Fortunately I've found a few weakness that we both agree on: Books, Art, Fashion, and Food. I love cooking for him and the way he has that smile that makes him look like the happiest man in the world. However, when I do get him something, I usually add some touches that are all mine. I remember when I bought him a copy of Silmarillion and wrote my own forward on the from page for kicks. The hat he's wearing in this photo was a gift from our 8th anniversary. I added the button after a trip to City Walk and he hasn't taken it off. Since we've called the hat Teddy Crossbones.
This year I made him an infinity scarf. I've been itching to try my hand at some dye projects and this was first on the list. The scarf is crotchet out of 100% cotton, I then took a silk screen spray and went lightly over it to give it that distressed look. I didn't have the intent of matching it to Teddy Crossbones but it matches perfectly.
The scarf couldn't have come at a better time. Two amazing things are happening very soon. This Saturday we'll be celebrating our 10 year anniversary of being together! That's a decade of growing together, chasing the moon, and achieving dreams. Its so amazing to see that teenage boy grow into the man he is today; I wouldn't have it any other way!
Azure Blue is the color of our non-profit's logo. We will be celebrating 3 years of business by next January. This is a huge deal because most non-profits don't make it past the 3 year mark. We're here to stay bringing theatre to the communities of Los Angeles. Eugene's been having the hardest time finding anything in Azure Blue, so I made him something.
He loves the scarf and the picture I took of him and Despereaux. Quite dashing don't you think?
