Don't Push Me!

You know how you stand at the edge of a pool, ready to dive in, but you just can't?
Everyone is yelling at you to jump, but you're not ready?

That's how life is for me.

For as long as I can remember I've been stubborn and strong willed.
And if you tell me to do something, I'm more likely not to do it.
I like to do things in my own time and on my own terms.

That means, the greater the pressure, the less likely I am to do anything.

People have been telling me for years that I should be selling my craft work.
And I've always wanted to, but I guess I just wasn't ready.

Until last week.

Because on Saturday, I jumped into the pool.
I opened my own store on madeit.com
I am so excited about it!!
I guess the planets must have just aligned or something, because it was one of those snap decisions.
I thought "I'm doing it!" So, I did it!
Once I'm ready I don't overthink things, I do all the overthinking for years in advance.

Jump in with me, the water is divine.

  2. I don't need to shop on your Made It site - just make two of everything you make for your daughter and send it over, then just invoice me!!! ;)

    Love your work!

  6. Good for you Thea. I hope it goes well for you. If you can turn your hobby/something you love into something that will even make you a little extra cash, that's great. And you will be making loads of other people happy in the process.

  10. Well done. Love it. And can I just say the way you described yourself is so close to me! Stubborn, string willed... tell me to do it and I'll do the opposite. Us Scorpios gotta stick together!
