Request for more. I designed and made some chair socks for my step mom and she loved them. Note she is a very picky person, so that was a real completment!
went all of my very nice friend write to me on my blog and say what a beautiful card that you did
Mine’s pretty typical, I get a lot of “you made that!” But I think the best is “Where did you get that? It’s gorgeous!” and when I answer “I made it” the next question is “How much would you charge to make something like that for me?”
I made my mom a Valentine’s Day card & she called to tell me how much it lifted her spirits.
The best compliment was given recently when I was reminiscing with my niece and nephew. They remember very clearly a summer they spent with me. They told me what a great crafter I am, and how much they loved learning all kinds of crafts from me. We made painted t-shirts and a ton of other projects.
the best comment was that all my cards are kept..they are too good to throw away
You made that Theresa?! I need one too!!
views choice award at guild quilt show there were over 250 quilts so many were deserving I was shocked I won
Between my cakes and my knitting, when someone says I should do it professionally (or when I was aksed to teach a class) is a pretty high compliment, but when someone simply says, “that is just beautiful” and you know they are sincere, well, that just makes my day and makes my time and efforts worth it.
I was wondering if there is any market for handmade crocheted items anymore, such as afghans, scarves and home accessories? People don’t seem to realize that the materials costs and the time to complete a project drives the price up!
after making the “no sew” fleece blanket for the first time – I was asked to “make one for me”, and I ended making 7!
