Working from home and doing something you love AND getting paid for it--that's a dream come true. But there is a reality to it. DH lost his job 2 yrs ago and started a consulting business from home. Thank God the work is there. But-there's always a but--you have to be prepared for down times. He may work on a job for 6 months and not get paid until the end of the project. Can you do this? The regular bills come in on schedule but the paychecks don't. It really takes discipline and financial planning. If this isn't going to be your only source of income and you can still pay what bills you must on time. then go for it. Don't count on future, steady, continuous income. We don't--it's more like feast or famine: too much work for a few months, now none. Don't forget, after the Christmas rush of people getting their quilts done, there will be a drop off of business. Can you survive that?
I really hope if this is something you want to do that you do it!! Just thought I'd point out some pitfalls of a home-based, owner-operated business. There's lots to think about. Good luck!!
