I am so impressed that you tried out for Shark Tank. I know you are disappointed that you didn't make it on TV. But you TRIED! You put yourself out and grew and learned new things. You are Strong, Powerful and Brave!
2025 has to be a better year! I firmly believe that! My husband had his third joint replacement surgery in December. Unfortunately, I fractured my back a week later which definitely put a huge damper on the holidays. We all have ups and downs! I hope your 2025 is filled with all things great!🥰
I'm sure there are thousands of people who don't even get to round 1. Grats on round 2. :) That's why, when we go on a cruise, we fly down the night before. More time just in case the airline travel has hick-ups. I love the scrappy tree quilt.
I am sorry that you had a rough year in 2024. Put everything before the Lord and he will make a way for you and give you peace. I love the Christmas tree quilt.
Trying out for Shark tank is a win! That takes a lot of guts. Your fails make you stronger and more prepared and grounded. It is great that you share these. I just subscribed to your channel. Being real is important, You Rock!, Lisa
Thank you for your openness and honesty! I really appreciate it when a creator of your level is brave enough to be so honest and vulnerable and yet to be able to see the truth and perspective of how these were learning opportunities and thus how so much was gleaned from each one. I do hope that you are able to release the scrappy tree pattern soon, because it’s really cool. As I touched on, I think that perspective is so very important and makes the difference between getting stuck vs moving forward……thus I would say for myself that I had more setbacks and unmet expectations and goals than “failures” last year. But then I like you have to factor in the unexpected life events that just happen and be willing to give myself grace and learn from them and keep moving forward-for example a biggie was adding 3 more surgeries that I didn’t expect to have to have, FYI that made it 9 surgeries since Nov 2024! I agree that we as humans and creators tend to be harder on ourselves not just then others especially those who know us best, but than even God is. Praying that you have another great year with less setbacks and “failures” than ever experienced before! I look forward to seeing what you accomplish this year!
My husband gave me a christmas gift to go to Hamilton! It’s a good 2-day drive from here in NC and it’s Christmas! I spent December 26 in Hamilton visiting as many shops as I could (I’m old, I get tired!!🥴). All my purchases were mailed to me because this is what they do - I had a big box in the back of the Main Store with all my info and all,I had to,do was drop off my tote bags whenever I wanted and then let them know I was done! That box arrived at my hime on December 30 - didn’t expect,to see it till after January 1st! I would never do the birthday bash only because of the incredible amount of people - I’d love to see all the free things the Doan family does for thst time, but…….glad I went when I did!
Oh my! Love this video so much!! I’ve been working on a quilt for a good friend for (yes it’s true 🤦🏻♀️) for over 5 years. It’s not for lack of motivation but more because of major medical issues, both his and mine. After my next upcoming surgery (or the following one) I hope to finish and deliver it in 2025. It’s closer, but still a WIP 😢
Along the lines of failure and failing, I remember a quote from the movie, The Natural. Glenn Close tells Robert Redford (who is feeling like he failed), "I believe we each have two lives. The life we learn with, and the life we live with after that."
@@CarolinaMoore I should have mentioned that Glenn Close added, “and the life we live with after that; with or without all the trophies.” I took this quote to mean, the life we live with is a result of all the lessons, and we need those lessons for life’s success stories. I feel that you are NOT a failure, you’re just getting lessons for a future filled with MORE success! Thanks for your videos!!!!
I had a friend who was convinced that we are doomed to repeat the lessons we don't learn. Sounds pretty similar, though my friends' sounded more ominous, and yours more hopeful. ❤️
We are all going to failures in life itself. The question is what are we going to do…. We get up learn from the failure or mistake and start again. 😉 Thanks for sharing.
Wow, Shark Tank that is amazing. Your quilts are so pretty. Like you, traveling, I actually got on the wrong plane and No one noticed my ticket was for Cabo and I ended up in New York!!! 😂😂😂
New subscriber here! You are on your way to 80K! Woohoo! 100K is right around the corner! I had heard that the quote goes like this...The full quote is "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work, and it is attributed to Thomas Edison, the famous inventor." I appreciate your candor in sharing your fails....most of which are Not fails in my book. Some are just due to being human. I love that you are still smiling through it all. ~Caroline near Napa P.S. Finish the tree pattern!
I don't usually do scraps, but I would make that tree quilt! I learn a lot 😂, lol. '25 is going to be awesome! It has to be, I started out on Jan 2 by breaking my first bone ever, ankle. Woohoo, yay me. It'll all go up from here!
Glad you had a Great time on the cruise! I would love to make it to Hamilton for the Birthday Bash...I 'm so missing Jenny!❤ I have a lot WIP in my stock pile to get done so maybe this will be my year to get alot done. PLEASE Publish the scrapy tree pattern as soon as you can. That might be my next stater and ender project, wish it was out last year I was looking for something like that this year...❤
You made it to the second round of Shark Tank?!?!?! That is amazing! I will be looking forward to buying your scrappy tree quilt pattern as soon as you have it! Since I have to plan my schedule of makes months in advance, the earlier you release it the better 🥰
@CarolinaMoore My pleasure to honestly support you 🥰 I just got the 2024 snowflake card today. I am very excited to make a couple of quilting projects this year. Maybe a Christmas tree quilt..... 🤭
FAIL First attempt in learning the painful part is when you lose tons of money in the process and you have unhappy customers. Nothing is a bigger fail than that. I imagine a yearly budget should have a line item for when things go wrong. As an entrepreneur you try sooo hard to think of every little detail but inevitably there’s one detail that you miss…due to the fact that you’re stepping into new territory.there are also so many unpredictable variables . I’m learning that the hard way. When you are a brand new business everything is an experiment every day and at any point there’s a high probability of failure. It’s very interesting and you have constant learning, but you have to have the guts to gamble on an idea or a product that you’re launching/selling. People don’t realize how fragile owning a small business is. This is why I admire you so much. You take big chances like with the glow rulers . I can imagine the tremendous amount of time, energy, expense resourcefulness and imagination that went into this unique product and then putting yourself out there and spending more time and energy applying for shark tank. You have guts of steel and you are resilient, plus you have endless amounts of energy and ambition. Kudos to you.
Awww... thanks! I was listening to "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert again (it is one of my favorites). She says the Greeks believed one "had a genius" rather than "was a genius." And I love that concept. It keeps one humble, working hard, making sure I deserve the having of any genius that comes my way!
I love the scrappy tree quilt!!! You need to release that one!!!!
I am so impressed that you tried out for Shark Tank. I know you are disappointed that you didn't make it on TV. But you TRIED! You put yourself out and grew and learned new things. You are Strong, Powerful and Brave!
I actually found out yesterday that a quilty business DID make it onto Shark Tank! Watch January 24th to cheer on Legit Kits!!
You are an amazing person and do fabulous things for so many people.
I love the scrappy tree pattern. Release soon so we can make it before the holidays!😊

