First off I feel terrible that it's been over FOUR MONTHS since I last posted here! So HAPPY NEW YEAR! MERRY CHRISTMAS and all that sha-bang..... I do feel guilty neglecting the blog and my dear readers, I am sorry. I toyed with the idea of getting rid of the blog all together, as it was a constant reminder of how I can't keep up this blogging regularly enough and what a blogging failure I have turned out to be. But then I thought, actually it still has it's place, it's just the way it is. I'm obviously not a regular blogger type but I can still use it for something good and hopefully bring something my readers would like to hear/see/think about, all be it occasionally.
So times are a changing here on the blog and hopefully for the better. I won't try to post fascinating insights every few weeks or give wonderful anecdotal stories with a inspirational message (as if I ever did that anyway, but I always hoped that I would...). I don't even want to use it as a way to solely show and promote my work (we've got my Facebook page for that any way). Sometimes I might just post a picture up that I've seen and thought worth sharing, or maybe I'll just say a thought that's been going through my mind and just needing to 'get it out there' into the cosmic ether. Hopefully to connect with you out there who maybe feel the same or can take something useful from it, that would be nice.... I guess what I'm trying to say, dear reader, is that from today this blog will be simply- 'me', unaltered, in all my strange thinking, random weirdness way. I suppose it's a type of new years resolution - learning to just be myself - in front of you all - and being ok about it....
I too have a similarly neglected blog, that was a constant source of guilt AND when I did post it was usually 'filler' posts like Etsy treasuries (which are nice y know, but not if that is your whole blog like it was with mine!). I'm making a similar resolution, to be more 'me' in my blog, because i think I was so scared to share stuff in case people didn't like it, that my blog ended up being quite boring! I really love your voice in this post, you can just hear that it's YOU and that makes it easy to connect with.
