I get a fair few people asking me about homemade gifts, which I take as a massive compliment. I love searching for appropriate gifts or thinking about things I've already made and how they could be adjusted to a suitable recipient.
No problem so far. But you see I then get what I call 'hungry eyes' I look at the new idea all shiny and pretty looking and immediately want in on it. Sometimes because I don't think the people understand the vision I have in my head (how can they, they aren't mind readers) so I think they might ruin it, then other times I just want to make it myself - just to prove to myself that I can.
This happened recently. Under the guise of being helpful, after a friend said she had lots on, I suggested I made some flags she needed for our church holiday club. She only asked me to cut the shapes out to save her a job, I may have gone too far...
