sound advice

I've had this idea percolating for awhile, and I decided it's time to act on it. So I headed to the fabric store today to enrich my stash, and am getting ready for a sewing marathon as I prepare to open... my very own etsy shop!

I was feeling excited this afternoon, but really nervous too. I've never invested in myself this way, never felt supported enough to try such a venture. I spent a pretty good chunk of change on the fabrics, and afterward I was like, Oh no! *bites fingernails* What if I made a mistake? What if I totally blow it?!

Then I opened my fortune cookie after dinner, and I had to laugh.


Thanks, fortune cookie! Sometimes all I really need are a few words of encouragement.

    just looking at those fabrics makes me want to pre-order anything you make. Go for it!! Make sure you post a link here, I'd love to see it.

    Exciting! I haven't let myself get into etsy because I fear all of my money (that I don't have...) will end up there. This might just be a reason to get hooked. :) Good luck.
