Oh, dear. Michael, I didn't think you were advocating breaking the law. My point, obviously not made as well I meant, is this: check your own city and state. I'm sure the specifics, as well as the reporting requirements, vary from state to state.
In Arizona, the fact that something is a hobby doesn't necessarily exclude it from sales taxes. There are also instances where the sale of an item is subject to city tax, but not state tax. The art fairs, craft shows, etc. that I am aware of here let you know in your application that tax licenses are required. Many city jurisdictions offer a short term license to accommodate just this type of activity. It would be an unhappy situtaion to find out some years down the road that you have a tax bill in arrears!
Good luck.
