Social Care, financial assessment and earnings from an Etsy shop

I'm going to receive care at home, and will have to complete a financial assessment. I know that earnings from paid employment don't count as income for the financial assessment. I'm thinking of opening an Etsy shop selling printables. To my mind I'd be self-employed and so my earnings from my shop shouldn't count either, but I can't find any specific guidance on that. Does anyone know if earnings from selling things you've made is disregarded income for care at home?
