Listen to your hubby and be glad your work is appreciated.The only bad experience I have had was a church group asked me if I would embroidery a few fleece throws for them to give to a nursing home.I said okay.When they were brought to me was 42.I did all of them and DID NOT expect pay but a Thank You would have been nice.Never heard how they liked them or anything.I was visiting at the nursing home after that and saw a couple of them,commented to 1 of the nurses and was told that this group gave them and stated that they did all the lovely embroidery.All I can say is Thank You God for blessing me and I will let you take care of the rest.
