Hi All I actually meant that the vast majority of people would not do everything just for others, without anything for themselves, unless they had the funds available to do it. If they were relying on the income to increase their pension etc, then they would not give it away! Sue in EY

Hi, Jeri - I take your point about people making things and giving them away for charity and other good causes. I have done that myself. But I think what Sue was talking about was making things and selling them for less than cost. That is no way to run a business, and even if we were to do it

Gentle Spiders, I am one of those who make and give away just for the love of doing.  I cannot begin to count the afghans (knitted or crocheted) or the quilts made while being a full time care-giver to my precious hubby for many years.  These items have been given to nursing home patients as well

I learned to make lace from my mother, but she only learned to make it three months before I did. We were both entranced with the idea of bobbin lace from seeing it demonstrated.  Mom had purchased a book and bobbins, but neither one of us really had the time to sit down and figure things out.
