You Win Some, You Lose Some

Table top fan
Well, today was pretty much a day of FAILS! Nothing was coming out the way I wanted it to, but that is OKay!... because tomorrow is a new day and another chance to try again :o)

Hey, on the bright side I learned what not to do XD

...When I first started crafting, I had to tell myself that very project was a learning experience, even the ones that came out looking like a HOT MESS! I learned that it was OKay, because it was my HOT MESS and it was the best that I could do at that time. Then I had to realize that just because I made it , it did mean that I was suck with it : I could always give it away (my daughter is very eager to adopt anything I make) and there is always the recycling bin. When I let go of the belief that everything had to be perfect I began to enjoy crafting much more... as a creative outlet and that is why we say, " Happy Crafting!"

  2. Totally agree with you here, an idea from your imagination takes a while to become reality.

    Love the things you do, my friends two granddaughters love coming to my house to make things, their next session is the jewellery, they are going to love it - thanks for you excellent videos.
