    Question Is your crafting a part of your supplemental income?

    Yes, both my quilting and dh's crafts supplement our income. I've done hand quilting for dd's music teacher and have made extra $$ that way. I do plan on making some wall hangings this year for our sales.

    Dh's crafting is a major part of our supplemental income.

    At one time I made extra money doing crafts. With a busy schedule now however, I dont have as much time. I made about $400.00 at Christmas time selling those lighted gift boxes and Friday, got an order for two more. I am planning to do some pin crafting and make a little extra money with that here in the very near future.

    Years ago when the boys were little I went to a few craft shows with wreaths, decorated baskets and Christmas decorations. Now it's for gifts and my sanity!!

    I used to many years ago at craft sales with my sister. Not so much anymore. I prefer making the crafts than having to do the selling part.

    Floral design was a great freelance job that supplemented my income. I haven't freelanced in a few years, but I will again sometime.

    It could be if I was serious enough about it....... dh always tells me we could sell stuff but it takes a lot of time and I don't always have the time or energy to paint!!
