A co-worker also does weekend craft shows. She is so tired of hearing the word "cute". She should put up a sign, "If you say it's cute, you have to buy it."

At least it gets a comment like cute but if that bothers her she may want to take a bit of the cute out of it.

So, really, what's the problem. Does she make quality stuff? If so, I can empathize. If it is normal craft sale stuff, cute sells.

She puts a lot of effort into making something beautiful and some yahoo comes by and calls it "cute". Cute is something a 4 year old makes out of popsicle sticks and buttons. I don't blame her in the least; it is a truly hideous word when applied to anything adult.

Maybe it's the double usage of the word!

How many of us have looked at something with a sneer on our face and sarcasm in our voice

and said, "Cute!"

Actually the stuff she makes is cute stuff. Not any significant works of art.

wife: "Hey sweetie, come look at how cute this is."

Craft lady thinks to herself, "It's not CUTE, you dimwit."

me: "Honey, don't buy anymore junk."

Craft lady thinks to herself, "Maybe cute isn't so bad..."

Brian, we do shows under the name DAMP (an acronym of our names)...of all the shows we did this year, I think we had one where it DIDN'T rain... At all the other ones, we swore, "If we hear, 'Boy, don't YOU have an appropriate name for today' ONE MORE TIME!!!!!, we'll....." :D
