I would love to quit my part-time job to spend more time creating and selling my work. But I guess I'm still a bit chicken to do so because my family counts on my bringing home a steady income. So I really must say I really admire those who dare to do so!

That's great!

Great story - thanks for sharing! I loved this part expecially: 'What do you enjoy most about not having a day job? I feel as though I have my life back. If it is a beautiful day, I can take my dogs for a walk in the morning. I get to enjoy the sunshine now, I get to do what I love, what challenges me and I can experience the rewards. Every day feels like a gift I am enjoying fully now rather than wishing minutes away'

You are lovely! I totally know what you mean about the "Are you getting by? yes and no" That is a more accurate answer sometimes! Doing this full time is worth it, but it does not come without sacrifice. Congratulations! That is such a creative goal, to get an out of your flat studio, here is some inspiration for you: http://www.flickr.com/groups/studiomakeover/pool/ XOXO

Ha! I GOT a job to support my habit so I can quit later on! It was something going back to school full time at 52 AND teaching full time AND having had neck surgery. I spend those "free" summers in my studio as much as possible until the wee hours, thinking "ugh" September is almost here. You are awesome! Great story.

Inspirational story! I'm sitting at my desk now wishing I was at home making more jewellery. My dream one ay it to quit my day job to. I'm not brave enough to do that yet & I'm still learing to photograph my work. But I have a little saying cut from my desk top calendar & I look at it everyday; " You've got to create a dream. You've got to uphold the dream. If you can't, then bugger it.Go back to the factory, or go back to the desk." - Eric Burdon. You've made your dream a reality. I wish you well & hoe to be writing my own 'Quit your day job' story soon.

Lovely work and great story, good for you!....however....in your 'typical day' I did not read anything about you actually doing the cutting and sewing of all the bags which is the nitty gritty of your work.....do you make them yourself or do you outsource them?

I love your designs. I have had a hard time deciding which prototypes I would like to put on esty. I make bags also.But after reading your story I think the best choice is to just pick the ones I like and go with it. Thank you for the inspiration.I am not working at this time either and to stay home and make money doing what I have done for years, which is sew, would be a great relief.

Good for you!
