Make money doing what i love

I’m performing in A Chorus Line (Connie Wong) and the Wizard of Oz (Nikko/Barrister’s daughter/Ensemble) at the Jenny Wiley Theatre in Kentucky. I’m basically having the best summer ever. :-D

i am from a third world country, and i want to work with performative art. do i have any chance? :P

Music or writing. I’m studying to be a web developer. I think I’d like to do that too. But ideally, I’d just be a vagabond writer or musician.

I absolutely LOVE sewing, and I love my kids…so creating children’s clothes just falls in place. I only recently (for my b-day in Sept ‘05) recieved my first sewing machine. WOW!! I love it!! Now making my girl’s clothes isn’t really costing much less than buying off the rack, but is much more rewarding. Especially when someone on the street or at the park admires their outfits and appreciates them. The girls appreciate them. They are 8, 4, and 2, so being cute is turning into being stylish…and I am having fun moving along with them, but I would love if I could just sew all day everyday and make money at it. Have a studio to go to where I wouldn’t be doing laundry and vacuuming and housework while I am trying to create a new outfit.
My owm shop maybe… but then there’s the money to get started. My hubby has a good job, but we have 4 kids, so we are not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t even want to be “rich”, I just want to know that we can do the things we want to do, and still pay the morgage and send the kids to college. I don’t want to be selfish. I don’t want my kids to do without anything because I was too busy pouring money into something that didn’t come through.
But if I can do what I love everyday, and make a living at it, wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing to give to my children…
Sigh…
