Are there any crafts projects that you want to keep for yourself even though the

There is a particular style of hat that I started making about a year and a half ago that is very popular among my friends, and even outside of my circle of friends. It's patterned off of a hat that was worn by a character in one episode of a short-lived TV show. I've made these hats as gifts, and also sold them to some of my friends and acquaintances, and I've sold a few to complete strangers as well. :) They are fun to make, but a bit time consuming. Recently, I had an order for two hats from one of my acquaintances, and this meant I had to send him the one that I was trying to sell online, and make another one. When I got done, my fiance asked me where my hat was. I told him I didn't have one, that I had given away or sold all of the ones that I had made to be "mine." He was really disappointed, and said that the next one that I made had to be for us to keep. Of course, we really need two of them, because we can't both wear it at the same time... :)

I'm currently working on a knitting project....actually it's been a work in progress for many years...that I can't decide if I am going to sell or not. It's based off of Stich and *itches "Poster Boy Bag". My boyfriend helped me create an intarsia chart of James Marsters, who plays "Spike" on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This bag has been a labor of love! It's been about 2 years and it's not done yet....granted I often put it aside for months at a timedue to the level of detail in it. I can't decide if I will sell it or not. I suppose if I find someone who really loves it, and the money is right, I might part with it. It's almost become my "white whale" at this point :-)

I made a cloak in high school. It's long, very full and hooded. It's actually an evening cloak pattern that I used. Dark green satin lining with very deep black velour on the outside. I found a really cool antique looking button to close it with. The first time I went to the Renissance festival wearing it, one of the faire costumers actually offered me several hundred dollars for it, but I love it so much I wouldn't sell it. The cloak is now more than 10 years old... it's had things spilled on it, it's been worn many times, by me and by friends -- one of my cousins even borrowed it for 2 proms. At one point, I didn't have a coat and used it instead. I wouldn't trade that cloak for all the money in the world.
