I just realized tonight that I won Hobbii's $111 11/11 giveaway! Thankfully, the gift card didn't expire until Dec 31st. I spent it tonight. Haha I could have gotten yarns that I use often for Amigurumi, but I decided to splurge the free gift on some yarns I may have otherwise never tried. What would you have gotten?

I struggle with the idea that I have to have the proper set, the right camera, perfect background and all the jazz so that I can keep up with the next guy. The thing is, I've always been unique. I want my customers, students and friends to see that I am just person, following a calling with a God given talent to create and make people smile. I don't need perfection to do that. As business, I often feel pressured to conform more to the ideals of others and that just not me. This is why I struggle to show up 100% authentic every day. Today, I choose to start shedding the belief that I should conform as a business and choose to just show up authentically as me.

They were all so fun to make! Which is your favorite so far?
