art live, work

So How do i figure out the whole life as an artist thing and still make money to support my art and family?  Is school the answer?  What I really want to do is work for a knitting mag where I can take photos and work behind the scene's.  Its seems like a pipe dream, how do I make it happen?  Where do I go from here?  Or should just be content that I have a good job with benefits and work on my art (knitting and photography) after work hours?  I have these big ideas and can't make them work because of time or money.  I really want a 8 color ink jet printer but there like $1000 and that's just not happening right now.  OK I could go on and on... Feeling a bit sorry for myself today you have to excuse me.  Live is good I am going to the yarn store this weekend...  YEAH!

the bag

Well another week has gone by and the felted bag still is not done.  I have three weeks of school left so I may just have to set it aside until the semester is over and of course its the busy time at my work place so... the bag just sits and whispers to me and make me feel guilty for not working on it.  
We are going away on vacation in a few weeks and I plan on getting a lot of knitting done then.  I have 2 friends who have buns in the oven so I am thinking about what to make them.  I have already scoped out the local yarn store where we will be going so I plan on making my way there sometime while we are in the area.  This shop is also a book store so I think that I can lure my husband with me and we can have a date.  the kid will be with her grandma as we are going on a "family vacation"  I can't wait to be in the sun where its over 40 degrees.
