I think that I enjoy blogging more and get less stressed about it when I brainstorm ahead of time about topics I’d like to write on. I try to think of different aspects of different themes that I’d like to explore.

And, lately, I’ve been trying to be less of a perfectionist about what I post.

I would love it if you started a blog; I love the crafts that you make. (Sometimes I’m a little jealous of your crafting and organizational skills, I must admit.)

Thanks for saying hi. You encourage me.

I totally hear you on scheduling time to be creative. It’s hard when my schedule feels so full, but usually any time that I invest in creativity re-energizes me so much! Lately every couple weeks I’ve tried to focus on doing a smallish-size project on a specific day. So this Saturday, I know I need to make enough time to sew a clothespin bag that I’ve been wanting to make for a few weeks. I know it won’t take forever, and it will make me really happy.

I’ve also been thinking about starting a blog… being able to look at crafty things that I’ve created inspires me to try more. I’m trying to get more of a defined idea of what I want from a blog before I start it… any tips you have on how your blog has helped you creatively without being another thing on your to-do list would be great! I know you’ve touched on that subject a little bit before, so I’ll have to look through your older posts.

And I’m glad you are back to blogging; you definitely add to the beauty through the words and stories you share, and it inspires me!
