I am always a bit thrilled when I have a sale from my Etsy Shop, but also sometimes feel a twinge of sadness when posting off something that I have spent time creating. Very silly, I know.
But when I got a message recently asking if I could personalize one of my London buses as a Wedding Anniversary gift for seven years, I was really delighted. Seven years is traditionally associated with either copper or wool. I don't think I have ever made something that has been an anniversary gift before. My photo has not quite caught that the number on the front is a 7.
"What a wonderful, thoughtful husband." I keep saying this within earshot of my own husband, hoping he might be inspired for our next anniversary.
This is a great idea for an anniversary. I always have to drop huge hints when it comes to our special occasions. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet, I'm not surprised they are hard to let go of, you must put all your thoughts into the knitting as you go.
ReplyDeletedropped by to say "hi" from Handmade Monday, I have a cupboard full of things I've made and can't bear to part with, we're drowning under quilts and laminated washbags that's for sure! Had a little giggle when you mentioned saying things in earshot of your husband, I could have a megaphone playing a message to mine on repeat and he wouldn't take a hint. Seeing your post today reminded me to nip over to your Etsy shop to snap up a knitting pattern too - Chris @madebyChrissieD :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift and will never be seen in the shops. This is where us hand makers have the edge not only making something unique but also can be personalised
ReplyDeleteI could do with a thoughtful husband like that. How lovely for his wife to receive such an original gift.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, I bet she'll be thrilled :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing and creative gift!
ReplyDeleteOh that's such a sweet idea - what a lovely way to do a wool gift that isn't socks!!
ReplyDeleteThat really is a thoughtful husband! Such a lovely anniversary gift! Thanks for sharing at Submarine Sunday!
