WOOD WORK CRAFTS

What to do with crafts after done?
I love doing crafts, and want to get back heavily into doing projects. I just love the calmness that it brings to my life. However, I will be the first to admit that I’m far from professional-looking. Some people might be ok with them as presents, but I don’t think I could get away with it to everyone. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do with them after I’m done? I like doing ceramics, painting pottery (which I thought of painting and putting an herb in it as a present), painting wood things (like jewelry boxes that you get at Michaels, etc), suncatchers, bead work… I’m just afraid my husband is going to say “And what are you going to do with that when you are done?!” …and I won’t have an answer for him! Help!
I can do a good job on crafts, but I’m not too sure it is re-purchase-from-someone-with-taste worthy. 
I love all these answers!! I’m going to leave this up for a few more days and then put it to a vote…I can’t decide which answer I like more!!
Donate them to nursing homes and hospitals and retirement centers – You get a ton of practice and at the same time brighten the lives of many people who may otherwise be forgotten – they treasure a handmade gift because they know your time went into creating it -
Maybe you will get friendly enough that you can organize craft days with some of the retirement residents – Your projects become even more theraputic and you are filling your hands with good deeds……you can never have too many of those
