Have you ever looked at something you created and thought, "I wonder if I could sell this?" You’re not alone. Many crafters dream of turning their passion into profit, but often face discouragement from people who see it as "just a hobby." In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey—from crocheting hats to sewing handmade dolls to running a successful craft business. I’ll walk you through the realities of making money with your handmade products, the mindset shifts you need, and the steps to get started. Because yes, it’s possible, and I’m here to show you how.

Starting a craft business isn’t just about making pretty things—it’s about marketing, pricing, and figuring out how to turn your skills into steady income. Whether you’re still in the 9-to-5 grind, selling at craft fairs, or dreaming of opening a shop, I’ve been there, and I know what it takes. This episode is all about the highs, the struggles, and the strategies to help you make real money doing what you love. Grab your notebook, because you’re about to get some serious craft-to-cash inspiration!
