Eeeeeeee, Bracing for a Sew-A-Thon

Holy moly...can't believe I did this!

First off, thanks for all the support from my online and IRL friends! I think you all gave me the courage to put my neck out there. Face one more fear.

I hate rejection and this craft fair stuff has you set up from the beginning. Here in the south, all the fairs are juried. As Rich likes to describe it, a bunch of sorority sisters sit around and decide if you are 'cool' enough to join the show.

Considering most of them happen at churches, that whole idea of judgement seems a little back asswards. But whatever.

Submit the application and wait. I thought the selection date had already passed so it hit me out of now where today when I got the acceptance email.

Guess I'll be seeing a lot more of my sewing machine in the next 16 days.

And then standing in front of my booth, crossing my fingers that people like my designs. It's all a popularity contest that makes me uncomfortable. But I have to do this, gotta have some guts in life.
