I would say that your father doesn't understand the thought, work and love that went into your present to him. To him, it was just an item. To you, it was an expression of love. Remember that your dad was not rejecting you and your love, he just didn't understand.
Some people don't get it. :roll: They would rather have something that was bought then have (in their words) "a home made gift". A neighbor of mine made a lap quilt for her close friends. The next time she went over to visit them, she found that they were using it for the dog bed. She was very hurt.
There are some people in my family that I won't make things for, because they don't understand. I pick the people who I know will appreciate "a home made gift". I just go out and buy a store bought gift for the others.
I would love for my daughter to make me the wall hanging that you made your father. You did a very good job.
