Post Subject: Crafty sellers: watchoo got for the holidays?
I was looking at the Real Simple website which showed different gifts under $50, by recipient (moms; husbands, etc.) and some of the stuff they showed made me think, the craftistas on getcrafty make better stuff than that.
So....I'm starting a thread where folks who sell their crafted items (on etsy or elsewhere) can put in a plug.
Reply w/a short desc of the item(s), price, who may be a good recipient, url of where it can be purchased.
I'd much rather buy holiday gifts from the crafty folks here and I bet others would too!

I think it would be bizarre to say "I made this!" when you had your quilt quilted or sweater sewn and blocked by someone else. I mean, if you were wearing that sweater and someone asked you if you made it, you could say, "I knit the pieces but I took it to XYZ Store to have it sewn together and finished." I personally would not feel OK about saying, "Yep, I made it!" It would be like having a "ghost" co-crafter. Just like ghost-written autobiographies are sketchy, so are ghost-crafted items.
There's nothing wrong with using services like the ones xuli describes, but a crafter's gotta be upfront about it.
Perhaps I'm being too judgy, though. When I did a lot of photography, I'd often get the film professionally developed (that's the part where the film is turned into negatives) but then make the prints myself. Developing the actual film is the least artistic part of the process -- it's just a scientific process. I would then make the prints myself, by hand. Essentially what I did there was hire out the boring part and save my time for the fun, creative parts -- taking the photos and making the prints.
On the other hand, part of the cachet that comes with handmade goods or DIY goods is the fact that a person did all the grunt work -- the fun and the not-so-fun.
