    I too have agonized over this and have concluded several things: 

    1.  In making my jewelry, I'm not doing anything illegal to do in
    the home

    2.  I have a P.O. box as my business address 

    3.  My business is almost all conducted through retail art shows,
    for which I pay considerable "rent" 

    4.  Therefore my business is conducted outside the home and does not
    run afoul of the insurance company.

    I suppose this could come back to bite me, but as long as my torch
    does not burn the house down I feel it is a reasonable risk.
