I've resisted having a blog for a VERY long time. Mainly because I have never liked diaries, journals or generally noting what is happening on any sort of regular basis.
But, over on About.com's Quilting Forum, where I have been a participant since Before Dirt, there is a topic titled "Sew Daily Challenge". It was created so that we could essentially jot down the 15 minutes a day that we did creative stuff related to sewing. The concept was that you can do amazing things in just 15 minutes a day. (Of course, the same thing could be applied to house cleaning, but we are not going to go there.)
It seemed to me that as I posted the small things I was doing on a (kinda/sorta, more or less, not exactly) daily basis, *this* was a blog of sorts ... only everything that I was doing would get lost in the postings of what everyone ELSE was doing.
Hence, the resurrection of this blog.
My intent is to talk about what I'm doing on a (kinda/sorta, more or less, not exactly) daily basis. No promises! The UFOs that I'm working on, the quilting that are loaded on Lizzie (my longarm quilting machine is a Tin Lizzie 18), ideas floating through my head, the bizarre/mutant/idiotic chickens we have, and just "stuff".
And since this is just *my* stuff that I'll be talking about, I will have a record to look back on. Maybe "stuff" won't get lost so easily. :-)
For anyone who happens upon this blog, I welcome your comments. Of course, if you are a scum bag, heave-ho, ye scurvy cockroacher .... we don't wants your kind on this blog!
