I couldn't do it.
If I could bring art and craft projects to the office and work on them during the day, I'd be fine... I'd still be working, just working on something fun of my own choosing. I might work on my writing. It would rule to be paid almost $95k to write and work on arty/crafty stuff!
However, I'll say this; my ex was fired from a Dept of the Interior job for too much extracurricular activity, when he
didn't have any work to do. Yep. Fired for NOT doing nothing, when there was nothing to do. Many offices apparently have rules against surfing the Web, writing a book, or spinning yarn during office hours. If I had the option of converting my office into a personal art/writers studio and get paid while doing it, I would be hell of on board! If my only option was to read book after book for 8 hours a day, for ten years, I think I would look for a job that paid half as much and actually gave me something productive to do. I love to read... just not THAT much.
Or I would learn to sleep in my chair so that I could spend my waking hours doing something interesting.
