I have been thinking for a while now about starting to make crafts to sell. Ultimately, I'd like to cut back my time working - to seasonal or part-time (wouldn't we all), and make a little extra cash doing what I love the rest of the time.

An Etsy shop is the obvious choice, but Etsy has become so overwhelming, it's easy for one shop to get lost in it. So, what to do?

There are some great and simple ideas for getting your name and product out there for people to see. It seems a little less daunting now. The next thing I need is time to get everything set up...
