I meant "their stuff," not "there stuff."


That's what I get for writing my emails on my iphone.

I don't think that's wimpy.

I believe in striving for goals and pursuing authenticity and skill, but we all have different strengths. I just don't want people who aren't type-A personalities like me to feel that their work isn't worthy or that there is no place for them.

Also, it's hard for some people to get good feedback on their work in more remote parts of the kingdom where there aren't ten peers at fighter practice, and some people feel that asking other artisans to look at there stuff at events would be an imposition. Tri-levels and QPT are excellent opportunities to share what you do know and get advice. QPT is always huge: not everyone can win, but you can still walk away from your judging session feeling empowered to move to the next level. (Or even just happy about what you've accomplished.) And I want people to feel that they can come do that, so I'm very defensive when I perceive discouragement whether real or misunderstood.

At the risk of sounding like an utter wimp, I agree with both Vels and Rosalye.  Getting out of one's comfort zone is a worthy goal, no matter what endeavor.  As I posted (via image) on Vels' post on FB, "shoot for the moon; even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."  I firmly believe that.  However, I also believe that with many people, their comfort zone is perhaps tighter than we might guess.  It's not the same for everyone.  One person's common is another person's great leap.  Perhaps it might be useful to elaborate on what Vels meant by common themes, rather than assume he meant common items?  I applaud Lady Rosalye and Mathurin for standing up and reminding folks that such activities as entering an A&S competition is difficult.  While some of us may blaze with ease, others of us may burn a lot of resources in order to manifest a gently glowing flame.
