So I put on my big girl panties today and entered Bead Dreams. Just entering is a victory for me; I've wanted to enter, but been too scared to do more than read the directions for several years now.
But today, I did it. I'm proud of me! I overcame my fears and did something that was completely outside my comfort zone.
That's one of my themes for this year; this year I want to try things that I've wanted to do, but been too scared to do. It doesn't matter if I'm a finalist or not (though wouldn't that be something if I were?) because my goal was to enter, and I did.
I can't promise to be brave enough to tell you if nothing comes of it . . . but you can sure bet I will if it does!

I think being brave is one of the bravest things we can do.

Yippee! Good for you for entering Bead Dreams. I'll send good vibes out into the universe for you.
That's great news! Like you this year I have made the decision to venture out of my comfort zone and stop doubting myself. My husband is always telling me I am as talented as many of the beaders I admire - I just have to keep telling "myself" that.
Having admired your work for a while now I am sure you will do well!
P.s - remember we set ourselves that challenge on the Aust Beading Forum before Christmas using one of your patterns... we must still do that!!
Good! Your work is lovely, and your husband is right! and yes, I do remember that challenge . . .
