world's best husband

While I was shopping for fabric for my pillows this weekend, I saw some fun cotton (on sale!) with a very cute snail pattern.

In another fabric store, I saw a box of $1.00 patterns, which I normally do NOT have the patience to search through. However, a pattern for boxer shorts, in Thom's exact size, was sitting right on top of the stack.

So, the snails became shorts....

Thom suffered through a couple of fittings, although the pattern is still not quite there yet -- it will need a few more alterations before the fit is just right for future pairs.

After I finished up this pair, Thom said "wait, don't you want to take a photo for your blog??"

Now that's love -- volunteering to have a picture of your underwear-clad butt posted on your wife's crafty blog!

(Send some good wishes his way -- he's just finishing grad school and making the transition back to full-time employment. It's a little rough going right now, but I am optimistic that all will work out soon...)
