Has anyone had a hobby you do at home that you loved so much it became a "career?"

I know. Wouldn't that be the ideal job? Just spend other peoples money making beautiful living spaces. I could dig it.

That would be fun, decorating. But I have very eclectic and whimsical ideas. No one would hire me.

I have several hobbies but this one is new; I think I am going to love it.....I'm going to make reborn dolls...I know a lot of people think they're creepy but they don't bother me; I think they're cute....at least from what I see in photos, I've never seen one in "real life," no pun intended.

I think it is possible to do this, but not probable. Very few can make it work, IMO.

It doesn't matter, I'm going to do it for the fun of it. I think I will enjoy the process.

If it paid to just sit quietly & contemplate Life, I could make a fortune.

Not a "career", but my gardening has grown into selling a few herb, vegetable and flower plants locally from my greenhouse. Doesn't feel like work -- more a labor of love. But I sure wouldn't mind if it continues to grow into something bigger.
