How are you making money in Cottage Living?

I just barely finished McGregors farm, and haven’t moved them in yet ( male and female adult, and a hunting dog ). They have a spare room for their grandson ( child ), and granddaughter ( teen ), because they visit a lot, sometimes they even move in with them for awhile. Currently they make a little money from gardening, they have a green house I have moved over to the lot they will be on ( the plants reverting to dirt piles bug is annoying me with them though ). She knits and sells things on plopsy or the sales table ( since he fishes too they make trips to Sulani often.and also collect shells and dig for treasures to sell ), and he does woodworking, and has a part time fishing job he will quit to farm. He will still fish on the side as he loves it. I liked the house they were in, in Brindleton Bay so I uploaded it to my Library and changed it a bit making it fit into HOB. I gave them 2 sheds and a chicken coop with room for one more coup at least, ( hopefully they will be able to afford it, if not I will delete the coop and sheds until they can afford them ). There is room for a later shed for for fizzy drinks and candle making ( they haven’t done yet ). She usually does the gardening, but I think I’m going to have her start the Maker career in Eco living. He will quit his part time fishing job and make furniture ( hopefully with her Maker career she can also make furniture ) as well as farming, with the animals. They have also started dumpster diving…. Lol. I’m thinking of giving them the 20x15 lot or 20x20 lot in town for a furniture/grocery/ trinket store, later when they can afford it. They have big dreams of moving back to their homeland and starting a real farm, and hopefully their own business someday!
