Hobbies.....

I'm very fortunate in that respect.

About 3 1/2 years ago, my wife started making polymer clay babies.

The second year I knew we had to claim the income on our taxes, because she had ...wait for it...$6,000 in ebay receipts, next year was 10K, and last year 12K.

Her goal for this year was 20 but she got elected as show coordinator of her "guild" and had to plan the displays at the convention and arrange loging for out of town members. She still may do 10K+.

I had no idea one of a kind dolls was such a lucrative cottage industry.

Hopefully your wife will fare in a similar way :)
