The reasons why I do it....

Just thought I’d share a pic of one of my grandsons enjoying his Christmas from Papa. I tell you friends, this right here is why I make things. Don’t much care if I ever sell anything, as long as I can put smiles like that on the faces of those who receive what I make!!

Same here Roy . I quit doing anything when I went on disability because my dream was to open a shop and sell my products . Then I decided to just make things for the family and friends . The smile and joy is reward enough.

I lost track there for a bit, i decided to make money on my hobby, not good. I am getting back to the reason i enjoy it, doing it for fun!

Horse looks great, grand kid looks happy, what else could one ask for!

Roy,

The delight on your grandson’s face is worth it all!

I agree Roy. Same here when I make one of mine for a little one. Doesn’t have to be a grandchild, ran out of them. I make one for a friend or neighbor’s newest arrival.
