Fear of Making It Real

I've been making jewelry for a long time - since high school. I love working with gems and metal to create new designs.
For quite a while, my selling jewelry was just an extension of making it: I sold a lot of pieces at work, so I started at craft shows, etc.
Now, my designs are getting more intricate and I'm working with higher quality materials which is great, but I'm afraid of losing my love of jewelry making, because I have to spend so much time on the business aspects.
I had a professional logo designed last year, now I need to update my website (which I created myself).
Also, looking for better quality shows has me pulling my hair out (figuratively).
I know these are things that can be overcome, but I seem to spend more time stressing about the PR aspect than I do making jewelry. (Phew! It felt good to let this out!)
