My special Santa, also looks just like my wonderful husband, gave me a shelf for my stash. Five wonderful empty shelves, 6 feet high, 36 inches wide and 18 inches deep and I can finally lay out my fabrics and see what I have. He moved two pieces of exercise equipment so I have more room to move around. I am thrilled to say the least, I will be able to lay out the yardage and actually see what I have to work with. Utilitarian yes, romantic - well yes in a major way because he knows how much I wanted to organize my fabric and he gave me the tool to do it with. May your special Santas make your Christmas as happy as mine has done for me. No, he doesn't understand my passion for the fabric; but he is willing to do whatever makes me happy and if that doesn't show love I don't know what does. I love that man! We've been together for 49 years, married for 47 and he is my best friend on top of being the bestest husband ever!!

Thats what I like. My DH does the same thing. Not very often romatic gifts. But, he gets me stuff that I can't bring myself to buy for me!!

MomtoBostonTerriers 12-24-2010 12:00 PM

What a sweet story! What a sweet hubby! How wonderful for you to appreciate his special qualities.

What a sweet DH/Santa :D:D:D

makakehau 12-24-2010 01:24 PM

It makes my heart feel so good to read the words you have written about your DH. Your love is so special... I'll bet he could have come home with a pack of bubblegum for a gift and you'd have been tickled.
Merry Christmas to you and hubby.

kreinhart742 12-24-2010 04:43 PM

That is a Merry Christmas. Quality time to play.

TN Donna 12-25-2010 03:27 AM

You have a great Santa. My husband and I have been married 35 years and we decided this year instead of exchanging gifts we would give a special gift to someone else. This morning we will deliver that gift together.

mcdaniel023 12-25-2010 03:32 AM

What a nice guy and a beautiful couple. Merry Christmas.

tdgiffin 12-25-2010 03:46 AM

Caroljoy 12-25-2010 05:52 AM

llong0233 12-25-2010 06:58 AM

I have one of those too! Not the shelf...the husband. And that is the most valuable thing to me. Congratulations on the shelf and making a great choice 49 years ago.

Nice guy. Sounds like he was paying attention to what you needed (and wanted).

Caroljoy 12-25-2010 11:51 AM

I got a Kindle and a cover for it - Hmmmmm - think I'm supposed to give up quilting?

ann clare 12-25-2010 11:57 AM

Thank you Santa.

passionpiecer 12-25-2010 12:41 PM

What a heart-warming story. Such a simple, sweet way to show you he loves and respects you! It warmed my heart.

Scakes 12-25-2010 12:46 PM

Sounds like a wonderful guy. Merry Christmas to you both.

annieshane 12-25-2010 02:24 PM

This is such a sweet story. Sometimes we don't appreciate the special people in our lives when they don't do fantastic gifts. Yours is special indeed, he loves you enough to support your passions. Even the smaller gifts, when done with love, mean more than the diamonds,etc.

Merry Christmas and have fun organizing your fabrics. Happiest of New Year to you and your special hubby

wonderwoman 12-25-2010 04:50 PM

What a GREAT story...thank you so much for sharing. It's a very good thing!

It sounds as if you have not only bonded with fabric over the years but more importantly, bonded with one generous gentleman who appreciates you and wants to make your life easier. Congratulations on both points.

Cassews 12-25-2010 06:06 PM

Love the special Santa .. he bought me an embroidery machine and helped me set up my sewing room which has been a disaster for a while.. He has been so good to me all year long and now this, guess I will keep him !!
Congrats on your special santa and his gift no matter what it is or what he has done as long as he is good to you ...

That is what makes our DH so special...when they know those things that matter most and do them for us. Good for you and it is wonderful that you have one that still takes care of the most important person in his life.
