Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence \
in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Norman Vincent Peale
And Gorman's third installment:
3. Review Your Goals On a Regular Basis. At least once a month, review your short- and long-term goals. Do this by keeping the goal sheet in the front of a notebook you use regularly. Put them in glassine sleeves so that they will be protected.When you open your notebook, look at and review your goals. By doing this on a regular basis, you will find that your goals are familiar, realistic, and approachable. Your goals will become something to achieve instead of something to avoid. They will help you make the small and large decisions that are so important to achieving your success. Remember to go back to your goals when you are having a tough time deciding what to do. If they are clear, they will help you make wise career choices.
After some time has gone by and you have achieved some of your goals, you will find that you may need to change and adapt them. Some of your long-term goals will drop into the slot left over from achieving your short-term goals. Changing and adapting goals is part of the process as you grow through the different stages of your career.
This is my 3 year old grandson. Think perhaps you see trouble ahead?
OH HAPPY DAY! I was buzzing along on the twins quilt yesterday and it was doing great when all of a sudden it stopped just like before the repair. I tried to completely start over, new bobbin, rethreading, restart, it sewed for a bit and then cut out. Since the trouble was supposedly the sensor I tried attaching the BSR thingy which I have always fought, and it seemed to work fine for awhile, only cut out a few times. I got frustrated and left and will return this morning for another go at it. I need to figure it out or take it back to the repair guy because something isn't right--- and I'm afraid it's something with the computer. Drat. At least I got a little bit more done on the background but this is NOT going the way I had it planned. (as usual)
So today I was kicked out o the house by the guy who cleans stone floors and I hibernated in the studio with the dogs to keep us all out of trouble. Machine worked fine. I don't get it. I think I'm going to have to add a false back because it's looking pretty bad back there. And that means I have to go find a piece of fabric large enough. The old shower curtain I started on isn't big enough either, glad I saves a good chunk of it for the borders. More tomorrow.
In Other News, I finished the Baby Surprise Jacket at 1 AM, just have to find it some buttons. And tonight I am back working on the bamboo sweater for myself. My arm is shot, hope I make it to the end.

2 more sculptures from Brooklyn-based artist Alexander Barrett out of Oreo cookies. That was his medium. His subject matter was chosen by people following the Oreo brand on Instagram. They sent him photos to duplicate with Oreo cookies. The portrait is the cookie crumbs, the lobstah (amazing!) is the creme filling.
DENIMU: for the British artist Ian Berry, it is so much more. It's probably fair to say, Ian is obsessed. This is the guy who changed his stage name to Denimu and made a career out of turning jeans into works of art.
Ian conjures remarkably detailed portraits and urban landscapes using nothing more than discarded jeans. Over many weeks he cuts, stitches and glues using only the varying shades of the fabric to provide contrast and shadow. The effect is amazingly detailed images, with a depth and texture that is hard to reproduce in print and online.
