This blog is a beautiful blend of personal thoughts, inspiration, free patterns and tutorials, community, and pretty pictures.

I constantly feel so inadequate when I compare myself to other bloggers, artists and etsy sellers, and feel like such a failure sometimes. That said, I think the earrings look absolutely amazing!

I was having a meltdown with doing my stitch swap embroidery piece as I kept looking at all the amazing finished ones on the flick group and feeling that my work isn't as good and what if my partner thought mine was rubbish!

I was getting my hair done last month when I overheard the nail lady say she likes the newer lacquer nail polishes for herself but not so much for her customers- they now can space out their appointments longer because the nail polish lasts longer!

You should congratulate yourself for failing. Every time we fail, we learn something. And as my mom likes to say, the only way to avoid failure is to never try anything new. If you have frequent failures, you must be trying lots of new things, and that says wonderful things about your spirit, creativity, and determination!
