people who are against it tell me, "you cannot earn a living selling bracelets"?
you would be right if i were selling just bracelets…but i sell a whole range of almost 50 items, in jewelry, friendship bracelets, knitted items (scarves, hats, headbands, rugs, ect) crocheted items (scarves, rugs, hats, ect), kandi bracelets, woven squares, sewn dolls, upcycled and downcycled crafts, and i will also be selling mosaics, pottery, photography, cross stitch, and crafting supplies not sold at craft supply stores such as plastic bottle tops.
so why do people make it seem like it is impossible to make a living crafting? also, i will NOT be just crafting. i will have a job at a craft supply store, and also be donating clothing and appliances to charity to get tax deductions and i plan on having a few instructional and story books done in my free time.
so, i am confused, why do people talk to me like i am just going to sell one item?

it’s probably just people that are concerned for your ability to make it and prosper. As a mother of a young adult daughter I understand the concern. As a fellow craft-er struggling to make a living I say go for your dream! If it doesn’t work out at least you tried! What’s that saying about if you never try anything- you’ll never know what it’s like to succeed? Just remember that in crafting- you can get sucked in to the "gotta make a bunch of stuff to sell this weekend", and get away from your love of crafting. When the love of it goes away- usually so does the beauty of your talent.

Because based on facts and what we see today, you will make a very small living, where you will be only to afford cheap things. Even with your job at a craft store. Cross you fingers you story book earns to money.
