New glasses

I mentioned in an earlier post that I had bought some new glasses with my Christmas money as my old ones desperately needed replacing.  So here I am embracing my new plans for a braver me and putting my photograph on my blog.

I ended up taking the photograph myself as Ethan's attempts were on the wobbly side.  It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but I am always surprised when I see myself in photographs: Do I really look like that?  Haven't I got a mass of hair?

I am very self critical and set too high a standard for myself - which is then very difficult to live up to.  I have come to the conclusion that I need to overcome  my self doubt - which I know holds me back.  I always analyse things too much and worry about the consequences (which of course may never happen).

And as part of this transformation, I am going to put myself 100% behind plump pudding as a business and if it doesn't work then it won't be becuase I haven't tried.  Brave words I know, but it is this sense of self-doubt that always seems to hold me back and maybe stop me from achieving whatever potential I have.

But enought navel gazing.  Tomorrow I am going to put some items that I have been frantically sewing these last days up for sale and see what happens.
