thanks Im glad you like them.Its my full time job and the family income so I have no option but to sew fast.In these austere times I dont do much else.I sew at least eight hours every day and spend a couple of hours designing.Luckily I love it but Im not sure I can support us much longer and after 17 years full time I think its time to find an alternative.I have almost given up three times before but Im often saved by the bell!!

17 year? wow. That is something I would like to do, im pretty miserable in my job right now, and whenever I am there Im just consantly wishing to get back home and sew sew sew. hehehe. Dont think Im quite there yet though.

Whatever happens I hope it works out well for you, and it makes you happy.

Just know I will forever be jealous  bear_laugh

Dont be jealous ..although I love making my wee animals Ive never had so much stress and may well lose my house if things dont pick up.Its not an occupation to aim for these days unless you have another income to pay the bills.There is nothing harder than trying to be creative when you cant pay the heating bill.I hated my job but would love to have it back now.Keep it a hobby and continue to enjoy it.

I have a fiancée to pay the heating bill  bear_grin I was the sole provider for 4 years and he has only recently got a job, I think its time the tides turned   bear_grin

I respect what you are saying though, perhaps just a change of job is in order rather than just eliminating it from my life. I think I would get pretty fed up without a job anyways, Its about the only time I get to see people  bear_grin

Ive bought a house ,raised a child and had many rescued dogs all on the money from my animals.I was so blessed to do it at a time when it paid.I hope you can find a job you like being creative.You must post some pics of your work soon
