Back: to The Joy of Making Craft
When I first entered a craft business and still not success until now, I feel depressed. Produce, produce but no sales, no sales…Think too much what people might like or not…It wasn’t such a fun feeling…making mistake created a horrible feeling because I was felt being rush that this project has to be done a.s.a.p. . Mistake would just make the process took longer…
I remembered at that time, just before that, I was still happy doing my crafts…no pressure, no specific target but I was very productive…I also remembered that I usually enjoy pulling off the thread, re-sew, correct here and there…make adjustment here and there…no rush, just enjoy every little step until the project is done…Not all people enjoy pulling off the thread, but I remembered, my sewing teacher told me she enjoyed it and I agree with her!…No matter how high the pressure when sewing a difficult project, it was always fun and fun…and I enjoyed it so much!
Then, I tried to switch back my thought by keep telling myself that doing craft is fun, fun, fun…even when making a mistake and correcting it, it’s just FUN!…I kept telling that in my head, writing in my motivation book, re-read them before doing craft for days…I was like hypnotizing myself…
This morning…I felt something different…I was putting my bag for selling purpose in a keeper box and while doing that, I didn’t feel any pressure as I was used to…so many stuff in the box, not sold yet….and I’m going to make more bags to sell and for my own portfolio…Right now, I just feel, I just want to make it…I like making it, I like choosing the fabric, I want to make it, that’s all…I don’t know when the money will come…I only imagine my Jesus’s face every time I think of some income from crafting…I guess, it’s not my part anymore…My part now is to enjoy doing and producing crafting…
Sometimes, I get a feeling that what my husband told me once is right…Right now may be not the time for making money…may be I must learn more…
I guess, I lost the feeling of Joy when making crafts that’s why my creative and logic brain weren’t working well and synchronized well (^O^)…I guess, I’m back home again, now…the home of Joy of making craft…ahhh…it’s so good to be back home…i hope i don’t go any where anymore…(^o^)
