Fear a powerful source that one can not see or touch, but powerful none the less. Fear stopped me from starting this very blog, fear made me pause when I was told I should sell what I make. Fear is still my good friend, she shows up when I least expect her.
A year ago today, I pushed pass fear Click To Tweet I closed my eyes and I launched my brand new logo on a tshirt.
Wow! I can’t believe it’s been a year can you? The campaign was a success. I met the goal of 50 shirts and have sold a few more since. What you may or may not know is I was unemployed at the time. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to pay my rent and THAT will always be scary.
So this post is not only about fear it’s about thanks. Thank you to all of you who purchased a shirt because the rent was paid. THANK YOU!
Here we are a year later, a few other t-shirt designs and my friend (you know that one I can be afraid of at times) Yup she shows up each time, but I don’t stop; therefore, this post is a congratulatory post. A bravo to me post. A I stared my biggest obstacle down and went forward anyway post. A I am damn proud of me post.
Nothing feels better than running into my shirt attached to a beautiful supporter and to think I was afraid to try.

Hi! First, what a testimony! Stepped out on faith and God made a way. Won’t He do it?! I literally started knitting day before yesterday. I feared knitting because it looked much more intimidating than crocheting (which I started doing in March). But I really wanted to learn, and like everything else I really want to learn, I pushed past the fear, bought some needles and gave it a go. Two days later and I’ve already gotten the hang of it! I really like the shirt. Are you still selling them? I would LOVE one.
Yea for knitting! Yes I do click on shop in the menu and you will find them. Thanks for reading
