It is the best present I have ever received.

Wow, I LOVE those! You can't buy buttons that great. I wish I had some woodworking talents. :) So post a photo of the cardigan WITH the buttons. It's all about me you know. Happy new year!

ReplyDeleteAn excellent illustration of "popping one's buttons with pride"!
ReplyDeleteKeep them away from termites and any other wood-eating insects you work with.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool. And I'm with Vegetable Assassin - I'd like to see the jumper.
ReplyDeleteThe best present I ever received was when my uncle bbought a crocodile gate for the bottom of the stairs for us.
Have a great 2011, Boonie
Aw... isn't that the sweetest present ever? You're a lucky gal Lulu xxx
ReplyDeleteMs Assassin - glad you like them, I tried to photograph the cardi but the colour came out all wrong
ReplyDeleteMoreidlethoughts - that just what he is - a sweetheart.
Dolce - yep
Savannah - I was sooo impressed
Louciao - "popping one's buttons with pride"! and he was as he gave them to me
MJ - I eat wood-eating insects
Boonie S - I want a crocodile gate for the bottom of my stairs now
Nursey - it is the sweetest present ever.
also very special because the box wood was picked up during a walk we did 10 years ago, when he picked up the fallen box branch he said - 'I shall make you something with this one day'
Your love is obviously very good with his hands.

ReplyDeleteI too, got a cardigan - it looked like something for a 10 yr old so it got returned. hubby is smart enough to leave the tags on clothing and hand me the receipt....
