I'm a woman on a mission

Okay....after my last post I literally stayed up all night last night YouTubing.  I looked at any and everything I could find from loading quilts,  installing the q-bot, which is already done, and lots more.  There are still more to look at, but my brain is on overload right now.

I think I said last time that I'm a mule.  Well, I totally am.  All someone has to do is tell me I can't do something, and I WILL prove them wrong (although that hasn't happened with losing weight yet..hmmmm).  Along with that is that I'm a frustrated perfectionist.  That means that so many times I'm afraid to try something for fear of doing it wrong or not good enough.  I've ALWAYS been that way.  My hubby tells me all the time that the only way to learn something is to jump right in.  He also tells me that the quilting police will NOT be showing up, so just go for it.  I know he's right.  It's just me.  I AM working on it, though.

Anywho, not much to share, but wanted to let you know that I WILL learn this, but I still would welcome any help, tips or whatever that you might have.

Thank you for stopping by and your comments.  They mean so much to me!

Hugs and love,

Carolyn...i can really relate to the worrying the end product won't be good enough...so, i don't wanna start. I tend to organize and dream about a project which keeps me from jumping right in. I'm still trying to teach meee ol' self new "tricks".

Thellie, do I have to come over there and give you a kick in the pants? You CAN do this and I know you CAN. Just set your mind to it and keep in the back of it that Louie is on the way with big feet. Seriously....I have deep faith in you and I know you will accomplish this.

Love ya

I can't really relate to that. I'll do a little bit of reading before I start something new, but I generally tend to jump right in. And it doesn't always work out for me the first time. But the way I look at it, you learn something new every day, so why worry??? I hope you get to jump in soon!!
