Seven years ago, I made a decision to quit my pursuit of becoming an ultrasound technician, because I believed wholeheartedly that I could make the same amount of money doing what I love—making things to sell. I was inspired by what I saw on ebay that was selling for really high prices— barbie outfits that someone made that sold for hundreds of dollars! I never made that amount. It’s been a long road, but it’s finally come to an end. I have struggled to create a business that would thrive, but it has failed. I have spent thousands of dollars on fabric, sewing and craft items, and endless hours making things, only to see pennies returned to me.
