Yes, it isn't perfect, but he likes it and it looks good on him. Time to focus on how much fun I had making it and how much fun he will have wearing it!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070067713006240891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628506312179219744.post-31843151439102051012009-10-20T00:42:59.421-04:002009-10-20T00:42:59.421-04:00amen! i was just realizing the benefit of that mi...amen! i was just realizing the benefit of that mindset last year when president uchtdorf gave a talk about creating. it was like the talk was written just for me. it pushed me over the mental-edge and now i realize that i should let go of my inhibitions and just create. and if i fail? who cares! because most of the fun is in trying and laughing at yourself when you fail miserably, right?sarah savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15417298001309403898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628506312179219744.post-25936451526332937242009-10-15T00:18:18.165-04:002009-10-15T00:18:18.165-04:00It's so true. You've taught me to make all...It's so true. You've taught me to make all kinds of things despite my supposed lack of crafting ability. There's something so satisfying about creating something you can feel proud of, especially when you subsequently give it away or get to use it.

Pres...this is a great way to build self esteem too! Pres. Utchdorf taught that last year in the October General Relief Society conference. He said we as women need to have compassion and we need to be creative and those to separate but also could be connected things build confidence, esteem, all that jazz.
