Yay creativity!

So what started in February with my desire to properly take up sewing again (I learned when I was twelve but never really did anything with it) has now developed into a general obsession with fabric-based creativity. Over the past two weeks I have made

This headband, scarf and top (which you can barely see, but still)

This dress (again, sorry for the scene-ish bad angle but I couldn't do any better)

Felt bird brooches

And a tote bag with a felt cupcake pin.

I'm having way too much fun with this. Learning how to knit was the hardest thing and I only have a really tenuous grasp on how to do it (my mum had me supervised for hours at first), but my entire family are avid/expert knitters so I'm sure I'll pick it all up from them at some point. Anyway, I'm not just doing the whole knitting/sewing/general creativity because I enjoy it or because I badly needed a non-laptop based hobby, but because I think it would also be cool to make a bit of money from it. Which might be a bit ambitious given my limited skill level, but still. I was looking at Etsy last night to see how easy it would be to set up a shop but the whole thing sort of confused me. Does anyone here have one/know if it's worth it?
