    I'm still building up a clientele being somewhat new to the jewelry
    business. But even so after 3 years I'm quite satisfied with my 25%
    contribution. Luckily for me I've been self employed for the
    majority of my life and learned to go with the flow and cover my
    tail with other income from other creative endeavors. Previously I
    supported myself and two daughters with a tailoring/clothing design
    business for 27 years but with very simple pleasures. I have the
    expectation with the statistics of past sales, with the poor
    economic situation of our community witnin the past year taking into
    consideration, of increasing my contribution to household finances
    to 50%. Now if current situations were altered I could be
    contributing 100% and live on that with modifications in lifestyle.
    Lisa in rainy NY where the temps are finally above 32 for the first
    time in weeks!!!YA!
