as I would love to turn this into a full time job but not sure if feasible.
It's tough and not for everyone but it can certainly be done.
The number one thing IMO is to be honest about what it takes.
What do you need to make in a month or week? Can you make what you need to cover all of tour expenses and turn a profit? This will give you an idea of how much you need to make in a given amount of time. Some people find that setting a daily goal is an easier way to track their progress rather that setting an hourly wage for themselves.
Time, and accurate accounting of it, is where most people go off track. You need to be realistic about what it takes to produce your items from start to finish and every step in between. Only then will you know if your prices are right for you,
is there enough profit generated to meet you $ goals. If there is, great, if there's not, you need to adjust something.
Little things like taking your photos can eat up time.
You might be great at making stuff but not too good at photography. All that extra time fussing with the camera, lighting, post processing all has to be accounted for. Maybe once a week you have someone come in and take all the photos for you, it can be cheaper in the long run and lets you stay focused on what you're best at.
Maybe take Jennifer's course, getting first hand info from someone who has done it can be invaluable.
There is no single right way for everyone
Good luck
