self doubt sucks

its kicking in big time too! things that i want to make for my etsy shop are just not turning out how i want them too...and its bumming me out pretty bad. there are one or two more things that i'd like to make before i open...i just need to get the materials this week...oh...then figure out how i'm packaging it all! the only things that i'm in love with are my stars...

i want to keep them for myself! lol

this wreath was somewhat of a disappointment...i love it for my house...but in good conscious, i can not sell it. i have not yet perfected the loop for hanging...balls keep popping off--even though i glued them together. my biggest fear is that it would get to the buyer and the balls would be rolling around the box! ugh. so i think i'll just be keeping this for myself.

i know that my ribbon garland will be fine...i just have to get the supplies. here is the one i made a couple of years ago

    you are right, self-doubt will get you every time. I suffer from it all the time.

    It is hard not to second-guess yourself when you know somebody else is going to be owning these things! Don't be too hard on yourself, though, you're just starting out!

    I LOVE that wreath and especially the ribbing you used on it. Beautiful! Those stars are super cute too!

    STOP doubting yourself! You are so extremely talented. Please trust in yourself, because so many of us believe in you! I get what you mean, but girl, you are VERY talented!

    I have been trying to get your button to work. Did the place in photobucket change?

    I love the stars, me big likey shiny objects. If you need help with any packaging or shipping or things in that realm, I have access to an entire shipping dept and a small packaging facility...at least for another month or so, enough time to set you up with some good tricks.
    if you don't know who it is, try this...
