They teach, sell yarn, sell kits, or design for magazines and publishers. When it comes to "make a living" it's all about how we define it.viviannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486437992384547296.post-6872813370539649032013-04-27T13:47:26.639-04:002013-04-27T13:47:26.639-04:00I love your creations!

I never read any of those articles, because they just don't seem doable in my particular situation (2 kids), and I'm home anyway. Glad you dig my monsters too.

(I think there might be quite a bit of blagging going on.) Hope you know what that means. I am lucky, as although trying to build up my craft business, I also love my part-time paid job. However frustrating, I know I would not feel right if I wasn't doing something creative.<br /><br /><br />Hope this makes sense.Ginnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486437992384547296.post-7778287838131579602013-04-26T17:01:16.123-04:002013-04-26T17:01:16.123-04:00I've been struggling with the same kind of iss...I've been struggling with the same kind of issues.

If you look at her pattern sites, there are 18 pages of "patterns", but if you actually counted the different patterns it would condense down to 5 pages? There are multiple listings for the same patterns. One is even shown 4 times on the same page. And, the blog post was written by Etsy, so of course they are selling it in the best light. As to her product, it is pattern printing, not actual products. Her lead time is nil, the patterns are downloaded through Etsy's new device. She carries no inventory, makes no product, has no deadline. All that glitters is not gold, nor do we really know how much of a vacation her life is, or if her shop really supports here lifestyle.chrisknitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486437992384547296.post-84456155767907229102013-04-26T11:28:12.481-04:002013-04-26T11:28:12.481-04:00Excellent post and a message that I too need to he...Excellent post and a message that I too need to hear.
