This evening I am therefore just going to put my feet up, and relax, after showing you a couple of pics from yesterday.
Last week I pulled out my Zakka Style to make dear hubby something for Valentine's Day that he had actually asked for, a pen case. I gave him a swanky fountain pen for Christmas, and it needed a cosy home.
I used the same man-flannel that I made man-presents from at Christmas, and even though I have made a few of these, that turning through bit at the end always makes me worry that it is all going to go horribly wrong!
It didn't. Success all round.
And as if roses and chocolates weren't enough, dear husband and I headed over to Chichester for the day. We has breakfast at John Lewis at Home, and then we went to The Eternal Maker.
I say 'we'. I went in for a while, whilst he waited patiently in the car, and just as it was time to pay, my gallant knight strode in and paid for my wares. How lucky am I!?
4 half meters of the newly delivered Architextures, my favourite Aurifil thread, some luscious Cosmos floss and a meter of measuring tape.
Gifts don't get much more perfect than that xxx
Nice Valentines presents all round. I note that they are all fabric too! Di x
ReplyDeletedroolage!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky thing!
ReplyDeleteMmm - love that fabric at the front...the man flannel case is tres sophisticated!
ReplyDeleteAw! He's a keeper! Jxo
ReplyDeleteSounds like he thoroughly deserved a mancase :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you happen to find a spare knight like that, send him my way :oD
ReplyDeletePfffftt, who needs that Ryan gosling guy when you've got Mr FB!
ReplyDeleteYou scored big time ! I guess your knight in shining armour is a keeper then?!!
ReplyDeleteI'd call the day a success!
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect! You picked excellent fabrics and the pen case is really great.
ReplyDeletesounds like a great day and that Mr of yours is a keeper
ReplyDeletePerfect fabrics and the perfect husband!
ReplyDeleteGreat pen case...I love pens :) Nice gifts for you too! I will be down that way in March and so hopefully will take a trip to The Eternal Maker
ReplyDeleteIf only you'd known - you could have added a stack more!?
ReplyDeleteBless him. He knows what valentines is all about. Love the fabric by the way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day indeed! Tell Hubby I was expecting a Valentine this yeah after all the surprise swoons I did for him!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day - and the pen case looks brilliant (and very manly. :-) )The architextures looks lovely - have you a specific project in mind for it yet?
ReplyDeleteDoes hubby offer lessons by correspondence?!
ReplyDeleteVery good man zakka. Lovely fabric, you lucky bunny, maybe I can engineer a drive-by for Chichetster tomorrow and get a better late than never Valentines something! ; )
ReplyDeleteYour gallant knight needs to hire himself out for husband training.
ReplyDeleteCan your gallant Knight have a word with my sloppy arsed Hubbie about the correct protocol for buying fabric presents? ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pen case. Your trips to The Eternal Maker sound like mine, only thing is my husband doesn't come in and pay but I think that probably better that way! Haven't been there for ages, but can feel a visit coming on this week seeing as I'm off work.
ReplyDeleteHe's a catch for sure! My hubby was texting me from the car - how much longer would i be? - lol! and he didn't pay... Great pen case :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat Susan said!
ReplyDeleteLove the pen case, the fabric and the sidekick tote from your last post!
