(as in giving new life to my childhood E.T. plush!)<br />Winter is also the time to think about the coming year - this is when most of it is given shape. Once the spring comes, life becomes hectic and time for thinking becomes time for making.<br />Many decisions have to be made concerning festivals, pricing, venues and new products.<br />I have decided to avoid costly out of state craft fairs this year and focus my limited resources of time and money on more lucrative and local projects.
