My wife opened an Esty shop, CatShyCrafts, about the same time I launched sixty second shooter. She's made more money with it than sixty second shooter has ... and just made the front page of the Etsy newsletter, which is huge, sounds like the Etsy equivalent of being featured in the iPhone App Store.
So, I've been making games professionally for twenty years ... and she's been making crafts professionally for, oh, three months. Hmm.
As you can tell, I'm jealous. But proud at the same time! Prealous. Joud.
Edit: (Cathy pointed out there's some implied sexism in this article - by pointing out that my wife's more succesful than me, I imply that the status quo is the reverse. But my main thing was really the disparity in experience! Anyhow. I also conflated money with success, as long as we're pointing out things I'm doing wrong.)
Can't argue with success. More money, happier wife, and you get to reap some of the rewards as well. Congratulations to you both.

Yeah. Good set up. I know the arrangement. My wife's hobbies make more money than mine too.
Cute merchandise too.
