Ideas,Ideas and more ideas

So, I have been kicking around some ideas lately. I am stuck in the work field, I just cannot find a perfect fit for my kids and their schedule. So I keep coming back to trying to create a way to make money from home, I have my chocolate idea out there, though I have not pushed it too much because of the heat and if someone asked for it to be shipped that could get tricky.
I am contemplating expanding on my photography skills, but I am such a huge critic of myself that when it comes to anything I touch if it is not perfect I will just torture myself about it. I love photography, if there is one thing I am passionate about it would be this as far as a hobby/potential career goes. My issue is that there is a LOT out there I do not know about it, like how to use photoshop and if I got a better camera I would have to learn all about that so I get a little intimidated there. I know I have the talent or potential to have the talent lol but then equipment is a whole other story and I do not have the money to back this right now, so I would like to maybe just keep it a hobby and work my way into it. I created a blog to kind of keep all my favorite shots in one spot and see my growth. If you would like to check it out you can click here.
Now I have also been playing around with crafts and I found one I really enjoy, anyone who knows me, knows that I adore my kids. I like the idea of making things for kids and maybe selling them, such as tutus and tutu dresses. I found a great site on how to create them and of course with me, I will definitely have to go over the top and make everything to my standard. I can expand on this with little knitted hats, maybe even custom personalized baby/toddler jewelry eventually. 
I have spent months trying to figure out what I want to do, what I can see myself able to market, and what I would LIKE to do for the long run. 
I also do not have much to invest up front so I have to be selective. 
Of course I think to myself that it would be easier maybe to just get back into the work field so I have contemplated getting my insurance license back and seeing what I can do there, my problem is that I have been out of that field for a few years so I don't know how far that will get me. 
I guess I will just feel things out and see what I come up with ..

I also just played around a little on zazzle, the advertisement above my title here is a link to that page, the store name is Raspberry street, if anyone would be interested to see what I have going on there.
Thanks for reading!!
Ok! I finally made a couple of TuTu's and I love them!! Can't wait to hopefully be able to make some for people or even to rent a table at a festival and see how they do. You can check them out there http://raspberrypixiedust.blogspot.com/
