Overdoing It - Yourself

Dear readers,

I pose to you this question: Can you be too involved with doing things yourself?  You see, I have dreams of growing vegetables, baking bread, making all of my own clothes, all while I fix up my house - with help, but without hiring it :) - and make a name for myself in the art world.  Is this crazy?

There are a few exceptions: jeans, shoes, and I don't particularly feel like butchering my own meat.  I've considered raising chickens, and well, I hate chickens.  Do any of you suffer from this condition?

Thanks for listening to yet another odd rambling.
