Pondering the future

I've been thinking a lot about the future, what I can do with my crafty and design passions, can i support myself, or at least boost my income now, or when we have children. Is there a market for whatever I can produce, make or even assist with etc and I'm still no further really!

I had a smallish wobble at work after having to update the staff profiles for our department on our website, we now have a graphic designer with 10+ years experience and no older than I am. Why did I choose a non-employable degree, was it simply to paint pretty pictures and have that piece of paper in the end or was I completely not thinking it through for 3 years, probably the latter, that and the fact that most career advisors I saw said that Fine Art was the most transferable of the art degrees, which obviously isn't true in the slightest! But you live and learn, and hindsight is a wonderful thing! So onward!

What can I do then?

Here we go!

The quilt top is finished, I've sewn my last stitch joining all my hexies together. As I did, I was quite nostalgic and slightly sad about not handling my little guys again.
But onwards to the next stage!
(is it like a quilting right of passage, I now have a near adolescent school going quilt waiting for it's final additions and then out into the world eventually!)
