Seriously, your buddy's problem isn't selling crafts, it's not setting rules! You can totally sell some without turning the whole thing into a chore.

Totally! My friend did some volunteer graphic design in college and like six years later someone tagged her saying it inspired them to start designing. She was so shocked it still mattered to anyone.

Marrakech courtyards are basically goat magnets during work hours. Your story is exactly why I love remote work from weird places. It turns normal calls into unexpected adventures. Having to keep a straight face while a goat bleats is a skill we all need now. Clients never know what's really going on behind the mute button. That local background noise excuse is pure gold.

Seriously! I get the same grief for my hot glue cliffs, but @jennifer_thomas38 is right, the ugly method works when it holds up.

Ugh, that's the worst feeling. We've all been there thinking 'yeah, that looks about right' only to realize our eyes are terrible judges. I finally broke down and bought a cheap machinist's square for stuff like that, because my 'good enough' was never actually good enough.
