Preparing for My First Craft Fair

Oh Boy!

I know there's a ton of other posts out there from a ton of other bloggers, but why not add just one more? Getting ready for my first craft fair I’ve noticed a learning curve I hadn’t been expecting. How should I price my items? How many of a certain item should I make? How many in what colors? What are the popular items of the season? 

And after spilling into indecision for a little while I came up with my final answer.

It doesn’t matter.

Should I try to make what I think will sell? Yes, most agreed. But if I try to focus on what I think will sell I’m no longer making the things I want at that time and then this turns away from a fun hobby that I enjoy to a stressful job I dread to work on, and I’d rather chase the serotonin not the cortisol. Why sweat the small stuff? Especially when it’s all small stuff.
