Well, so much for my posting every other day for the month of December. You have to admit though, I did post more often.
But, since Christmas, which was wonderful by the way… I haven’t knit a stitch. You see, one of my long time dreams came true.
About 15 or so years ago I went over to my sister’s for dinner. She had guests, a friend she used to work with and her husband. They were in town for the Strawberry Festival, with their harps. Her husband is a harp builder. He brought one in after dinner to show us. I fell in love. Since that day, I have kept the literature on Rees harps, and have had their site bookmarked on my computer, and dreamt of the day I would have a harp of my own.
But, years kept slipping by, we put our time, effort, and money into raising kids and getting them all into college…. but I would still hop onto that bookmark and look at the harps, and promise myself – someday.
Well, the hubby made “someday” happen this Christmas.
I can’t believe “someday” is here… and this beautiful little harp is mine. I love it. I’m teaching myself to play it. I will spend the rest of my life learning. I am SO thankful for my classical piano background – it’s sure coming in handy… but I’m surprised what a challenge this is. I’m SO in love with it.
I’ll knit too, I promise.
