    Jewelry making is a good way to make a little money out of a hobby, but of the people that I know that have tried to monetize their hobby have not been able to make a good enough amount of cash to really make it seem worth while.

    I would agree the money you make doesnt really pay you for the time spent etc ....... but I do it mainly for R&R ....... I have 3 kids and I also childmind so I love nothing better than getting cleared up in the evening and having ME time pottering around with beads ....... and if I am able to sell them and make a small profit I am able to buy more beads ..... I love seeing the postie come with a parcel ......
    Last year I made enough to pay for a good bit of my family's summer hols so I am not complaining

    Can I just say a huuuuge thanks to BOBS for posting this. We are about to sell our second house (complete on Weds, fingers crossed) and OH has promised me a beady spending binge:rotfl: Silly boy
