I finally did it! I took that leap and started an Etsy site...YIKES! Now I just have to figure out how to link it to this blog...hopefully that won't take too long for me to figure out... ;) I was hoping to have several new pillows, wreaths and necklaces to list, but just as I was finally able to sit down and sew yesterday, my needle broke. Typical. I was able to get some flowers made, but I have to admit...I was kind of acting like a
big baby. I finally
found my big girl panties stopped throwing a tantrum, put everything away, and had a glass of wine. And felt much better! Bought new needles today and will be armed and ready tonight!
Then I woke up this morning and threw a pity party for myself. I'm sorry I didn't invite you...it wasn't much fun so don't worry! ;) I was wondering if this was just a silly dream on my part, and an exercise in futility. I said as much to my husband and kiddos...the three of them
said the right things to make me stop whining were very sweet and supportive. Then I got a great message from a sweet friend, reminding me that we all have our place in the world; we all have our own special talent. Started feeling a little better. Created the Etsy site and thought I would stick with it for a little longer. AND THEN...I noticed that I had a comment on my Mother's Day post. From Lori of
http://www.katiesrosecottage.blogspot.com/ and I started screaming. Lori's is one of the first blogs I found and I have been a follower since. Her creations are absolutely gorgeous and inspiring. Her sweet words were so validating and gave me that little boost of confidence that I needed. Thank you for finding my blog, Lori!
Every time I have a little pity party for myself, I'm reminded that we ALL have days when we feel a little insecure. Even those who present as so put together and confident. And we just have to be gentle with ourselves and cut a little bit of slack. Everyone has their own special talents and gifts; we can't all be the same...the world would be so boring! So I will continue to focus on MY dream. To continue creating and hopefully adding a little bit of beauty to someone's life and home.
BTW....this was as far as I got yesterday...I can't wait until it's finished! :)
Hugs!
