QUILTING

Making a home business of hand made craft. what would be big sellers?

so in the future im wanting to make an eBay store selling numerous craft things.
anything from Quilts and craft decorated furniture. to scrap booking things. kid’s toys. fairy doll houses and furniture. custom letter signs. wall hangings. craft photo frames… anything really that you can think of.
but i dont want to pour precious time (which with one toddler and one on the way i just dont have) only to realise that no one really wants what i make.
so what sort of craft things are sort after? what do people like to decorate their homes with? any ideas would be great. name as many as you like – its all helpful!
thank you!

I personally make diaper cakes for baby showers. I don’t sell them on ebay, just make them for friends as they are requested, but this last month as i’ve been on ebay looking at decor for my own baby shower coming up next month, i’ve noticed that people get a pretty penny as they sell them. They are simple to make, and naturally, the more you put into it, the more you charge for it. And trust me, people do buy them, that way they don’t have to make them themselves! Just a thought…
