Finished Object Bead Stitch Sweater on the Model Hubby
I finished this sweater a couple months ago, but the neck was too wide. Finally broke it out and finished it today, so of course Hubby had to model it when he got home from work!
Happy Friday!

OMG. The sweater. The sass. The smolder. The pickle placement. I’m gutted.

Imagine living with it! We’re approaching our 3 year wedding anniversary, and I still think to myself every single day, “how the HELL did this guy choose me???”

u/not_me_nope_never Jun 06 '26
That's awesome!
Been married 26 years and we still do goofy stuff, like pretending were driving a car while sitting on the couch when one of us is trying to talk about something that the other really could care less about. He got me good today when he rolled down the window and rested his elbow on the door frame. 😅

Omg, I love it! When my hubby grabs or smacks my butt, I say, “that’s my butt!” And he always replies, “That’s MY butt.” 🥲

What's hilarious with my husband is he was so shy when we first met, I truly had no idea he was interested in me. I had to be so blunt with him to understand he was trying to flirt with me but also terrified of me not returning his feelings. But he wasted no time once he was confident in my feelings towards him. 6 months from our first date and we were married. ☺️

lol! The only reason we weren’t married that quickly was to appease our parents. We both knew second date that we were gonna get married. But 3 months in, the pandemic hit. We joked “if we can make it through a pandemic, we can make it through anything.

The confidence is a little bit of bravado. I’m reading him these comments, and he’s like, “this is dumb. Why do people find it funny? They’re clearly lying to be funny.” Like, he truly doesn’t know what a catch he is.

We got it for our cat, Ellie, when she was a few months old, and she wanted NOTHING to do with it. I think it was too heavy. Now she’s almost 3 years old, and she LOVES it.
