Hello! and welcome to my first blog for the new year "resolutions". As you can see from the archives, it has been over 2 years since I sat in front of this blog screen to type.
Resolutions and the idea of one doesn't actually sit well with me. I feel pressure for perfection and not having enough tools to modify a resolution yet still stay within the original parameters of the resolution. So, I get nervous, my perfectionism starts to take over the resolution/project and then it gets put on the back burner. Next thing you know it it holiday time again and I remember that project is still on the back burner collecting dust, and BAM it is the new year again and time to make those silly- ineffective resolutions- so I ask, why?
So, on this day; the first of January, 2012:
I won't resolve to write on my blog everyday; but will share new activity in my life in regard to my shop and sewing projects without looking for perfection or worrying if I am keeping within guidelines. I will not limit myself. I will have fun and be silly and not take myself or my work too seriously! Most important, I put my perfectionism and nervousness on the back burner to sit until I feel like I have eliminated those flaws from my life. A flaw that can hinder my creativity for merely being afraid of failure.
Bottom line is; I will not pressure myself or set hard to reach goals. I will continue to work on my Etsy shop and make more and more friends and network there. I will make find new and exciting projects that stimulate me and keep my mind busy so they do not get put on the back burner- I am going to have a great year.
Wow- that sounds like a LOT of resolutions, don't it!
