What specifically would make it not fun for you anymore?
I learned this the hard way. When I was into ceramics or macrame (or any craft), people loved my pcs. & started buying them. I had to start mass producing things & that killed the fun of it for me & haven't done either one since.

For my quilting, I get more fun out of gifting something than selling it. Some people need to do it for $ & I sure appreciate that but it does become a JOB then & not a hobby.
