Do I regret turning one of my favorite hobbies into my job? No, but it has reached a point of burn out many times and I continue to learn what I need to change to keep the love for it.

In the last 9 months I completely changed my life, went through a breakup after 7 years, dissolved my original business in order to claim my art and content as my own, started over in a cute apartment, felt lost, lonely and completely defeated so so many times. 

I have been on an off social media because sometimes I feel safe here, sometimes I just want to forget all about it. Unfortunately, and fortunately 💕🥹, it’s also my job. I am looking forward to feeling more normal again and as driven as I once was. 

One thing that always brings me peace is slowly sculpting with polymer clay. 

So… It may look like completely changing your life, maybe taking a break to think things over, maybe trying something different in between. But If you are a maker/artist selling your creations, don’t let your hobby become a job you dread. And good luck with life, she’s spicy. 

By the way, all the lighter cases I am making (like in this post) are one of a kind and will be sold with the rest of the stuff I make in my next shop drop. Maybe in April, maybe in May. 🌺

Oh and shout out to my fellow ADHDers who have dabbled in many manyyyy hobbies
