....I love how people seem to think that us crafty genius types can just whip up an amigurumi (crochet doll/soft toy) for next to nothing - $20?! No really, it's a real compliment - it says something regarding how resourceful you perceive us to be - seriously - $20 - that's BELOW shoe-string, isn't it?
How exactly are people estimating these prices - that's what I'd like to know. Let's talk about your job for a second here. Just exactly how much do you get paid to do whatever it is that you do...., hmmmmmmm? How much do you get paid PER hour? And - just keeping that figure in mind - how many hours do you think, just roughly, it would take to create one of these crocheted snugglies? Hmmmmmmm? But perhaps that is the wrong question to ask.....perhaps I should be asking rather just how long do you think it would take you to make such an item? Well.....? I bet you'd like to be paid for e.v.e.r.y s.i.n.g.l.e o.n.e of those hours - wouldn't you? Not to mention materials - that is the 5 plus different shades it takes to create this little creature and give it hair, spots, facial features - eyes, nose, mouth, ears, general detail.....
Just some food for thought.....
