It's just... we're skint, I'm pregnant (again)and I feel incredibly guilty! I'm 18 and didn't get the chance to do my GCSE's or anything... the only skills I have are beady ones lol with a little DIY refresher course I could make -
One of a kind imaginative beaded earrings, bracelets and necklaces...
Personalised embroidered cards (I'd do the embroidery onto fabric and then have it framed in a birthday type card) you could have your mum's favourite flower and a personal message for mother's day for example..
I could do any type of personalised embroidery for example if you fancied having a little pink top for your DD with her name and her favourite animal or butterflies or flowers etc embroidered on it I could find a good quality top and then hand embroider anything on it (not sure it's perfectly legal to sell on other shop's tops though, but charity shops do!)
Obviously personalised stuff would take a bit longer than normal internet shopping, and really I'd need a gallery of examples or a website (preferably free!) and I have no idea where to get those things!
I know it's not the most exciting list of 'skills', but I feel really guilty about spending all DH's hard earned money.. I'd love to know whether you'd be interested in anything, or have any ideas of other beady things I could make and sell?
Sorry about the length!

A bit embarrasing! If I were to make beaded earrings/necklaces/bracelets etc would anyone want them?!
