Between the pain in the neck crap I had to deal with at work, the horrendous traffic I endured doing an errand for the beloved boyfriend and the torrental downpour I ran through because I forgot my umbrella I had this excited anticipation and calm because I was going to blog about Glee today. It’s the little things that will calm you down when traffic is going 25mph on a major state highway. Or when it takes you 45 minutes to get from point A to point B when normally it takes 10. I even canceled a dinner tonight with an old friend because I though, "geeze, I wouldn’t even want to be in the same room as me right now." But then I arrived home, all tired all dishelved and there she was just sitting on the couch waiting for me to photograph her.
This beautiful, simple, and so is going-to-be-worn-a-hundered-times top was a quick and satisfying knit. The title of which is the emotion I am hoping to get to after several glasses of red wine and a foot massage.
I cannot recommend enough this pattern. It’s simple but oh so satisfying. I have yet to buy and or sew on the hook and eyes. I went this weekend to one craft store admid errands and all they had were black ones. I am off tomorrow (The small perks of working at a Catholic HS: holy days) and will most defintiely be visiting some shops for them.
And in case you were wondering in suspense what I went ahead and did with dear Fifi.
She and I had a nice heart to heart over some Veuve Cliquot. We’re getting along famously now.
Veuve Cliquot has a way of taking the pain of the day away, doesn’t it?
Your Glee is so beautiful, I almost say to forgo the clasps and all that and wear it as is…and Fifi looks very promising!
What holy day is it tomorrow?! (I’m a bad Whiskeypalian)…
