I normally wouldn’t self-promote on here, but I’ve decided I’m proud of my creations and I want to share.
Meet the Rainy-Day Worms! They make amazing fidget toys because they’re made of soft anti-pill fleece. That means they’re relatively durable and won’t make a lot of noise. They’re also the perfect shape to squeeze, twist, and fold. There are currently seven worms available in my Etsy shop, which is always linked in my bio.
Buying a worm or even spreading the word will help immensely to support my tiny business. At the risk of sounding corny, you will also be supporting a young autistic woman’s dream: making others smile with her silly handmade toys.

The sun loving agapanthus is also known as African lily or lily of the Nile. Whatever their name, they look spectacular in any garden and are great to draw.
My drawing is available here☺️👇

thinking about how I had a few folks at my last market suggest to me (kindly and with good intentions) that I make and sell some versions of the hand knit cardigan I was wearing because people would "totally pay $300 for that!"
I appreciated the sentiment, but people don't understand what goes into handmade clothes! I don't use a knitting machine. Every stitch in that garment is created by hand on needles, and the sleeves were brioche. Even using inexpensive acrylic yarn for the whole project, and accounting for the HUGE sleeve stitches (saving me time making the sleeves)—the material cost was $55 and the labor was well beyond that.
Let's conservatively estimate the cardigan took me 30 hours to create. Currently, when pressed to put a dollar amount to my time, I use the living wage as a baseline and then go up from there $1/hour for every year I have been actively practicing that particular skill. In the case of knitting that would be 11 years, and the current living wage in my area is approximately $23/hour. Setting aside the fact that this is calculated based on a 40 hour work week and I don't believe that is ethical or sustainable, we'll just leave it at $34/hour. That would make labor alone $1,020.
This brings the "production cost" to $1,075.
Items are not sold at production cost because that would leave your profit margin at 0%. This is not sustainable because it costs money to run a business (think things like paying for computer repairs, buying tools, the tablecloth you use at markets, paying for a website, etc.). Realistically to cover business costs and still come out with a 7% "net" profit margin, which is just a number pulled from averages in the clothing retail business...
... I'd have to sell that cardigan for $1,350.
So yeah! Something to think about when you see the price of clothes that are handmade. :o)
