I sent my friend a homemade scarf for Christmas. It was in a color she likes and was a traditional style. I had also sent one for my brother and sister in law. They were labor intensive but came out really nicely and my brother and sister in law were thrilled with them.
I sent them late-ish and was worried they wouldn't make it in time. I hadn't heard anything that anyone received a package (didn't want thanks just wanted to know if they received them), so I called my brother who hadn't gotten theirs yet. A few days later he called me to tell me he got them and they were waiting for Christmas to open them, all fine. I still hadn't heard from my friend so I rang her and asked if she got a package and she said she had as well and was waiting too, again fine.
I still haven't heard from my friend to acknowledge the gift. We talk every day or text. How hard would it be to quickly text just to say she liked it or if she didn't like it a generic 'it's nice, thank you'. I guess it's more poignant because I struggled so much learning how to do this scarf and my friend encouraged me , told me to not give up, and frankly it came out really nicely. So is it odd I haven't heard anything about it yet? We texted last night to wish each other Merry Christmas so we have been in touch.
Or maybe I'm just too sensitive because I knew how much I struggled with learning how to make it? By the way when she encouraged me she had no idea I was making one for her.
