Correct and no "probably" about it, unfortunately.... Actually, you probably have to register anyway if you have *income*, even if you don't have a profit. ...
And the implications need to be explored with your tax-advisor (costs allowable against tax).... You should be careful what home-related expenses you claim for as that could have CGT consequences for your principal private residence if part of it is being used for a business. ...
AFAIK, this is not correct as once you register as self-employed, you will be assessed for PRSI contributions, and you will lose your PAYE tax credit so the house-hold tax-bill increases immediately, albeit by a relatively small amount.... If your husband is in the 41% bracket and you are jointly assessed, then in effect, your profits will be taxed at 41% but it won't "affect" your tax situation in any way - you'll still be jointly assessed, just earning more (and paying tax at the higher rate on those earnings). ...

Sorry, I didn't read OP properly.Would the husband have access to two PAYE credits if OP wasn't working at all? Take your point about PRSI. ...
I'm biased, but I think that OP should definitely continue her hobby, even if it costs money TBH (most hobbies do and it's great that OP is even near actually making money/profit from it). It appears that there will be minimal affect on OP/husband's actual tax/PRSI outlay as a result of continuing the hobby as a business. There will be some additional admin work on the tax side.

As a sole-trader, the "profit", or excess of income over expenditure and after all taxes, is your salary. If you choose to use it to to go holiday, buy a car or whatever, you are free to do so as tax has been paid....I understand I'll have to pay 41% tax on profits but wonder then, how do I personally benefit if I cannot take a salary?
I understand I'll have to pay 41% tax on profits
But what if your are both currently jointly assessed? If we currently pay 41% I understood from previous replies that all my profit would aslo be taxed at 41% ?
