Okay I know this won't earn me any internet points. I mean who starts a blog in 2022? But the truth is I've always wanted to so why not? I always thought a blog was simple. Go online, write what you feel and move on. hahahaha I was so wrong. As soon as you even start researching how to write a blog you are inundated with so much stuff. Choosing your platform and web host, choose free or choose your own domain. And everything out there demands that you choose a niche.
I am here to say that I have to break one of the biggest blogging rules. I cannot choose a niche. It goes agains everything I am. I am so much more than one interest and one hobby. I enjoy sewing, cross-stitch, photography, gardening, reading and I want to do so much more as well like learn to crochet so I can make a super cute granny square cardigan. What if I want to write about all of that??
I also have a life outside of arts and crafts. I'm a wife. A mother. An aspiring business owner. I have good days and bad days. (More bad it seems lately). I'm affected deeply by the events in the world and the things I see happening all around me. What if I want to share my heart on all of that too? I think humans are allowed to be good at more than one thing or at least allowed to try.
It all ebbs and flows. Some months I'm very much into sewing. Others I can't stop cross stitching. And usually in the spring you can't keep me out of my garden. My goal with this blog is to share all of that and to share my life. I'm not carefully curated and rarely ever picture perfect. I'm manic, messy, chaotic, and always got a new project or idea up my sleeve. So if that sounds like you please stick around because I could always use a new friend.
