    Question Supplemental income .... are you working on anything?

    We've been talking about whether we will do craft sales again this coming year. We probably will, so dh has begun making some items. I'd also like to put some of my quilts, at least my wall hangings, in the craft sales. I've been working slowly on that.

    Were also working on getting a photo album set up with different items we sell. Each item will be priced, described and will also have the types of wood they are made from.

    Anyone else working on anything?

    Well, since my daycare income will be ending in three weeks, I had big plans to really push the pattern designing. I was really worried about how I was going to replace that income. It's not huge but it does help with the extras. I still plan to work on my designs, continue the teaching (saxophone, knitting and crocheting), contract knitting and crocheting. But, now I've also been asked to cover vacations at the wool store over the summer and work two days a week doing shipping and receiving starting in September. I'll probably give it a try. It's starting to sound almost like a job though so I guess I'll have to rethink it if it starts to infringe on stuff at home.

    I've gotten back into listing stuff on ebay. Mostly to make some money real quick but the best part of it is I'm decluttering at the same time.

    Chriss, I too have plans on designing patterns this Summer.

    After the last quilt I designed and sold my average wage was $6 an hour. It's just not cutting the mustard when it comes to investing time into extra income. not that I don't still love doing it. So I have been thinking of a few new designs to sell as patterns instead to the local shops around town. I'm still in the thought process.

    I would love to see everyones handmade items!
