Crochet Me Crazy

I've been toying with the idea of starting an online shop on Etsy. I'm not sure that stuff will really sell though. I also don't want to sell things that are extremely time intensive to make because people don't tend to want to pay what a handmade item is worth. Even my slippers that I am selling at the consignment store, I let them go for $10 a pair. I'm fine with that on those particular slippers because I bought the yarn that I made those from on clearance. They were just sitting in a box anyway. However, if I were to start making them and purchasing the yarn at retail (they are made from the soft, expensive, novelty yarn from Hobby Lobby $6-$7 per ball) plus you add the 2 hours it takes to make them, and it's just not worth it. I always have people tell me I should sell the things I make, but I'm just not convinced that it would be worth it. I've sold my aluminum can hats for $10. For now, while I'm having fun making them then I can accept that, but cost of materials and 2 hours of work....not much profit in that at all. Anyway, I've considered this before and the idea ended up falling by the wayside.
