Et-see

Two years ago I opened an Etsy shop to sell the patterns I was making for felt ornaments/crafts.

This year I've made about $250, $90 of that in the last 30 days. The uptick is due to holidays, mostly, and a wider variety of patterns available.

It's not much, but it's not nothing, either. A few Christmas presents paid. I finished instructions for one (Holy Grail) busy book. That pattern is $10, so if I sell a few...or if it catches on....

I'm trying to finish my others, too. Flying Circus, Star Trek TOS, Firefly, Women of action.

I'm not going to get rich, here, but the income is passive and I've already made the patterns.

Then there was the book, now published....and the follow-up book. Which I sort of said yes to by virtue of asking for a sample deadline schedule. It would need to get started before Christmas, with my final due dates in May.

But it's a project. I need projects.

Then again, I also need free hands.

Passive income stream! That's the thing we're all supposed to have, and you actually do. Good going!

It's a trickle, really, but still!
