Lucy - she's outta here!

Have you ever put all your heart and soul into a project? Not to mention time........and let's say it doesn't go so well and worse you feel crushed at the end of it all? I know I am being a bit frank and honest but so many times I have peered into other "crafty/talented" ladies blogs and it all looks so easy. Maybe it is for them. I seem to be on the other side of coin. There is no special magic to make it all work, but there is A LOT of work.

The whole process of patterns has been a journey! *sigh* and there are always lessons to be learned in the journey - ups/downs/joy/sadness........

It's scary to "put yourself" out there. Am I good enough? do I know enough? am I doing it right? am I going to get eaten alive by the "other bigger fish" in the sea????........

I guess by sharing all of this I want you to know YOU can do it too. If you have something that you are passionate about, that fills you until you feel you will burst if you don't create it - then go for it! I have learned to "carve" my own path. Maybe I am not as well known as someone else, maybe I don't have as much knowledge as someone else......maybe I just try it my own way. Who says there is one way of doing it??? Who says I have to work as fast as someone else? I CAN go at my own pace. Do I sometimes feel left behind? sure. Has everything gone smoothly? HECK NO! lol.........have I learned to laugh about it? Yes..........

Now - I thought this post was supposed to be about Lucy? *snicker* It is. The Lucy Apron pattern has officially been sent to the printer! YES the PRINTER! I wish I could breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate. I think I will wait until I actually have the printed version in my hand. Excited? YES. you? :)

It should be arriving in a few weeks and then it will be available for RETAIL and WHOLESALE purchase. If you are interested in carrying LUCY in your shop sign up here. :) I'd love to have you as a client.....

More news to come this week.......can you handle more of my ramblings and insights? ha ha ha.......
