Meshing the old and the new

I find myself, after 13 months of being "mom", still trying to find ways to incorporate parts of the old me into my new life. I spend a lot of time trying to think of clever and funs ways to contribute to our finances, both for the obvious reason, and to feel productive. What this ends up meaning, so far, is thinking of something, spending a bunch of money getting ready to become productive, and more withdrawals than deposits in my bank account! Obviously whatever I do to earn money has to be something I can do in the far from consistent pockets of time I get from time to time. So it can't be anything that requires an immense amount of concentration, it must be something I can stop and start, and something with no deadline! (Got any ideas?) This week's idea (borrowed from my dear cousin, who has made a success of it) is to create original works of art out of polymer clay. This concepts fits all of the above criteria, and some of the work, the "coming up with ideas" part, can be done while child-raising. There are, of course, other "old me" concepts I occasionally try to incorporate, such as having friends and spending time with people. But the clay is more reliable.
