Opportunities, Tenacity and Positive Thinking

So many wonderful things have happened to me in the last couple of weeks.

First, I have finished writing my Aran Sweater Pattern and am now ready to cast on and get it knitted up. After all these years of working on this course, the end is in sight!

A couple of weeks ago, I had submitted 3 sweater proposals to a company out East - 1 women's sweater and 2 men's sweater patterns. They liked the women's pattern and I am now working on writing the pattern, swatching in some other yarns to decide which one to use and then will be making the sweater. My first Pattern is going to be published!! This is a big step for me. A fabulous opportunity. I am so excited!!!

Last winter, I saw in a magazine that I was reading, a call for people interested in having a room make over. I submitted pictures of my sewing/hobby room and completed the necessary paperwork. This week I heard from them and they are interested in doing my room! This is a dream come true - to work with a professional organizer and get this room in order. I am so excited (a little embarrassed to show off my mess but hey...) what an opportunity!

The dream of having a pattern published, the dream of working with a professional organizer, the dream of getting certified as a Master Knitter...so many wonderful things are coming my way. Pinch me - am I dreaming?! NO this is for real!!!
