My love for crafting awakened my creativity which has helped me greatly in my career as well as being a blogger. You do not need to do this full time, because I feel the additional pressure of earning a living and making what sells would stifle your creativity and cause aversion. Instead of wasting countless hours surfing net or admiring other crafters/ painters, why not you explore your own creativity through your favourite crafts?
Crafting, like baking is extremely therapeutic. When I was young, I had to venture to far places to source for craft supplies which are expensive. I am amazed now that nowadays, some of these items sell for a fraction of what I used to pay for.
