My hubby and I go through this all the time (he makes wooden toys) I have a hard time biting my tongue sometimes. *just because you could make something for less doesn't mean you did* And sometimes things that look easy are really quite hard -- and that's if you don't have to conquer the learning curve to get the basic competency you need to even try!

Argh! Sorry to rant on your LJ -- this is just one of my big pet peeves.
