Oh yeah -- I love critique, too. But my mother has ALWAYS pushed me to create a business --- to sell my "stuff". I also paint and in the past did stained glass. Well, every time she pushed me, I lost interest.....mainly because it wasn't FUN any more -- it was WORK! some people just don't understand crafters and how they can just do things for fun. Course, mom cleans house for fun and I do NOT understand that!!!! :mrgreen:
Recently I decided to do quilting for others as a business. I didn't say a word to my mother for the longest time -- by the time I mentioned it to her, I already had more customers than I could handle. :mrgreen: But this doesn't feel like work -- It's FUN! :thumbup:
