I realized a couple of months ago that it had been a really
long time since I had posted anything at
that time I also discovered that the 25 motif challenge was no longer going to
be continued. I was super disappointed that I had let my blog laps and that I
didn’t even realize that the 25 motif challenge had decided that not enough
people were interested in having it continue. Believe it or not it was the 25
motif challenge that inspired me to start a blog in the first place and it has
been one of the big motivators to continue. When I found out that I totally
missed the opportunity to tell Sharon the blogger who runs the challenge how
very much her blog meant to me I was super bummed. Then I realized the reason
why I missed it was because I was so busy with everyday life that I let my own
blog go by the way-side so I truly have no idea how she found the time to run
such an amazing blog and I will always be grateful to her for her hard work and
for inspiring so many tatters and bloggers in so many ways.
I kind of lost interest to keep posting anything because I kind of felt like there wasn’t much
use to keep doing it because she was really the only person who probably read it anyway. But I have really come to
realize how much I have missed not blogging and how much I actually look back
to my own blog to remember what my past projects were or to come up with what
pattern I used to make a doily. I recently ran across a doily I had almost
completed but for some reason I was 4 motifs away from finishing it so I looked
back to my blog to find exactly what doily it was and where to find the
pattern. I have decided to try to go back and post a
couple of my last projects before I cant remember them at all. I doubt very much that I will remember much
about each project but I am going to do my best.
Yes, a blog is a good personal record. It can also be a good way to connect with others with similar interests. Sharon did a marvelous job on the challenge, hats off to her.
ReplyDeleteSharon is my hero for all the work she put in!
DeleteGlad to see you back! Now lets's see some tatting!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! I kinda feel special. Smiles!
DeleteGood to see you back :-) I miss Sharon's round-up, too, even though I follow most of the blogs (which I reached through her). I agree with Jane's perspective.
ReplyDeleteHope you remain active :-)
Wow thank you so much! I have poured through your blog tons but I am usually just a voyeur to blogs...to shy to post much! Hugs
DeleteYou'dbe surprised by how many people read blogs but never comment. Glad you are starting it up again
