So great to be appreciated! I also tend to under estimate the value of my talents.
Had an example just this week...my dentist's (woman) daughters are in a wedding today. One dress arrived months ago, other one just came in. Dentist called me, asking if I would be on "standby" to shorten the dress if it arrived. Said yes I was willing. Dress arrived, I shortened the satin outer skirt, the netting underskirt and the lining. And pressed everything. When I delivered it (my choice), the dad asked "how much do we owe you?" I told him $25. which he felt was very reasonable. Guess I should have asked more, as no discounts are given in the dentist's chair! Why do we do this to ourselves?

Good for you , and a treat going to Subway. I always under charge for my quilts and projects. I get so tired of people saying , Oh, that's expensive. I do alot of quilts for charieties, and now I just tell people , to go pick out their own material they want and I will charge $500. to make them a quilt. Yes handmade quilts are expensive.
