I love to talk embroidery, duh! When I was thinking that I wished I could talk with lots of embroiers and perhaps have my experiences shared, there were no blogs (at that time) on the ME sites. I tried a blog on my own and could never get it to have much of an interest or viewings. I was discouraged.
Then I saw Ann's updated site and I was hooked! I could not wait to try to do a blog. I submitted my ideas for a blog and I was asked to 'give it a try.' Greg did not know what he was in for! I was so excited to start that I could not sleep for 3 days! (This is a true story!) Well, I have 3 months of blogs completed and I love it! I am no expert, I am just someone who loves ME and sharing what I know.
I am putting this information (below) so everyone can see what blogging is about. People do ask me about blogging, so read this and get your information to Greg. He wants to know what you would like to discuss and you could be next!
I began a Blog here as The Avid Embroiderer. I love to talk embroidery and could do so 24/7. I discovered that I can do what I love and still have time for sleeping and living and those silly things that get in the way of ME.
People ask me all the time about blogging, so I am going to anwser it here. Blogging is like talking with a friend about a new project. For instance, I think about what I have already done and write about that for some blogs. I describe how I worked through the process and what I learned.
Then there is doing something new. ME enthusiasts always want to try something new and I am no exception. So, for my most recent blog, I did a Cutwork Napkin. I have to say that I am glad I had a blog so I could share my enthusiasm about that project. So, I start my project and take lots of photos. As I go along, I keep stopping to be sure photos are available, and reasonably good - that is the hard part! When my project is complete, I look over my photos and just write about what I was doing.
So, I already wanted to do the project, so nothing different there. Then I take photos, that is the only different thing I have to do. Then I write about the photos. Then I have a blog! It really is that easy.
If you have a craft, and it does not have to be embroidery, you could do a blog too. If you check the top of the blog page, it says how to have your ideas considered. In fact, I would love to hear more about gardening and flowers and photography and - - well, lots of things that are of general interest.
Consider blogging, it is one great way to meet and make friends!
