Have you ever given someone a gift...
...and in that instant, you realize that you've disappointed them?
There's something in their eyes or in their smile...
...that gives them away.
This happened to me this Christmas.
I had been given a wonderful 'charm pack' of coordinating fabrics for my birthday in March...
...and I sewed some of the fabric into a pretty scarf for the gift giver.
When she opened it and I saw the look...
...I couldn't help but ask...
...because, of course, I am the type of person who can't let an unexpressed feeling go unexpressed. Har.
So I asked my friend, "Are you sorry that I didn't make you a felted scarf?"
She admitted that it had been what she was hoping for...
...so I made her one...
...in 'her' colors.
Happiness all around! :)

What a thoughtful person you are. It hat to hurt a little when you realized your friend was disappointed, but you moved on immediately and made that lovely blue felted scarf. Which, I am sure, will probably be much warmer as well.
Even if it was a "look" that gave her away, I'm also sure your friend never meant for you to see it. But since all's well that ends well, I'm glad there was a happy ending for both of you. :)
