That describes me to a T. I've always been a creative person and ached to enter art school (but was discouraged by my art teacher who said "your going to starve" ... that's a pretty rude awakening <g>). I had several serious hobbies as creative outlets, mostly breeding dogs (it's a science and an art!).
Recently I've been struggling at work because I'm just so TIRED of accounting. It's boring me to pieces. I scour the want ad's for a job working with my hands, creating, repairing ... something tangible. So ... I buy and fix up old sewing machines until a famous quilter knocks on my door and says "I need an assistant, I'll pay you and give you benefits". Don't worry ... I'm not quitting my day job yet.
