Planning the Year ahead

Looking ahead while looking back can give you a bad stiff neck. That's what I have now, a really bad stiff neck. What to add to our inventory, what do we eliminate, where to go, and where not. Oh how I wish these decisions were simple. With the money situation being so tight, how will the craft market be this year? Will people be shopping or just looking for bargains? Nobody knows for sure what the answers are so we, like all the rest of us crafters, will do our best to create and sell to the public.
I think I'm going to try and re-introduce some items that I haven't had out for a few years. I used to sell alot of shelf units of different sizes and designs. These sales died off so I stopped making them and taking them to shows. Maybe it's time to see if I can revive this part of my market. I won't know unless I try so what the heck.
Time to get back to work on the spring and summer items. Our first show is in March and it will be here before I know it. Time sure flies when you're having fun.
