| A Prairie Dress is heading to Halifax, Nova Scotia! |
I have Jackie to thank for all her pestering to enter. Actually, she threatened me and said, "if you don't enter this, I'm going to fly to Saskatoon to get it myself and enter it for you!". lol She's awesome. I also have to thank Karen for her support. Seriously - go to this post HERE and read her comment. It's the first one at the end of the post. I wonder how long it took her to type that word!?? Oh my gosh. I bounced up and down in my chair when I read it. lol
What do I do with this nervous energy? I think I'll get into my running shoes and head out for some fresh air. That's what I'm working on! Linking to The Needle & Thread Network.
(A little while later... )
Aahhhh... feeling more grounded now. I just got back from a great long walk out in the sun with my husband while the kids are in school for the afternoon. MAN is it nice outside. What a nice treat.

| walking outside always grounds me |
Can you believe it though? I feel like ever since I started creating with a needle and blogging all about it, things have been working out incredible well. I wondered the other day if maybe a lucky leprechaun had hopped into my pocket. I mean really! It's overwhelming at times. I often stop myself from posting things because I'm worried you all with think, 'here she goes again. brag brag brag'. It's been nothing short of fantastic on a daily basis. I am truly thankful. My head is spinning and my heart is full. It's all good.
: )
Lastly, 3 Prairie Postcards will be auctioned off at a local Le Leche League fundraiser on Sunday! The cards are a series of simple prairie scenes. Each one is different. You can see them HERE. If you are going to the event, bid high! ; ) It's a good cause.

I will be out there in Halifax, so I will be sure to linger by it to hear all the awesome comments people say!!!
Many congratulations, Monika!
I'm jumping up and down excited for you!! What a wonderful art journey you are on and it's so exciting to be able to share your joys!! As for the speaking.. does picturing them in underwear help at all? hahaha!
How super exciting!! Congratulations. :D Haha!! If picturing them in underwear doesn't help, just think of them as bunches of us - quilting and blogging in our jammies. ;D
Now I am super excited as I will get to see your dress in person , I will be attending the show in Halifax in June ,yeah!
Congrats!!!
Your dress is absolutely stunning and your enthusiasm is inspiring and contagious! Good luck! Thanks for sharing!
Monica,
You Will be in your element, sewing in public. The nerves Will pass when you get going. You can open with a question for the audience, or a joke, puts everyone at ease. I'm sure you'll be amazing. All the best.

Ah, you are doing good, Monika. That is sew great!
With your talent you don't need a lucky leprechaun in your pocket. Congratulations!
OH WOW! I discovered your blog only recently, so I didn't know what the piece was that you entered into the juried show. Even the picture above wasn't obvious to me, but I was curious about Karen's comment and I followed the link and ... I'm blown away. I have to say "Ditto" to Karen's comment. WOW to the 10th!
