Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your kind words of encouragement and support.
On the selling question; I might have sold 5-10 items in total out of the hundreds of projects. Most are given away, gifted, donated or used for fundraising. 
Oh, I often do ask for payment in the form of a photograph of the smiling child with the handmade wooden toy as payment in full. 

Life’s Good, Enjoy Each New Day’s Blessings
