Some days we feel tired. Some days we just want to enjoy our Hobby and not think about making money from it. Some days we just want to make what WE want to make. I say GO FOR IT! Everyone needs a reset at some point and handmade sellers are no exception. Put a reset day on the calendar - make only the thing you WANT to make without considering profit margins, marketing, trends or niche - make things that appease your own maker's heart and enjoy the way it feeds your creativity and reinvigorates your love for your business. Then, keep on making awesome things from a fully-fed artisan spirit. (at The Crochetpreneur)

Are you ready for craft fair season? The most common question I receive is "how much inventory should I bring?" While the answer will be different for each business and each fair, these tips will help you determine what's best for you and your business. Includednis a link to join the CrochetPRENEURs and download your free Pricing and Inventory excel spreadsheet. Just plug in your sales goals, product details and quantities and the form will do the rest. Learn the suggested wholesale and retail prices, track inventory, discover the amount of inventory you'll need and determine how much more inventory you need to create to meet your goals. Instructions are included but a basic understanding of excel is helpful. I think you'll find this an invaluable resource for your handmade business, whether your handmade business is crochet or not.