Big yes on the scrappy tree quilt pattern! Scrappy anything terrifies me but this quilt makes me want to give it a try!!!

Oh no! I have never gotten on the wrong plane (though I did come close once!)
And I hope you had fun in New York...
I like to think of failures as learning experiences! 😊
I would love that Tree pattern!
Working on it!

Yes, getting close to 80k. Hoping to hit 100k this year (it has been my goal for the past 3 years... I think this is my year!!) ❤️
Keep moving forward! Love the shark❤
Thanks! And will do!
I don't usually do scraps, but I would make that tree quilt!

Breaking a bone - oh no!! and it *must* go up from here!
You should release the scrappy tree quilt now and not later. Not everyone is a fast quitter
Glad you had a Great time on the cruise!

I did! It was pretty incredible! While it was a bummer not to move forward, it was exciting to have the opportunity!
@CarolinaMoore I am so happy for your experience! And that you even created something worthy of applying is more than most people 🥰
Awww... thanks! ❤️

I don’t see #1 and #2 as fails at all!🎉
I think that's also part of the point... we're always hardest on ourselves...
What is scrap tape?!

Yes please to the scrappy tree pattern. Thanks for sharing. Your genuineness sets you apart!!❤❤ Much appreciated

I love this video. You are wonderful and these are just minor hiccups. Put that tree pattern out now.
Thanks! There is a saying in tech, "move fast and break stuff." hahahaha...
The shark would make a great kite. 🪁🪁🪁
Maybe? I think it is a little big to be a kite?
