Welcome to Craft Talk
I've been a crafter forever - I remember my Mother showing me how to color Queen Ann's Lace for bouquets by leaving the stems in washing blueing until the flowers turned blue. O.K., so, I'm a little older - but that spells experience to me! Experiences I want to share with those who click into Suite 101.

GET YOUR CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING!!
Many complain there's nothing "new" in crafts. Most are crafters selling at craft shows. So when complaints arrive in the mail stating there are no new ideas out there, I want to shout - "You come up with new ideas and designs! Start creating, not copying."

FACTORS IN PRICING
When setting a price, look at several factors: what the competition charges, what a customer will pay and the cost to produce the item. Look at advertising that states prices for items similar to yours. Look at similar products sold by your competition; scout the competitors' prices.

KNOW YOUR WORTH...
Give yourself only minimum wage if you want, but think about the person buying your handiwork. Can you imagine what the individual's monthly salary might be? Do most of your customers make only minimum wage? You are a creative person using your talents to create a livelihood

THE LIVING IS EASY
"Summertime and the living is easy." Summertime is great, but does that make living easier? No way. You can make your living a little easier for the rest of the year by preparing for it. Now is a slower time for many crafters; it's a good time to invest in your own personal development.

YOUR BUSINESS PLAN
It is wise to realize you need a business plan. Many consider a plan as necessary only when they want to borrow money. Writing a plan helps you to think through every phase of your business. Later, the plan is used as an operating guide to follow to implement your idea into the reality of having a business.

COMPETITION
Competition is usually a fact of life. It is rare that a product or service is so unique that someone else is not doing the same thing. Check out competition before starting to manufacture your product. Judge whether there is room for your product.

Cards, Checks & Copyrights
I don't have access to charge cards for my customers. Taking only cash does limit my sales. Many people buy my product and I would like to have them come back for more. My product is my own design and is unique. My biggest concern is that others will steal my idea. Is there a sure way to protect my product?

A NEW START - Part I
Each year I reflect back on negative happenings of the past year and resolve to learn from them. This helps create positive thoughts and adventures to fill in the new calendar. It can be gloomy, depressing brain-kneading, but as I sit and reflect on mistakes made, planning positive ventures is easier.
