I tend to underprice my efforts as well but when I'm doing things for friends and coworkers and I know they really appreciate and enjoy my work, I'm happy to make a small profit. I've been given more money than I ask for as well, and gift cards, and cookies, and taken out to lunch and so on which is just as nice.

I am happy for you. That lady valued your time and effort.
I know how I felt so sorry for my mother when she would quilt beautiful quilts for ladies and only got $2.00 an hour. She would sit stopped over the quilting frame for hours on hours working on these. Just trying to make a little extra money after Daddy died. Some of the ladies would give her a little more, but most used her. Mama was afraid if she charged more, noone would ask her to quilt and she needed every penny she could get.
So, I hope you can sell many more.

that was the way when a member of my quilt group asked me to make a 21st birthday card for her niece. I thought that 3.50 would cover the cost of the 3D flower but she gave me $5 she said it was well worth the money because I did a real good job. I am only learning hoe to do cards.
I am glad that you were paid well. it does prove that not all think you come from China and can only get little money for your work. well done you :thumbup:
