Feeling ill and crappy and read this on the back of another thread here. And now I’m crying.
What a wonderful, heartwarming thread.

Seriously @Sevensilverrings, do you have a shop? My MIL would adore these x

Just re read as ill and miserable and I knew this would make me happy

2lostsouls · 09/10/2021 10:22

Mumsnet at its absolute finest. Spoonhugs to you all. ❤️

Oh my. I seem to have something in my eye. Just beautiful ❤️

What a lovely thread.. It's made me go a bit emotional (sniff).

@Wanderlust20, bless you!! Grin

I'm 6 months pregnant, had a bad day at work and was not prepared for this thread! Why the feck am I crying?!

BlueTongueSkink · 24/02/2021 10:49

@Sevensilverrings your work is absolutely beautiful. I would definitely buy something like this on Etsy!

Slub · 23/02/2021 19:48

Fabulous thread @Sevensilverrings you are truly a wonderful human being and very talented 💐💕

RestingPandaFace · 23/02/2021 18:59

@Sevensilverrings beautiful and so kind of you to make these. I’m so glad you are able to get back to making things, your work is beautiful. Another request for the link if you ever set up an Etsy shop as I would love a set of the spoon rests.

Nydj · 23/02/2021 11:13

This is just wonderful - beautiful spoonrests @Sevensilverrings!

GirlInterruptedAgain · 23/02/2021 10:52

The range.

Zandathepanda · 23/02/2021 10:28

Love the fact you ended up with the whole family of them - I wouldn’t have been able to choose either!
Why am I another with a tear in her eye?! What softies we have all become Grin

There aren’t many perfect threads but this is one of them. What a perfect display of generosity of spirit and the importance of creativity to all of us at the moment.

It seems such a small thing but it’s really not. I never thought I’d find meaning in a teaspoon rest

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 23/02/2021 10:10

This is a lovely thread! We drink so much tea in this house that a spoon stand is essential, then we have a separate plate for used teabags to dry out on before they go in the kitchen waste caddy. (Otherwise, leakage!)

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 23/02/2021 09:33

When I saw this in Active I had to click to see how a thread about spoonrests with only 200 or so posts was in Classics. I now understand entirely! Only on MN Grin

This really is such a wonderful thread. I'm so glad your spoons finally have their beautiful hugs Op (small spoonrests are no longer called spoonrests in my mind. They are spoonhugs forever more).

@Sevensilverrings you are incredibly talented ! I'd happily buy from your Etsy shop too, and I can think of plenty of people that would also treasure a gorgeous spoonhug.

prettybird · 23/02/2021 09:08

What beautiful pieces  Smile

Thanks and Star to Sevensilverrings

I too would love a link to the Etsy shop when it is eventually set up.

Our used teaspoons go into wee teaspoon cups (so stand upright) that my aunt, who used to be a potter, made and decorated.

muddyford · 23/02/2021 08:58

I had an acquaintance many years ago who had teabag tongs. She lifted the teabags out of the teapot with them. Everyone I know empties the pot in the sink!

billybear · 23/02/2021 08:42

easy to find b a m . wilko etc very cheap to buy

YowMyHead · 23/02/2021 08:39

I will be reading the full thread later as its clearly an emotional journey...

Meanwhile, can I suggest this process:

  • buy a pud from pots & co (from Sainsbury's, Waitrose etc) - various flavours come in different colour pots to co-ordinate with your kitchen

www.potsandco.com/lemon-lime-possett

Eat said pudding (force yourself) strictly to check that your teaspoon is a good fit Grin

Instead of bleaching tea spoon rest, repeat this process every couple of months to replace spoon rest/build up a charming selection of ramekins

Chunkymenrock · 23/02/2021 08:32

Really beautiful! Op, can we see some of your crochet? Just for the full lovely, huggy, reciprocal crafty experience?!

How beautiful.

I was meant to go to Venice last year but - COVID.

I was keen to revisit the Murano glass factory shop for a soap dish.

AColdDuncanGoodhew · 23/02/2021 08:00

Best thread ever, now i’m keeping an eye out for the Etsy shop!

TangoWhiskyAlphaTango · 23/02/2021 07:58

Might have just shed a tear. I did not know about spoon rests but now I absolutely have to have one in my life!

Beautiful thread x
