How many SAHM's craft here?

I was just wondering because when my mom was a SAHM she always crafted so that's probably why I craft. But as i've met other SAHMs, i've only met like 2 others who craft and absolutely no one that has their own little business from home like I do lol.

So am I just weird or do other SAHMs craft, and are there any that craft and sell?

    Mine started as fun lol but then I made stuff for friends and family and everyone suggested selling them so now I do.

    I make sooo many things lol, boutique wipes cases, moby-style wraps, nursing covers, blankets, customized burp rags & washcloths, carseat tents/covers, change pads & clutches, boutique hairclips & headbands, bibs, diaper cakes, etc.

    Lol the list is so big already but I always add stuff to it. It's hard to keep the orders up sometimes but I always do, and I love doing it. Keeps me busy and distracted (diagnosed PPD).

    What do you make?

    I craft, but only for fun.  I started crafting because I was bored one day and now I have a difficulty finding time to do it.  I love crafting, it is relaxing. 

    I taught myself to knit, I sew, cross stitch, scrapbook, and general crafting (wreaths, party favors, etc).

    I craft for fun as well (I also work from home, but my business isn't craft-related). I scrapbook, make greeting cards, crochet, and sometimes make jewelry.

    I sew, but that is about it.  I have a friend who makes handbags and another who makes dresses for children.  They sell them at local festivals, a coop that sells all sorts of arts and crafts, and other gift type stores.

    I craft, but just for fun and entertaining the kiddo.  I knit, sew, quily, make cards and party favors, interior decorating projects...etc.  I work from home  doing software development and website development, so I love to craft and use the other side of my brain...and not be in front of a computer :)

    Me! I do sell, but if you add it all up I donate and gift more than I currently sell - that's mainly because of time constraints, though. I make blankets and burp rags for donation. I sew all sorts of stuff for DD, friends and family. I make hairbows, hairbow holders, I do papercrafting. I love to sew, though, it's my favorite.
