That's not a silly question because in fact you may be infringing on copyright and/or trademark rights with your hand-made items depending on exactly what they are.

You should call your intellectual property lawyer (not your business lawyer) to discuss. If you don't have an IP lawyer, feel free to contact my office for a phone appointment.
