A new Year, and new ideas
a year ago
As I am acknowledged by California as disabled, but because of my work history (and lack thereof as least in the timeframe they want) I don't qualify for government aid.
So, I am working on ways I can make money from home. A good friend who I often bounce ideas off has suggested using my ceramic skills and make small but likeable figurings ..... I'm liking the idea but I need to research the best way to do that from my home (While I'd LOVE a small kiln, don't have the funds for that)
My crochet is still a slow moving project.... while I love amigurumi but I'm slow and I don't know many I need to make before I can sell any. Something to work on, I suppose.
My friend was also interested in astrological signs in my style.... I should finish coloring my Chinese Animal Zodiac pieces. The were designed for my 3" button machine and I don't see many BUTTON sales these days with art so maybe its time to bring those back.
Ideas are many, inertia is to be overcome.

Making and selling totes and bags is also a reasonable at-home craft. Some online sites I'm reading suggest that good quality handmade quilts can sell for anywhere between $25-100 per square foot (about $1000-$4000 for a queen size quilt).
Making fursuits is definitely an option, and we all know how much those can sell for.
