Back at it!

Years ago, I started this blog as a way to post fabric that I had purchased wholesale so my friends and neighbors would have a way to look at it and decide if they wanted to buy anything.  Obviously I haven't used it for that in a LONG time.  But recently I've been doing little projects around the house, and I sometimes want to tell my mom or friends about what I've done.  I know I could take pictures & email them, but I had the thought that I should just post stuff on a blog.  That way, I could show people my projects, but also have a record of them myself!  I'm not sure why I want to keep a record of my meager attempts at creativity.  I guess part of it is because it brings back memories of times in my life.  For instance, the crib sets I made for my babies remind me of the excitement of anticipating a new baby, the nights getting up with them, and the sadness of finally putting all of that away.  I remember certain projects that I worked on during a difficult time, when I needed a project to take my mind off other problems.  So here it is, my very amateur record of what I like to do in my free time.  I've hesitated to take on making this record, knowing that I'd much rather be doing a project than blogging about it.  I'm also not a great photographer, and I don't have the patience right now to take photos of the entire process, so I apologize for my lack of professionalism.  But like I said, the doing itself is what I enjoy, and blogging about it is just a side note!  Enjoy!

I think it's so awesome that you're documenting the things you make ... and I especially relate to what you said about how projects remind you of certain times in your life. Documenting all of this will be a therapeutic thing for you (that you'll be grateful you have in the future), and so fun for the rest of us to see! Love you!
