How do I know if I am good or not,, how do I find my “it” craft?
Over the years I have tried and coquered dozens of crafts from knitting to painting to pottery and know how to do a bit of each, but I haven’t found the one that I am really good at. I am definitely an artistic person. I really want to hone a craft and make a living from it, any tips or ideas for finding that “it”

I am going to give you a list of things I always do for you to look at. There may not be anything in there that you haven’t tried and hopefully something that you may want to try. Don’t forget there are so many things you can do and haven’t given a chance to. Did you try to knit, crochet, or sew. With these three and the painting you mentioned there are lucrative opportunities for you in the designing field. People pay for new ideas in knitting and crocheting items that can be worn. Sewing….Designing clothes not just for adult female but for the others that are not mentioned, men, boys, girls, and babies. There is a wide open field for the little people who are adults but have to resort to wearing children’s clothes. Have you tried to paint pictures on t-shirts or other types of clothing? I hope there may be something I mentioned that may be your “IT” or maybe it can be in this link. Scroll down to find the free lessons.
