I'm assuming this probably should have gone in the gifts thread of the forum, but no worries, it happens.
I made a my cartoon self out of sculpey holding a heart that said "I luv u" (small heart, had to get the message across in bad grammar!), and I'm an artist so I draw him a lot of cartoons and I've been working on a landscape/architectural painting for a while now...

Hmm, I'm much more of a gift buyer than a gift maker! I put together a video on YouTube for our 18 month anniversary if that counts, but that's probably about it

I've made him two beaded hemp necklaces ( only jewelry he wears) and a perler bead keychain. For our one year anniversary, I made him a picture frame collage with pictures of us in it. I made him an embroidered pillowcase with all the things he has ( we have a list going as an inside joke).
I plan on making him music related table coasters soon."We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love " ~ Theodore Seuss Geisel.Comment

I've made a letter in a bottle, little clay sculptures, I made a hand print in clay, I've made some cards as experiments, I've made little jars of shampoo/conditioner so that he knows what mine smell like, I've drawn pictures and a cartoon drawing of him, I've painted a few things, I made a jacuzzi design for him out of drawing and water colour, I've made pictures and banners on the computer, I've decortate the shoe box that I sent him some things in, I made him an easter basket, I've even made a little poem or two up here and there. I'm a very arty and creative person! Haha At the moment I'm trying to find a picture of a tiger to oil paint for him. The one that I want to do is too big for now, so I'm stuck for a tiny A5 canvas board until I get paid again -.-Comment

Let's see. Well, I'll go with what I can remember! I recently made him a card-I haven't sent it yet. For his birthday I wrote little notes and rolled them up and stuffed them into a bottle (he loved it). I made him my specialty during my surprise visit in Feb-pumpkin chocolate chip muffins! He loves them and they were a hint that I was there. I made him a birthday cake last year (german chocolate, from scratch!) Scones, bread, cupcakes, muffins, dinner, I love to cook. I love to feed him and he is such a foodie, I'm pretty sure it's how I won him over. lol
Oh! I made him the bow tie & pocket square he's wearing in my picture. I'm sure there's more, but I forget. He loves the hand made gifts the best, because he knows I made them just for him.

My SO and I would rather buy each other gifts rather than make. However, I did make a beautiful scrapbook for Christmas last year. I've also made him a few cards. I think that's really it."I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms again."

I bake my SO a lot of things, because I'm very much a baker. I'm also planning on giving her some of the photographs that I've taken. So I guess that counts? She likes to knit me a lot of things.

Similar here, I gave him a self portrait he asked me to do and I drew for him a small drawing of the "garden" we've built in our imagination.Originally posted by Yaaamiii View PostI'm assuming this probably should have gone in the gifts thread of the forum, but no worries, it happens.

I also like making my own envelopes from scratch...making the paper and making my own format for letters. I've also written a few stories for him! Also there was a gap of 6 months when we did no see each other so in those days I made paper stars every day...red for kisses, white for caresses, purple for hugs, green for hodling hands and etc. So I filled up a jar with them and gave them to him he did the same thing for me except he used small paper balls instead of stars
