It,s Good to be Loved

Yep cheesy init but it is true,let me explain how this has come about and how amazing it is that i even care.
Well after discovering a talent for making clothes true to form i jump in with both feet hold my nose and open a on line shop whence i discover that designing and making  the clothes is the easy part and i soon discover i am missing a lot of skills skills i might add that i had previously had no interest in and even actively avoided.So i set about finding out what these skills i needed where and one of them was to build a on line personality which i have started to do  and i might add being the person i used to be i found at the beginning quite no very hard and made several false starts but i kept at it and i think i am starting to see thro the mud.
I opened a face book page and played around with that still not knowing really what i was doing,then opened a fan page and left it at that really,joined some craft forums and then i seemed to run out of steam,and sorta just concentrated on making clothes.
Well then out of the blue i got this email from the ceo of enstyle asking me as a fashion designer if i would like to join their site.So i thought yea give it a go so i logged on to the site had a quick look around and filled the profile in and uploaded a few looks.
Over the next couple of days i thought about it more and more and thought no this is wrong because the site is full of very lovely boys and girls mainly girls all young and lovely and i am not young and i am a acquired taste shall we say. So i emailed enstyle to ask if i was doing it right and what they wanted and the reply i got back was disheartening to say the least,it went no we wanted you to put your designs and creations on your fan page and they would take them from there. Big whoops.
Well i sorta hung my head in embarrassment and slunk away trying to forget the whole thing,imagining every body laughing at me.
All went quite for a few days and then out of the blue i started to get notifications that people liked my look and i had picked up a few followers,so they where not laughing after all ,i am now posting looks as often as i can and i am enjoying it no end,and enstyle send out emails saying it,s good to be loved and they are so very right.
There will be more on this i am sure
