Put the right price on yourself and the worth of your craft - otherwise you are underselling both. You must not work for slave labour prices, but you also have to be realistic about the prices you put onto the items. I think they should be admired and used and not put in a cupboard, and you can always take photos of what you do.
The first time I started selling, some people thought I was putting too high of a price on things, but I don't worry now, as I generally sell more than 50% of what I enter into exhibitions and all that is doing is re-couping the money I have already spent to make the items. If you are too sick to enjoy or even make the items that defeats the purpose as well. I would encourage you to stay healthy in mind and spirit and finances by selling some of your creations.

I would love to see some of your things. By the sounds of this group, many of us would jump at the chance to buy your wonderful creations.

I totally agree. Your health must come first. And taking pictures of the things you sell is a good way to still be able to "see" them.. I take pics of all the quilts I give away as gifts. I don't think I am good enough to sell my stuff.

There's nothing wrong with selling your creations. Lots of people would jump at the chance to buy a wonderful handmade quilt. Just don't sell your work too cheap. That hurts everybody, especially you. To get a good idea of pricing, look at some of the prices on Etsy for comparable pieces. I sell bags on Etsy, and needlecases, but I will tell you there is SO MUCH STUFF listed on Etsy that it's hard to get your items seen... It takes a while for things to sell, usually. If you have a local shop that would take them on consignment, they might move faster than on Etsy.

Your Dh can wrap himself up in one of your creations to keep warm. and look at the pretty pictures you've made But can they love him hold him and kiss him I think not your way more important to him the the pretties you make for yourself . TAKE YOUR MEDICINE and be there for him.

You need the meds, and sometimes if you contact the co. they will send you forms and you can get them or at least some of them free. It would be worth a try.

Not everyone can do handwork like you do, so if you can sell some it would make someone else happy and please buy your meds.

I am a nurse and try to assist patients in getting help paying for medication. It is not likely you will get assistance with your medications if you have private insurance. I often see people place more importance on their posessions and lifestyle over medication, but you have nothing more important than your health. How would you feel if you ignored your current heatlh issues and became a burden to your husband.
If you are interested in selling you should go to Etsy, you will get a better price and find an audience that will appreciate your work.

I second the motion! Take your medicine. Sell your beautiful pieces of work to people who appreciate their value and can't do it themselves.
