Crafting

I have noticed that some of us have crafters...how does one go about doing that in RP..I mean we still have to wait for approval,(if we were creating something new) so do we drag out the creation process while we wait for that, dont start it till approval..what is the proper Etiquette here?

(Im leaning towards not starting it till it is approved, but I figured I'd ask)

I'd say don't start until you get approval. This will keep complications from occurring. For example, you start creating an item that is far too powerful and then the item is rejected, so you have to go and delete the RP posts making the item, etc.
