Of course we undervalue ourselves when we do this! But look around your home right now!! It will be a rare person who hasn't whiled away the hours looking at CHEAP and CHEAPER and CHEAPEST stuff, trying to decide whether they can get something for $1.49 at WM or do they feel duped when they wander into Dollar Tree and find it for a buck.... More Made in China prices so we can have MORE!!! WE treat our own money like that...HOW MUCH of stuff can we get, not necessarily how GOOD of stuff can we get .....
Look at the number of threads that come and go stating that X fabric store vs Y fabric store and the quality/cost of fabrics, with and without coupons, how we won't buy good fabrics for a quilt because it's JUST for a baby (the quilt that will receive the MOST wear and tear, washing machine hours, etc) And WE know that it takes time and skill, and effort, and honestly, running to Macy's on Christmas eve and grabbing a sweater for $30 for Aunt Jo is probably going to make her just as happy as slaving over a design/fabric choice/quilting pattern and tying up $200 for a quilt for her....
So, yeah... lol
