    What can we do?

    I started fb after moving across the country away from family and friends. Most of them are on it. I am not on the three forums I am a part of as often as I would like. They don't work well with my kindle and I am not on my office computer as much as I used to be.

    What to Do With Fabric

    I take a large sock, stuff it half way or so with more socks, tie a knot. Then give it to my dogs. They LOVE it! I used to do this when I had cats also.

    Can anyone suggest a basic budget sheet?

    My husband is the spender in the family. So if he wants to save cash he gives it to me to put away(and hopes I remember where I put it) I don't drive and live a ways from town so I have no where to spend it. I will check out all of these great ideas, thank you all.

    Turned your hobby into a business?

    I had someone ask me to make them a custom quilt. I designed it, did several hrs. of searching for the unique materials, figuring my cost, hrs of work, etc. Gave him the price and he said he'd just buy one at the store instead!

    Turned your hobby into a business?

    I love to bake and decorate cakes, all self taught. I don't care to eat cake much though. People think that the price is high but they don't consider the time it takes me to make it, the cost of energy(which I don't add into the price) and the fact that everything I make is from scratch- I don't...

    Turned your hobby into a business?

    These are mainly people DH works with. Most of them I haven't even met. When I used to make doggie crackers I gave samples to friends. They raved about them , many said that their dogs wouldn't eat any treats but gobbled these up. But did they want to pay for them?? NOOOO.

    Turned your hobby into a business?

    I keep getting asked to make wedding cakes. I do it, but I REALLY don't like making them. Too much pressure! Some, when I quote them a price they think it is too much even though I sell them relatively cheap. Then they go and spend much more anyway.
