me and quilling

It's so funny, how long it took for me to find something I love to do. I wonder if I would have loved quilling, say, 20 years ago? Where would I be with it, now? It doesn't matter, I know. But I question it. I always wonder if I'd have found something artsy that I love, could I have done it as a business?
I'm not really brave like that, to take that kind of risk. You  know, put myself out there. So I wonder frequently, if I could/could've. 

I discovered quilling in 2010. I saw this picture;


I don't remember where I saw it but I thought, ohhhhh, that's so cool! So I started Googling terms until I found it. Naturally I thought, I could do that! And I did. And I kept doing it. And I kept doing it. And I kept doing it!

A few times during the last couple of years I've had these thoughts;
What if...
Could I...
Should I...
Last year I thought, I should have an Etsy shop. Then, after I have those thoughts I think, what the hell Cynthia!!! Just do it! Good grief. But I don't. Grrrrr. 
Something happened over the weekend though. My fella and I went to one of our local art festivals. I found myself saying, "I could do this."  And then, for the first time, I found myself looking at their booths. How they were set up, what they had in them, etc. I discovered that most of them didn't really have a lot of art/merchandise in their booths. Hmmmm. How about that?! I don't have to have this huge inventory of stuff! I could do this. Yep. Pretty sure I can. 

Actually, I'm gonna give it a try! I'll keep you posted :-)
