It?s been a long time since I did it. Yes, I told myself back then that it was a silly hobby, an occupation that really does not reward myself. I have now acknowledged that I was just lying to myself; I was trying to find an excuse to stop devoting time to something that I loved doing, and for what? It was all in an attempt to give myself more time for a work that I barely enjoyed.
We live in the modern world, and finding something that you love to do and earning money with it is a rare thing. Because of that, many people just opt to go for jobs that they are capable of doing even if they borderline detest the tasks that they do. It is true that most hobbies just don?t pay well, if at all. This is all interesting; in my particular case, you see, earning for what I?m doing is far from being unheard of.
There was a time when I liked to venture into craftsmaking; I am a woodworker, in particular. To me, there?s just something that can be had with the natural beauty of wood. Whenever my muse is around the corner, I find that I can cut, carve, or glue them to whatever shape my mind imagines.
Let's get on with my story. Until recently, I preferred the mundanely repetitive task of my job. But then the financial crisis hit, and just to be careful, I began exploring other avenues of gaining income.
So I went to the Internet, and I discovered that there were literally thousands of craft fairs in our country annually. All I had to do was go to a site that listed all events, apply some filters, and ta-da! I could find the ones in my area. It was then just a matter of choosing the right one.
I have been going to these fairs and festivals for several months now, and I must say that I have mostly enjoyed the experiences that I've had. Even if sales are not always good, my experience has been positive overall. And of course, the extra income that comes with it is a nice kicker. - 20767
