Getting Serious



Sometimes you just have to get serious about what you do, why you do it and what you want to achieve. Time moves too quickly. 


This is what happening to me at the moment. 
I'm getting serious: sewing like a demon, learning to create new patterns, learning about fabric and trends. I'm not holding back on what I can achieve


Business cards are done, the web site is up and running and I have been accepted into Eveleigh Artisans Market 
Spoke to a shop today regarding stocking them with my clothes. I'm sick of 'goofing off', procrastinating and holding back. Lack of confidence has been replaced with confidence and drive.


Maybe it comes with maturity- this getting serious, maybe it happens when the time is right.


I have the fire and I'm serious about it. 


How how serious are you about what you do?

Hmm. I could learn a lot from you.

Your work and style is so unlike anything I have ever seen before, you model it beautifully. You are your own Brand. I can't imagine you not succeeding. Keep it going.

You have inspired me, off to figure out what I can and or should do.

Go, Don. Make it happen. Nothing gets done unless you're willing to do the doing. The hardest part is deciding that this is a priority over other aspects of your life. I think that's what so many don't have--the simply gumption to follow through. Congratulations!! You're setting an example that we should all pay attention to and emulate in our own lives. Well done.

Don, YES! I am sure you are right. There is no time like the present, and just like the saying we have here in the South (USA) ~ You Gotta Make Hay While the Sun Shines!

Yes I would say that since I started my blog I have become much more serious. It's about time at 40! I wascommissioned to make a wedding gown from scratch and created my own pattern for it.it was a success and it off has given me new confidence.

Sew Country Chick said...

After being commissioned to make a wedding gown and creating the design and pattern for it, i gained new respect for myself. Having a blog has gotten me much more serious. Writing and photographing the process are invaluable.
Your work is fascinating!
