| Special Order being Returned! | | I don't expect a lot of responses to this discussion but I'm rather upset right now and really need to vent right now.As some of my friends know, I crochet baby afghans. I've been making afghans for over 30 years and have never had a complaint about a single one.For the last year I've been making baby blanket and matching pillow sets and selling them online. I've sold over 20 sets as well as several single afghans. Still, not a single complaint.Well, a little over a month ago I was contacted by a lady with a special request - a different color and design from what I normally do but very close. The stitch I had to use was more time consuming and difficult to do so it took even more time than usual to make the set.I mailed the set Friday and received and email from her today that she is returning the set she's not satisfied with it.... I am upset - I could have been doing many other things rather than working on this set that was not what I would have picked myself (her colors).Ok, for discussion purpose now that I've vented. Have you ever put a lot of time and effort into something for someone else whether being paid for it or not only to have them totally... | |
| | What hobbies do you have? | | What are some of the things you enjoy doing? Do you like to scrapbook, collect stamps or read? When did you develop these hobbies and who was it that got you started in the first place? Do you find your hobbies expensive and how often do you get to sit down and do what you want to do? | |
| | Is there a craft you want to try out or learn? | | As many crafts as I am already doing, I still have some I want to try my hand at.I have everything I need to make paper, except the time! I have also tried paper marbling with acrylic paints, but haven't really tried it much.Is there another craft you want to try? | |
|
| Crafts I would like to try... | | I am interested in trying my hand at pottery and stained glass...although i understand glass work is pretty price to begin...
any ideas how to get started on these two crafts? | |
| | | What are the benefits of having a hobby? | | I like building stuff out of legos. It is creative, relaxing and gives me something to do besides watching tv all the time. I also like doing stained glass, and candlemaking. Some retired people tell me that retirement is not all that it is cracked up to be, but when I ask them if they have a hobby they usually say no.
So, what are the benefits of having a hobby besides the ones I have already mentioned? | |
