blog? what blog?

this is a blog.

a blog is a web log. you know that right? Well, sadly I have been neglecting my blog for quite some time. Now in it's sixth year, my posts have declined in the last 12 months. 

But after a conversation yesterday I was reminded of the importance of having an active blog if I want to have a web presence. My website is about to undergo a major revamp. I'll blog about that when it happens.

So often I have sat down and started writing. But never to hit the publish button. So perhaps I need to keep my blogs short until I find the groove again.

So for today.....

dreaming of sewing and crayons

needing to finish paintings

feeling choked like a jar full of dirty water and paintbrushes

desiring to complete projects for shows

taking time to package orders

crossing off tasks on my to do list.

Oh, how I feel the same. It seems from these comments that six years might be the blog version of the seven year itch!

I started in 2006, so I'm in my sixth year too, and struggling to devote as much time and post as much as I once did. I did recently decide to recommit, but then moved house and crashed on people's sofas for a bit, which is never conducive :D

I love reading your blog and getting a glimpse into your world. I'm with Ali - if you're writing, I'm reading!

I know the feeling.. I have a hard time deciding what and what not too share.. But I love seeing your blog posts every time you do.. So maybe I should share more too :)

I've been finding the same thing with my blog too, Tiel. I think there are so many arenas now - Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook etc for showing things that blogging is on a serious decline. Shame really... call me old fashioned but I do like the blog. You get to hear more of the story behind things and it really is connecting rather than just hitting a 'like' button. Anyway, I'm glad you're going to be posting more... just have to make myself do that too ;)

I'm finding blogging in the sixth year a little challenging too, if truth be told. But if you're writing here, I'm reading.
