Well first of all no-one is perfect. I don't know that anything I do is perfect in any of my crafts--I am a pretty good cook!!! lol :) I do know what you mean though. I have had people look at my work like it is contaminated (or something). But you know what I think they are weird and I am going to do what I enjoy doing. They won't get any gifts from me. And my husband loves what I do and always compliments me. The ones that are most important to me enjoy what I make and that what is means the most and is most important to me.
