Even after all of these years as a sewer and a crafter I still get so frustrated with myself when things are not perfect or when I am trying a new pattern or new technique. I can see it in my head, how I want it to look, but then I look at it and it is no where near my vision.
But I don't quit, because something always calls me back to try again. Try something else, try it a different way, but it calls me to keep trying. Because even though I may be frustrated by what I am doing, I always have this vision in my head and a desire in my soul to make beautiful things.
Then eventually, as if by magic, I manage to make something that I love, that I am happy with, that I am proud of. But it's not magic...it's days, weeks, months of trying and trying again.
If your heart calls you to do something.....then do it. But I warn you now, it probably will not be anything like you think it is going to be. It probably won't be very good. It will be crooked, and it will be wonky, and it may even be downright ugly..... you will get there through practice, and doing it again tomorrow, and maybe the next day too. It gets better and it gets easier....and one day, as if by magic, you are doing work that just comes easy for you.
