That is wonderful, and you certainly are good with making things like this! My wife and I bought a teal coloured rug similar to this for our living room and it cost a fortune, and here you are making them yourself! Ever thought about a business opportunity?

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi Ken

Thank you for your nice words. I have been asked to make throws for people and they have offered to pay me for my time and the materials. But I do it for pleasure really so there is no pressure.

I love making things and when I give them as presents there is nothing more rewarding than seeing their faces light up.

Sometimes the cost of making things make them difficult to price up. The Swedish weave throw I made cost me without any of my time £100 not sure anyone would be prepared to pay that before my time of making it was added,

But thank you for the compliment

I think the goods that you make are worth money! As they are really good! My daughter makes loads of things herself, especially cards and picture frames and she loves it.

I used to make card but gave up this year after 10 years raising money for tuberous sclerosis association. Through card sales and various sales etc I managed to raise over £8900. But finished this in March this year. I have been trying to sell all my. And making items but as so many people sell cards these days I still haven't managed to sell anything and have 1000s of peel offs lol.

I have just started tapestry haven't done that for over 15 years. Going to make a cushion cover I hope.
