Probably the easiest way is to add up the cost of your ingredients, divide that by how many bowls, jars etc you make from that, then add a small amount, maybe 5%, to the individual cost of each one. Nice to hear the exhibition went well. My first hubby used to give stuff away too, a freezer to his sister because she desperately wanted one (I still had food in it!), vegetables that I had growing to feed the family were picked and taken to give to the office girls at his workplace....Arrrgh!!

I would give away ALL my pics, and all my therapy if I could. As it is, I find conversations about money excrutiatingly uncomfortable. Spouse is right though. And your pieces are spectacular! Wish i was closer so that I could come and see them (and you!) for myself. xoxo Oh I know what you mean. I would give away ALL my pics, and all my therapy if I could.
