I think that the crafting market has been oversaturated and with tougher economic times, people are just not willing to spend a lot even on wonderful crafted items. They are browsing and commenting but are just not buying. The time and money you would spend to produce quality items would not be returned with $ you need for a home income. I also think that having to sew a certain item and make it over and over would definately take the thrill out of any stitching hobby. You'd make more money running an in home day care or doggy pet sitting than you would sewing craft items.
