Galaries Lafayette

dsc01373

12C and partly sunny yet windy yesterday. This morning it's 12C and overcast. I think summer is over, lol. It will only be in the low teens next week and rain. Oh well it will be good for the grass and flowers.

This is a photo of the glass dome inside Galeries Lafayette. We had lunch at the Lafayette Café on the
6th floor of the main store/Self-service restaurant. We had a nice grilled steak with vegetables and a small bottle of red wine. Our table had a veiw of the Opera.

Martin Biron the Philadelphia Flyers goalie stymied the Canadiens in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal. Once the first period was over and the Habs woke up, they played very well. Unfortunately, Biron had a great game the Habs lost. Still, not a game that we really need to get all upset about.

Yesterday my sister and hubby came over. I wanted to make a Habs sweater for a teddy bear that we bought in Miami Beach over 30 years ago. I tried to make a pattern for the logo but when I was almost finished my graphics program froze and I lost my work. I had googled to try to find one with no luck. I decided to try again and finally found at Handmade by Jennifer, she has lots of stuff on knitting with links to other knitting blogs.
My sister, who is a great knitter made the back while I searched. She had to leave otherwise she would have finished the whole sweater. She started the front before she left. I got half of the log done when I realized the "C" was backwards, so I ripped it up and started over. I'm half finished, when the sweater is finished I will take a picture.

HI Claudia,
I am sorry you had to rip out your work. I went to that site and saw the Hab logo. I can't wait to see pictures of the finished sweater.
That is a beautiful shot of the glass dome inside the Galeries Lafayette.
Have a wonderful Monday.
Hugs
