Ode to the Week ~ In which I have a fabbytastic week and realise that maybe I can do stuffs i fink I can

Helllooooo Me Loverlies and welcome to Freya's day !!!!!

Well what a week !!! I have to say straight away sorry for being a bit slow with my blog posts this week cos it has been all over the place chaos round here this week !!!

It's been a week of arranging 2 festivals and getting ready for another one. Ice skating dresses and clothes for the festival next week. Sorting our the websites. Fielding calls from revellers and would be stall holders. Paperwork, talking to sponsers, organising accounts, finding camping for festival crew and stall holders. Blog writing and working out new crafts and things around the house.In the middle of all of this, helping out with a family emergency, NO I did NOT make it worse!!! Sooo ner !!!

I started and wrote a little book of Bloo Pixie Wisdom today all I have to do now is put in the pics and I can put it out ready for you to grab a copy of. So hopefully that will be done before I go away next week. Actually might get onto it this weekend. Himself is away tomorrow so I will have a loverly quiet day .. you know the kind you can work on the couch or curled up in bed and eat toast and cup of teas all day!!! mmmm heaven !!!

I have to admit I am feeling alot better than I was earlier this week. I tend to get a tad freaked out when making something new that is special for someone. I tend to worry to the point I give myself a panic attack until it is done and I see a smile on thier face and know they are genuinely happy with it. I have to admit as well because I make my costumes the old way with rolled hems and not using an overlocker because I don't like them. I feel that doing things the old way is better as it gives the seams 4 times more stability than an overlocked hem.

Anywhooo I tend to get a bit wound up, cos I'm not that confident always. Well this week I had been working on a piece with fabric I'm not used to and a pttern I have never put together for a young girl who has worked very hard to make herself well up in iceskating working herself to English team standard!!! There was no way I wanted to mess that up. I do have to say I was a bit of a mess. However when I saw the look on her face when she put it on. It made all the difference it fitted perfick and it looked awesome and she loves it !!! Job done and me calm again !!!

Sometimes I panic for the wrong reasons, sometimes for the right ones, sometimes cos I just does. I think now though after this week I might not panic quite so muchly. It also got me to wanting to make my own tops for the summer. So I figure job well done.

Don't let fear stop you from doing what it is you want to and can do.  It's ok to be scared but don't let it stop you, do it anyway!!! I did !!! If this ickle fraiedyfae can do it i figure you lot can !!!

Have a faerytastic weekend
