Call it a quarter-life crisis or what have you (at almost thirty, maybe that should be a 1/3 life crisis, but hey I’ve always been a late bloomer) but I’m jumping on the crafty blog-wagon. I spend a good 1/2 hour of my day catching up with the blogs of others that inspire me with their crafting (see sidebar). I don’t want to do this to put myself on other people’s blog rotations for some sort of notoriety, and I don’t think that’s why most of my favourite bloggers do this either. I think that a craft-blog is not only a great way to keep a tally of projects and ideas but a way to share a large part of my life in a non-presumptuous way. I don’t think I’m the most innovative person to pick up sticks out there, checking some the other blogs I have linked on the sidebar will probably prove that, but I am crafty and creative. I want to share my passion for crafting with everyone in the way that so many others have shared their passion with me.
I’m also excited to learn new things. I’m a total techniphobe, really. For all the time I spend on this here innernets, I really don’t feel comfortable posting photos, writing code or any of that other stuff. I’m hoping that by having a blog, I’ll force myself to learn these things. Because really, who wants a blog that isn’t purty?
Hey, can I be first? This is very cool – I love the “iceberg” theme. I have only been blogging for a short time myself, and I still do not know how to put live links in my text or make the text wrap around the photos in an attractive way (if at all). That is only the first things that come to mind. I did learn to post photos (Blogspot uploads them in reverse order – what a nuisance!). I don’t have a list of favorites (or of anything else) on my sidebars. I guess I could spend more time working on things like that, but I would rather knit!
I will check in again soon. Can’t wait to see what you are knitting!
