Thank you for reminding me i have to take mine.

You NEED to take your medicine. You'll be no help to any finances if you end up in hospital.
Your crafts are sitting in a closet. So you're not enjoying them, so sell them. You'd be surprised what people will buy and cherish. They'll put your art on display and love it for what it is. |
You say you can put a price on your work but you certainly can't put a price on your life! Get those meds!!
Check out a local craft consignment shop & get your work out for people to see - it's time for them to 'come out of the closet'. Post some pictures on the board - if you can't put a price, maybe there are some of us that would be willing to make an offer & your meds fund would begin to grow. |

I have refused to buy it this time to help with finances and my feet and legs are so swollen they look like elephant legs. How could you ever put a price on a picture you cross stitched of Jesus in the Garden of Gethseneme, or the Last Supper or all the pillow covers I have made and put back in plastic bags in the coat closet? I even have stuff in the cedar chest.
And for those of you who think I'm being an alarmist, as a Nurse Practitioner and a Critical Care Nurse, if her legs are that swollen, there are serious issues going on. |

Listen to some of the suggestion people are giving you here and get your medication. Imagine the joy you are giving to those who are buying your art, the joy you are giving to those who love you and still have you around. |
Plus, what would your response be if your mother or one of your children did what you did?

I am with everyone else -above all take your meds!!!
Why not spread the love and care you put into your pieces...there are many folks who arent talented in the field of quilting and would love to start a family tradion of quilts - please pass on your great work - everyone wins!! Someone told me to sell stuff on etsy havent tried myself yet so I cant tell you how it all works. Sell ~get those meds! |
If you are like me and so many others, you have enjoyment in making the things. Selling them allows me to make more. I don't need a profit, my profit was in the therapy. Look on ebay and its easy to set up to sell. Good luck and GET BACK ON THE MEDS>>>NOW.
