Calling all artists – we know that we do what we do because we love it. I could crochet till the cows come home – and often, they are long tucked into their cozy beds and I am STILL crocheting. But what do we charge when we sell our goods? If I charged even $5 an hour on labor for the large blankets I’ve made for friends, the blankets would literally cost $1,000. Anyone want to comment – as an artist or as a consumer of homemade, handmade goods? What are your guidelines as someone who is selling or buying?

Maybe you could check and see what some sell for online. Some of them I’m sure cost a good bit of money. Try google and type in handmade crochet items and see what comes up…..good luck.
Oh, I LOVE that!!! 🙂
