too Cat. But, when we finally asked what it was for…we were kind of embarrassed to ask…they said nope, not a blender dress.
Some kind of a cozy?….to cover up something specifically? It can’t be intended for food because insects can easily crawl through the spaces. Maybe to ripen fruit? Now you got me curious!
Yes, it is definitely some kind of cozy to cover up something specifically. Jejeje
That is helpful….not! 🙂
Are you going to tell us soon now that you’ve built up the suspense?
I thought it might be a blender cover, but that wouldn’t make you laugh till you cried, would it? Whatever it is, it’s pretty wild!
It is pretty wild. It reminds me of a one eyed cyclops. Nicaraguans have a wonderful sense of humor.
