From the time I first started Twillypop I wanted everything to work out. I wanted every finished product to be something that I could list and sell. I didn't want to "waste" any time on things that.........well, failed......

and yes, even as I write this, I know that that's not always possible and it's certainly not always the recipe for success...in business....art....or life in general. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...
So, as of late, I have been taking somewhat of a break from cyberspace and the whole Etsy "scene" to do what I could best describe as "putz." I have decided to give myself permission to "fail" and as a result, I have finally put into motion a BUNCH of projects that I have had in mind from the very beginning, but have continually put on the back burner for fear of "failure."
I put the word failure into quotations because I know that even when a project doesn't go exactly as I had planned, that the lessons I learn from said "failure" will have value in my business as I move forward.....
and so....the putzing, planning, thinking, working a little & then walking away..
returning a little while later, after more thought, putzing a bit more, and then walking away...and so on....
