is it my birthday? nope.
a holiday that involves gift giving? nah.
nonetheless, my friend renee surprised me with a treat.
she got me my own knitter’s tool tin (emblazoned with my own name).
now i know these are built to travel
and they travel very well,
but the place i can never, ever find the knitting tools i need
is in my little workroom.
so i squealed a little squeal,
gave renee a big ol’ hug and then got down to the business
of spring cleaning my desk drawers
(i’m not the only one who has the urge to clean
when given gifts, am i?…oh well).
turns out that my spiffy new tin fits exactly right
in the top desk drawer.
this happens to be exactly the right place for it to fit
since i’m often at my desk when i don’t have
the little tool i need.
so handy.
now maybe someday,
i’ll get to be the featured designer on a set of
the sexy knitter’s tins, right?
a girl’s got to dream.
