Karleen, your taste and mine are different. I also never buy kits. I can't answer any questions about what might work better for you.
All I can tell you is that my own (limited) success comes from what feels best to me. I know what I do is good and valuable. I mostly need to find my venue or focus on how to reach my natural market. You do what you do very well. Changing what you do would just fragment your shop -- the total integral product you present.
I consider you an asset to rcb and the beading community.
About your neck. I imagine there is something traumatic that happened to you about January, if your body always bites you then (even if just a sort of fear the winter will NEVER end). If you can identify it, try sending energy/prayer back to the original situation. A forgive and release prayer is good and very freeing to you. ("Forgive" doesn't mean you have to forget and remain vulnerable). I would suggest that you also send love from yourself, or God or the Universe especially to the part of your body that hurts. The mind remembers, but the body also "stores memories". Your muscles can remember, and tense your very bones into positions that damage you.
Chiropractic and massage help some people, as do the laying on of hands with healing intention. Training helps with Healing hands, Reiki, etc, but intention is the most important thing, and can be done by anyone.
