Me and my friend are both into art and such, and in the past ive done small craft sales to raise money for charity with my other friends so i suggested we could do something like that to raise a bit of money for ourselves (donate half to charity if we make enough) since im saving up for a laptop. So now shes turned it into something much much bigger than i had planned. She wants to make all sorts of different things, most of which i dont think we have the skill for (such as paintings or carvings) or the money for (t-shirt printing) and things that i really dont think people will want to buy. Shes even planning for us to start our own buisness. I dont think either of us are good enough artists yet, to sell our work, and she wants to sell our stuff at a really proffessional craft sale that i dont think we'd even be accepted into. Ive tried explaining this to her, but she wont listen to me. Shes really stubborn and doesnt understand that this isnt the way things work. I tried suggesting we sell some custom dolls or gift baskets online through deviantart (using paypal) or something, where wed probably have better luck. but she wont listen to me. Should I try being more assertive or should I just let her deal with rejection? I cant just say no now, becausen shes already spent a ton of money on supplies and fabric for sewing.

Some people are stubborn and have to learn that they're being unrealistic the hard way. If you want to give her another venue for her crafts, etsy.com is a marketplace purely for handicrafts, art, and antiques.
