I don't think poorly of you at all. I'm that way with my mother-in-law - her craft work is, like you described, tacky. It is usually poorly made and doesn't match my decor. The dear woman made a quilt for my newborn daughter when she was born. I ended up pulling about 6 straight pins out of the quilt after I had laid my daughter on it!
It is falling apart and I'm fearful of more pins! At least I found the pins before my daughter did. At least her heart was in the right place.
