I need this story. I quit my job so my husband can pursue his master and crafting has been my way of coping with unemployment. I hope to turn my hobby into a business and it’s good to see that it is possible.

What a good story! I had success with this when we lived in hawaii, unfortunately i closed shop with the move. Good to see other making it. Stained glass is beautiful, my mother in law dabbles in it beautifully, keep trying to get her to sell a few pieces, she is nuts and always gives them away!

Hey, Jenn, thanks for the story on stained glass. It’s great to see someone make a living at this. I know it can be done, but it’s kind of scary to think about. Someday I hope to be at his level.
Thanks again.

A great story! I don’t know if I have what it takes to quit my day job just yet. But it’s so very inspiring to read about others who can!
