Inspiration comes from all around us...... I really believe this. So while strolling around town I spy this beautiful antique music box.
Of course, this evokes some fond and not so fond memories. I received a combination ballerina jewelry/music box for my 10th birthday, it was beautiful, it had a twirling ballerina, a clear cover to see the nibs of the music box and it was pink...... need I say more!
Stop laughing.
However, it looked nothing like the beautiful antique music box above. But the memory is still the same.
I loved winding it and hearing the lovely tune, it was "Laura's Theme" and the ballerina twirl around. Over and over and over again.
Until disaster struck. After enjoying my pretty pink jewelry box for 3 days, my younger brother, who was five years old at the time, who obviously did not get the same enjoyment from the music box as I did and proceeded to break the beautiful twirling ballerina off her pedestal. I was heartbroken. I think I even cried.... in fact, I know I did. My beautiful jewelry box was marred BUT, it still played "Laura's Theme" and I could still watch the nibs move along the cylinder. Delight still had.
Where am I going with this.....
Well the antique music box gave me an idea for a sock pattern (you knew it had to be something knitting, right?) and I will try to speed through it to show it to you in a later post.
