I had set it aside for months, intimidated by a new technique and frustrated by a mistake. But when I finally tackled it, worked through the problem slowly, and FINISHED the dress I felt such a sense of excitement and accomplishment!Ellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604653874421246048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-81367344823811900542013-10-06T20:50:36.296-04:002013-10-06T20:50:36.296-04:00Good for you!!!

I like following along on instagram. :) Driving to Atlanta for Haven was pretty big for me. Also, my cell phone died because I was using the gps function which drained it so I had to rely on a map which is a foreign concept. I did have a couple missteps but I was proud of myself for getting there.

I didn't rely on my husband to clear my way for me. I explored on my own. Safely, of course. It does take courage to move out of safe routine and into the unknown.

No matter where we are and perhaps even most when we are alone- to know that we truly are not ever alone.

I love my home and love just being home, but sometimes it's good to push myself out of my comfort zone and try new things. I'm always proud of myself when I do that. :) Lisa @ Texas Decorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324912792298425253noreply@blogger.com
