Twitter showed a man some love after he tweeted about his mom struggling to sell her knitted wares at a craft fair.
On Nov. 26, Martyn Hett of Manchester, England texted his mom, Figen, to see how she was doing. He tweeted out her heartbreaking response:
The 28-year-old then mentioned his mom had a Depop page , which is similar to Etsy, where people buy and sell homemade goods.
A friend of Hetts bought a glove creature from his mother’s Depop page :
And a few more people followed along and bought goodies as well:
Then, in the very best way possible, knit hit the fan:
Mama Figen even had to re-up on materials due to demand:
“She sews/knits for therapeutic reasons,” Hett told Buzzfeed News . “She’s a counselor and she believes that being creative is good for the soul – it’s advice she often gives to her clients. Since it went viral, she’s decided to donate money from her earnings to a local charity, Beacon Counselling .”
He also told Indy 100 that she’s getting requests from people who want her to make specific hearts to honor relatives who have passed .
In regards to the response, Hett thinks the whole thing is hilarious.
His mom, however, has decided to react in the most mom way possible:
She is sew cute!
