Crafting is a Vocation

That's not a spelling error in my title. I really believe that I have a calling to produce, market and sell crafts. I have made and sold all types of crafts, but I have really concentrated on door wreaths and yard art.

Yard art was always an interest of mine, the simplicity of design and work, and wreaths have a strong market during the holidays. Maybe with the two of them I have finally found a full time job with my crafts. And the best thing about utilizing these two crafts is that the displays are similar and can be quickly set up no matter where I am.

I have had my husband put hinges on found doors so that the wreaths can be hung as they would be in a normal setting and he also hinged four lengths of 5 foot picket fence that works great for the yard art (or silhouettes as they are sometimes called.) The silhouettes just pop off the fence and the doors are all painted unique colors to keep the display fresh and interesting.

When competition is strong I know that my displays make a huge difference. With these easy to set up displays and a great product success is just around the corner or maybe at the next craft show.
