I honestly have no idea what happened to keep me from following up with my plans. I wanted to start writing again and keep my blog going last year; I went so far as to make a plan for everyday to help me write something daily.
Maybe that was were I went wrong? I should just let my blog happen organically.
I'm going to bring back my blog, but not make any sort of solid plans. The only plan I'll try to keep is the picture a day. I did that for a year or longer in the past so it won't be hard for me. It will also help me motivate myself to save up money for a shiny new camera. If I'm taking pictures on a daily basis and I have a crappy camera then I'm sure it will bug me faster. It already is bothering me to have a new camera because I want to get better photos for my Etsy.
I currently only have one style of scarf on my Etsy and I took it with my less than fabulous web cam and camera on my phone. I would love to sell some scarves and really get my foot in the door when it comes to selling my craft.
I'm the type of person who loves be creative. Being creative is just something that has been in my bones from since I can remember. This is probably a good reason for why I got a degree in Theatre. Now I've branched out farther than Theatre to making things on my own.
I'm not opposed to making things with others; in fact I miss doing theatre but haven't had a chance to make it fit in right now. I'm trying to be more interested in doing me, being me, or whatever that means. I haven't been able to really promote myself to myself lately if that makes any sense at all. It's taken awhile for me to believe I could make something worth putting out there in the world. It's definitely been helpful having friends and family that support me too. I'm hoping 2014 will be a good year for me.
My next project is one I've been putting off for a long time because I didn't know where to begin. I put off Chad's scarf most of this winter season and I'm thinking that starting it now it will be done and all our snow will go away. So the faster I get it done the faster it is spring, right?! Right! That is what I'm going to tell myself because an end to this winter is means hope for everyone.
It will be a scarf with orange and brown that Chad picked out. I'm going to attempt to do a pyramid pattern that will alternate between colors. It is a new adventure for me and I look forward to it.
Here's hoping I make it through the rest of winter with out going bonkers and keep up with keeping myself up. You do you too. I'm just making little to no sense now so I should probably finish this blog.
Also, if you are still interested in this long blog post; I'm very surprised that my blog still gets views when I haven't made posts in a long time. I looked and I got around 18 views a few days ago and I hadn't posted a single thing in a year. I'm going to just claim it as a fluke. That or it's probably the new people following me on twitter checking out my blog. Nah, just a fluke.
