WHY YOU SHOULD FORGET THE 9-5 AND MAKE A LIVING FROM YOUR HOBBY For a creative person, the appeal of being able to make a living from your creativity is the Holy Grail. FROM PASSION TO PROFIT: CAN YOU MAKE A LIVING FROM YOUR HOBBY? It has never produced good yields and in the winter, some of it is permanently under water. Our land is low lying and heavy and can be difficult to farm. Jack and I made the decision a couple of years ago that we wanted to manage our farm solely for the benefit of the environment and wildlife rather than for commercial gain. IвЂ™m not sure if the sender in either case intended them to be particularly sentimental but the surprise and delight at a small gesture of thoughtfulness really got me thinking about the value of getting in touch with someone вЂjust becauseвЂ™ and the impact that this can have. I received two unexpected messages this week. and she hasnвЂ™t looked back! As the business has grown, it has become a family affair and Hannah and her husband Jack now run the business together with a wonderful team working behind the scenes so that Hannah can focus on what she enjoys most - her wonderful artwork. It was then suggested to Hannah that she design some cards. Having studied Zoology at university, Hannah started drawing and painting animals during the long hours of fieldwork as part of her degree but it wasnвЂ™t until 2012 that she decided to combine her passions for art and wildlife and attempt to make a living from her paintings. Inspired by the glorious countryside and the outdoor life, Wrendale Designs began life on a crowded kitchen table in Lincolnshire. You'll find our gorgeous designs and HannahвЂ™s unique style across a wonderful selection of cards, stationery, home and giftware items. We pride ourselves on producing stylish, design-led greeting cards and gifts based on our own original artwork by Hannah Dale. Welcome to Wrendale Designs, driven by a love of beautiful things and an eye for quality.
