I’ve done it. I’ve committed. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. The comparison would be buying a ticket to the largest roller coaster you can imagine. As of right now I’m strapped in. There is no turning back. I’m not even going to look back. There is no point. I’m so excited and terrified. My tummy has already started rehearsing the butterflies. I am ready! I don’t know what loops and turns are in store for me but I’m ready to embrace it. My plan? It’s true even on the smallest roller coaster I scream like a banshee (it’s like a knee-jerk reaction, I can’t help myself. Seriously even on the kiddie rides! Embarrassing, but true!). My plan is to keep my eyes wide open, to throw up my arms, scream my head off and enjoy every last drop of this ride.
I’ve registered with The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design! All three modules!
I’ve spent the last four years drawing and studying fabric. Don’t get me wrong, my Stash Drawing Project is still on going but I have to admit after completing my 2014 Calendar project with Esmari I felt a little like, “Well, what now?” Then, somehow, I stumbled upon a link from Elizabeth Olwen talking about this online class she took. As soon as I saw it, my instant gut reaction was, “I want to do this!” I nonchalantly told my husband about it on the phone, enthusiastically and immediately he said, “You should do that!” I was surprised by his gusto and certainty. Class starts on the 12th of January but I’ve also preregistered for a mini course that starts on the 3rd called “Developing your Signature Style”. It lasts 5 days and it’s FREE!
So there you have it, I have declared 2015 will be my year of living FEARLESSLY!

Yahooo!!!!! Now there’s no turning back for us anymore, Lysa!
I totally missed the ‘Developing your signature style’ course. Cripes, just as well you mentioned it – totally registering for that right now!

You go! You have this!
PS. I read the last line of your first paragraph as “My plan is . . . . . to throw up IN my arms . . . .” Because that is totally what I would be doing!

Long have I admired the prints and patterns I see–on paper, in fabric. This is wonderful! thanks for sharing your journey!
