Encouraging

So the crafting of tuft semi-officially begins this weekend on what will probably be the coldest morning of the year so far. We have a booth at a local outdoor market. We won't bring a ton of inventory but it's just the first day out. Kind of tuft-lite.

Tent? Check.

Banner? Check.

Business cards? Uh...well...next time for sure.

Famous brand name tumbler full of the strongest, hottest coffee I can brew? You'd better believe it.

But the most important things coming alongside tuft on Saturday are the pep talks given, prayers lifted, and helpful advice offered over the past few weeks. In fact tuft would never have come even THIS far without the encouragement of a long list of you-know-who-you-ares.

You have listened (or at least pretended to...REALLY well) and let me borrow some of your courage when mine was lacking. You have bolstered my confidence and you have gently let me know when anxiety was about to overtake progress. You have even fed the dog for me while I was busy sewing at night.

OK we all know that last one was the Hubs, but there really have been many others, and you all know who you are and you know the helpful role(s) you've played. Thank you so much!
