They don't know the diffence between my JOB and my HOBBY and that I don't want my LOVE to become my WORK. It is nice to know that they think highly of my skill and that my projects would appeal to buyers, but I don't need to make money that way. At this point in my life I would rather make what I want and gift to those that are deserving. They don't understand my way of looking at it ---- they think I'm sitting on an untapped gold mine and not raking in "easy money" LOL They probably think I'm either lazy or crazy --- or both! Oh well....
So I'm not alone in this . . . see what their hobby is & see if they want to start selling it??? When I tried to get my friends to teach bridge or golf they did not get my point. Hobby means no profit. enough said right.?
