why i keep doing what i do

Share

since i could remember i was making stuff.
i really like it. you could almost say i love it. yeah, i would say i love it a lot.
but, one thing is making stuff and enjoying it yourself and then there’s this really cool thing of having others kind of like the stuff you make too. (and kind of scary as well)

BUT the best part about creating stuff (for me) is giving instructions, and sitting back and watching others create stuff and start to have the same passion to make stuff too.
this is why i continue to do what i do.
i LOVE to see you guys get so excited that you created something all because i gave a few instructions on how i got the final product.

like take for example my houndstooth quilt. i’m starting to get emails, tweets and comments saying “i’m almost done!!!” or “it was an easy pattern to follow!” or “i love it!” to all of you, i say: “SWEET! show me pictures!!!”
take kelli for example.
kelli has finished my houndstooth quilt…she made this her trial run…of for what you say? she’s working up the nerve to make it into a king size for her bed. kelli you go for it. and when you do i’ll shout from the mountain tops of how cool it looks on your bed.

one place that i’ve not been going to and showing off too much these days (sorry! i’ll be try to be better) is the V and Co. flicker page.
i went there this weekend and was floored with how many projects have been uploaded!
