    Sue, I hear you. You start making jewelry because you love making
    jewelry, and then find all this business stuff needs to be done. I'd
    say get the tax ID. Work with the appropriate department(s) in your
    state to find out what they expect you to do, when to file, etc.
    Treat yourself like a professional. It's the surest way to make sure
    others treat you like a professional, too. 

    Re sales tax, I think you can go either way. Do whatever makes you
    most comfortable. If you don't like reverse calculating the tax you
    owe based on your retail sales, charge sales tax at the time of sale.
    That gives you a clear amount of tax shown on each receipt. 

Good luck!
Barbara
