Maybe, but maybe not either
So I have this friend, and she told me today that if I just found a few craft fairs in the area, and sold my craft things there, then I could take time for myself and not feel guilty for it because it would be for work. Now, I don't consider myself to be "crafty". I can't make a wreath out of coffee filters and toilet paper tubes. I can't decoupage a dresser to look like Dr Who's police box. I'm not Martha Stewart. But I do sew, and I crochet, and I like doing it and often end up with a ton of crap and nothing to do with it. Maybe I could sell it. But I don't want to be the person who buys booth space for $20, brings in a bunch of stuff, and then sells only one or two pieces and makes, after the cost of materials, only half the cost of the booth. But if I were going to make things, I do have ideas in my head. I want to make something based vaguely on the ugly fringe bracelet on Project Accessory. And I think I could turn my back pockets into little ID and phone pouches and maybe rig up some way for them to hook to belt hoops. I think if I had the materials and the time, I could make decent stuff. But I'm not sure if people would pay money for any of it. I do purses pretty well
