Crafts

I've been getting back into crocheting again.  I go through phases with it.  For months, I'll go non-stop, making blankets, hats, all kinds of things.  Then I'll need a break for a month or so.  I'm back on again :)  I just finished a sunglasses case for my aunt, which I completely forgot to take a picture of, and now I'm starting on a blanket.  I've also been thinking about getting back into jewelry.  It's been quite a while since I've made any and Kathye was here recently talking about how we should make some together and I think that was enough to me wanting to do that again :)  I've been thinking about trying to sell my crafts again.  I've tried selling online before, on one of the more popular selling sites, and didn't have a lot of luck because people want to pay pennies for homemade things and I cannot put that many hours into something, like a blanket, and sell if for that cheap.  Maybe I should give craft shows a whirl.  There, people know the time it takes to make some things and expect to pay a reasonable price.  The last one I went to, there was a woman who'd made it quite the business for herself.  She even had a epson receipt printer to give people receipts for their purchases.  I was pretty impressed with her and would love if I could make some decent money selling my items.
