Put the right price on yourself and the worth of your craft - otherwise you are underselling both. You must not work for slave labour prices, but you also have to be realistic about the prices you put onto the items. I think they should be admired and used and not put in a cupboard, and you can always take photos of what you do.
The first time I started selling, some people thought I was putting too high of a price on things, but I don't worry now, as I generally sell more than 50% of what I enter into exhibitions and all that is doing is re-couping the money I have already spent to make the items. If you are too sick to enjoy or even make the items that defeats the purpose as well. I would encourage you to stay healthy in mind and spirit and finances by selling some of your creations.
