then adopt me. I love anything handmade and truly appreciate the hard work put into it.
That said- my dil made me a bow tucks purse. I LOVE it!
Don't feel unappreciated- they will come around.

It almost sounds like they didn't even know you made them as opposed to *store-bought*. Whatever :-( Tell them how you feel. Let them know you thought about each person with love as you made their purse for them. Let them know that if they really don't like them you'll be glad to take them back to give to someone else. Ask them how they feel about your handmade gifts. If they honestly don't appreciate the gifts, it saves you worrying about trying so hard to please them.
While I wish I could please all my relatives with my art, I have found certain people don't take care of these treasures. Quilts torn to shreds by their dogs, stored in boxes under their home in the dirt becoming homes for rats and cockroaches. Yuk! (Hawaii 8-))
So yes! I'd rather save my *homemade* stuff for people who know what they're getting. With this attitude in mind I have no problems telling people if they don't want it or like it? Give it back thankyou. :oops: :oops: :lol:

I think people who don't make things , don't always appreciate them. I never give my projects to anyone who has not said they would like one or they just act like they really like something I have done. It saves my feelings and wasting my time and creativity and helps them not to receive a useless gift.
