Stressed

I'm feeling quite stressed, and I know it's all my fault.

See, I committed to sewing something for another family, and I am quite nervous about doing it.  I've gathered all my supplies, designed everything, and now I just need to actually sit down at my machine and sew.

But I can't. It's as if I've gotten stage fright.

I'm nervous I'm going to mess up. I'm nervous that they won't LIKE what I have created for them. I'm nervous that I won't be able to finish in time (I need to mail their stuff out by the 13th. I know that sounds far away, but I can only really focus on sewing when the kids aren't underfoot- which means they must be in bed- and that severely limits my sewing time!)

Really, I know that all this worry is just plain silly. My head knows that even if they don't like what I make, or even if I bungle everything up, this family will be kind and gracious. I know that if I would just actually buckle down and GET SEWING, I have plenty of time to complete this project.

Yet my nervousness persists.

*sigh* I'm sorry that between this post and the last one, I seem to be a bit of a downer! I promise I am HAPPY, but just these two things have been bothering me. Hopefully I will be back posting more positive things!
