Pushing myself...

I have been working really hard this year to push myself out of my comfort zones and try to do things that  I normally would be too afraid to try. The exercising, the dieting, I ate tomatoes....

To that end I have entered a project in a crafting contest. Normally I would maybe have entered and then not told anyone so that if I crash and burn I can go quietly away and lick my wounds in private. But I am going to push past the fear of failing and share the fact that I am trying with you all. I am proud of what I designed for this contest and even if I don't make it past the auditions I wouldn't change anything that I have created.  


I can't tell you which project is mine. You'll just have to guess. 
And now I have posted this everywhere I possibly can, shared it with as many people as I possibly can reach. If I fail, then I'll fail spectacularly publicly. But as long as the people I make things for love them, I guess it's not really a failure.
