I did what you did, when my child was young, I did craft shows for my job. I started out with quilts but they didn't sell, then I made 44" x 72" quillows, the quilts that fold into a pillow and sold about 500 of those. They use to cost about $20 each and sold for $40 with about 1 hour of my time in each. I tied them instead of quilting. This was a time when internet was only ebay and there were people selling little quillows for $5 there. Craft shows can be expensive and if you are serious you need to book the ones you want early in the year since the good ones fill up so fast. I would take the advice here about on line and word of mouth. Get your name out there and maybe book cheap local shows to get your business cards out there.
