Crochet me some cash

I want to make a blog about crocheting and knitting - but not ONLY crocheting and knitting, ya know? I've been looking at other crochet content creators and their whole blog is just free patterns. No personal stories, no other topics but crocheting (or knitting). Is that the only thing their visitors want? Conversely, cooking websites have 10 page essays before you get to the actual instructions. All of this to say I'm still trying to figure out how much of my life will be told online.

As the title implies, I want to use my hobby to make me some extra cash to buy more yarn. Only fair, tbh. Would anyone be interested in buying my crafts in these trying times? Maybe if you know more about me and what I'm working on...?

I used to pay a lot of money for this website to be an ecommerce site but i made exactly two sales, so it had to be downgraded to a fancy, poorly-run blog. I could always re-start my Etsy shop but they take such a big chunk out...I'll figure something out. Don't worry about it.

I'm always two clicks away from re-starting my tumblr blog because I just like the layout options and I see some crazy talented artists run their whole online presence on tumblr. That means it must be good luck. But that's dumb, I can just to that here. Right?

Anyway, it's once again that time of year where I wallow in self-pity that I'm not yet a famous artist or at least making a some extra cash from my art. I feel like a lot of my freelance work is primarily tech-support. But if all my art is still in my head, I'm not going to sell it to anyone. With that in mind, I've made a loose plan to get myself back on track. I'm hoping within a year I will make a good dent in my self-loathing and make progress with my art goals. My first habit-goal is to be 1% better everyday. In some way. It doesn't matter how, so long as I don't miss more than one day in a row. And part of this goal is to use this blog like a tumblr. In the off chance someone is actually reading this, please come back and see if I am indeed posting about my progress. I will also be posting on instagram (but just the good stuff). And everything else goes here :)
