I have two sons and so they are not really interested in tatting, in fact sometimes they will poke fun at it. However, recently I was asked my by youngest if I had any Christmas tatting as he wanted to take some over to his colleagues in Singapore. I was thrilled and dug out all my Christmas tatting, some bits have been around for many years. Anyway he choose what he wanted, took them home and then purchased some boxes and placed them inside.
This is the photograph he sent me today. Each box contains two Christmas baubles (patterns on the side of my blog) and other Christmas ornaments. It will be interesting to hear what they think of their gift boxes full of tatting!
This made me smile! What fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gifts! Great idea to put them into a box.
ReplyDeleteWonderful compliment to you and your tatting! Sometimes our children take more notice of what we're doing than we suppose. The boxes show the tatting off well.
ReplyDeleteVery true about what you said about children Jane
DeleteThis is such a great story. And such lovely beaded items - an excellent selection! I believe he now realizes how unique this hobby of yours is. The boxes are perfect! I'm sure the recipients will be amazed and delighted when they open them.
ReplyDeleteSweet gifts! I like how he packaged them!! :)
