With the economy in the slump it is in, selling handmade craft items has not been easy. Items like goat milk soap still sell of course, but the rag rugs did not, which really suprised me. I gave them as Christmas gifts with the exception of the one pictured above, which I still have for sale.

The people whom I gave the rugs too really enjoyed them and made quit a fuss over them. In the spring, once the sheep are sheared, I will spin their fiber into yarn. With that yarn, I think I will make a rug. One to keep – maybe one to sell.

Of course, the loom is not empty. There is yet another rug on it being made. The economy will improve. These items will sell again. I have thought of joining Etsy. Anyone have any experiences with them to share?
