I have been working feverishly to create items for my online store that can be found here and here. I have sold several items on ebay recently and have even sold some items directly to interested individuals.
The key was finding what people wanted to buy and not concentrating on what I wanted to make.
Also, price control has become an issue for me. If it is priced too high, no one wants it, even if the item is hand-made. If it is priced too low, then the entire market for hand-made crafts is diluted.

Pictured are Fingerless Gloves/Wrist Warmer Steampunk or Boho Style: Red with black ruffle trim and large vintage buttons, Fingerless Gloves/Wrist Warmer Steampunk or Boho Style: Blue chenille, lace trimmed with vintage white/rhinestone buttons, Ear Warmer in shades of teal and gray, and an Ear Warmer in shades of light gray with a large crocheted flower.
All of the items are hand-crocheted by me and listed for sale on the internet.

I was born in the 1950’s, live in a 122-year-old house in Virginia, I am retired, have an alcoholic brother living in my downstairs bedroom, and spend a great deal of my time writing. I have lived through the Kennedy assassination, civil rights, Neil Armstrong on the moon, and 9/11/2001. I have seen the Vietnam war, the war in Middle East, the war on drugs, Star Wars, and the war between men and woman. I have written hundreds of short stories and essays and a handful of novels. Only one novel was (self) published and one poem published in a collection.
I crochet, cook, have a veggie garden, an herb garden, a chicken coop full of chickens and I’m not afraid to try new things. I am not sustainable because I live in a city with a city-sized yard. Even with all of that, my favorite tool is my keyboard.
