I'm retarded

I got a table at a holiday boutique/fund raiser a few weekends ago. I sold 4 outfits, 1 on the spot and 3 that had to be ordered. I just got all the ones that I have to do custom and I'm nervous to start. I'm scared I'm going to screw them up and the people won't like them. Why do I always do this to myself? These people saw my stuff and spent money to order it...they obviously liked it. I just get so irrational about this. I know this is why I never followed through to this extent with anything I've ever crafted before. It's so frustrating.

You know they're going to be fabulous!! You can always preview them here for us to critique with you first, too! *hug*

Let me know what you want to do with those photos, too ;)

COMPLETELY understood. I have total cutting paralysis.

They are buying in to your vision, so let it run wild! You can give them the right to accept or decline your final results, have a refund, or try again. I'll bet they all just snap up what they can, but in dealing with people and money, all you can do is be reasonable.

I know, it's hard. But if you stop yourself, you will never have a chance to succeed. Give your clients the chance to say no, not yourself.
