Doubt Spout Out Pout

  Now that i have seen the press release and the article for CybreFybre, i am doubting myself, second guessing and, permit me please, scared shitless. I know i'm good enough---but what if every one else is gooder???????

I have to admit, i have changed my design, plan and artwork innumerable times because it has to be Just Right. I have of course slammed myself awfully close to the deadline also. I'm having nightmares. Daymares. Barfs. Weeping, wailing and guh nashing of teeths.

I have chosen two people i trust to be my private critics. I expect both of them to be ruthless without being nasty. My confidence level is low, but not my confidence in these two Esteemeds.

Am i the only one in the group of "19 internationally known fiber artists" who is frightened? Stick up yer hoofie if ya are!!! Have you all finished with the initial piece you started? How many times did you try? Can you throw me a comment, a puke bag and a cup of tea please?

Regularly scheduled level headed ADD programming returns tomorrow on this batty channel.

Repeat after me...I am accepted because I deserve to be,, I belong here, I have worked hard to get here, I am moving forward because I have accomplished skills and I can't stay at the same level forever. Moving from one door through to another is always scary because I might not be the best. I don't need to be the best but I do need to enjoy the ride! This is another step in a thousand step life. The "COPS" in my head will not even be able to keep me from savouring this accomplishment because it really is mine!!!! Kick bum girly! Go Arlee Barr !!!!!

Arlee--I posted off my piece to Susan yesterday and like you I was a bit scared--not because of the company I was in -(because I am not competing with anyone)--but because it was the first time that I have ever entered anything this big before.
I had problems with what I was doing -something was wrong but I didn't know what it was.
It took my Grand-daughter(8) to point out to me what she thought was wrong and believe it or not she was right.
I am sure that what you are doing will be fantastic and I look forward to seeing it.
