efghaus 10 Posted August 19, 2014 Just wanted to say Hi!!! from the Space Coast, Florida. I have been lurking here for a long time. Soooo Sorry about that, but what can I say, I'm shy. I've been a craft/hobbyist for about 5 years. When ever some one complimented me on a gift I made them by saying..."you should go into business, I'd reply, "why?...I really like doing this, but if I were in the position that I HAD ITO DO THIS, I'd probably hate it. I'm about to do my first non-hobby (serious to me) job for a friend from our church who has a small wood working shop. He repaired some of our kitchen drawers for us and wouldn't accept any money from us, so offered to cut some vinyl advertising for his truck. I've been doing a lot of work via word of mouth lately, so this is a step up for us. I prefer to do the designing, cutting and weeding and my husband is the large job application guru in the family. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted August 20, 2014 Welcome from Idaho. Lurkers are great! That just means you know all about the search button. This is the first "Hobby" I have ever had that made money. I went ahead and started mine into a small side business from the get-go but did it almost on a lark just figuring I would probably shut it down after a year or two. Instead I ended up upgrading my cutter and doing even more commercial work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
