I might quit my job. I don't get to spend enough time with family. I work a lot for low pay. I like old school punk music. I don't have the time to go to vacations because of my family. I really enjoy Green Day's music. I love Nirvana and 90's rock and grunge music. I would love to go see live music again. I am not in a good mood about my job. I don't have good work-life balance. If I quit my job, I would like to have a new job lined up first. If I was not working as much, I would do more of my woodworking hobby. I am passionate about woodworking. I have been thinking of making it a second source of income.
I was a veterinarian, but quit. I like to travel. I am a singer. I am a blogger. I like folk music. I have a dog. I like to hike. My favorite Travel destination is Maldives. I am planning to go to Bora Bora. Me and my band is planning to create music next week. My favorite band is probably Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. I like Mumford and Sons. I am focused on performing and recording. I see local acts when I travel. I previously quit my vey job. i did not have another job lined up. It has given me more time to work on music. I would like to make some income with my music and my band soon.
I have been thinking about our last talk and I think I want to try to sell some of my woodworking projects and see if I can cut my hours at work.   Oh that's great news I'm so happy for you! Its always best to follow your passion! Have you made anything good recently? I made an adorable elf man that I love. Thinking about making a serious of them. Kinda like garden gnomes. Do you think that would sell on Etsy? Cool! That sounds so great. Personally, I'd love to buy one, I love elves. So if I'm any indication, I think there's surely a market. Have you sold any of your work before? Not really. When I was younger I used to make them as gifts, but I think I am much better at it now. What kind of elf would you want? The one I made was a female painter with a smock on, but I would love to get ideas from other people to really expand my work. Oh wow, there's so much scope for a series with those. I'd have to think more about it but i'd love a chef or a librarian. How long do they take to make?  Yes! Loving these ideas already! It depends on the size. I can make 2-3 4" ones a day, but I think it would be smart to do some large ones as well to make the big bucks. Those can take over a week depending on the amount of detail. Wow I was imagining it would take weeks to do even small ones, you must be really good at it! I think this whole idea is such a good move for you. But yeah definitely make some big ones too. I'm sure etsy would go crazy for them. How did you come upon elves as a subject matter for your craft? I was just tinkering around. I have no affinity for elves...well, until now. They are cute and it is nice to be able to personalize them for people. Yeah the possibilities are completely endless. But yeah elves are great. I can imagine detailing the faces must be hard though? I think I may need to start looking at random images of faces online to really be able to provide some variety. I am one to get stuck doing things a certain way. It may take me longer, but would be worth it.  Oh completely, I used to paint and I always got stuck on particular faces. But yeah I think as much variety as possible would be the safest bet on etsy so you can make sure you're making enough to cover what you would have been earning at work.
