I experienced the same thing with other crafts. I did some jewelry and painting in the past for money, and although I had fun making the first of the designs, when I started doing it for others it became a job and it wasn't fun anymore. Now I have a regular job, when I come home I put it out of my mind and enjoy my quilting (knitting, weaving , spinning). I am totally burned out on the painting and jewelry I used to do.
