rationalize myself out of being sad every time. I decided to go back through all of my submissions (I only started last spring, mind you) and see what my "rate" was. In case you're interested, here are the stats (I was pleasantly surprised!)
27 total submissions
15 accepted
7 rejected
5 still in
The Land of MysteryIt still isn't helping since 4 of those rejections have been in the last two months, but oh well. (I worry "am I starting to suck?")

I'm impressed that you have designed 27 items! Screw getting them published, that is an accomplishment all on its own!
I'm really impressed too! I've just started designing my own patterns and I certainly don't think they are ready for sharing.
Love the colors of the swatch!
You're above the 50% positive rate, that's a GOOD THING!
