I have been having a discussion with myself regarding blogging as well. I kind of dropped doing regular blogging, and then remembered that the reason I blog, for me at lest, is basically a digital version of scrapbooking--a record for my grandchildren of what I did, what I made, what things interested me. I think it helps to think in terms of the smaller audience whom you are really writing for, makes things more intimate and personal, rather than trying to write for the world at large. Anyway, I found when I finally wrote a blog post this week that I am really rusty in the writing department. (not sure why I'm wordy here in this comment....). Oh, and I like to use a lot of ellipses when I write...Live a Colorful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06258513987513144582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-19827766052291734592015-03-05T05:57:46.840-08:002015-03-05T05:57:46.840-08:00love your blog! just saying....love your blog! just saying....kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551461382630956289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-49224091976077756432015-03-04T16:45:31.779-08:002015-03-04T16:45:31.779-08:00Well said and very poignant!Well said and very poignant!KaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-91134214331072301242015-03-04T14:29:19.254-08:002015-03-04T14:29:19.254-08:00I can very much relate.

After a break, I started posting pictures of and thoughts about my daily walks through my neighborhood. And got NO comments! Ouch! Then I started posting pics of my knitting and sewing and still got no comments. I figured that I'd just lost everyone and that people must not read blogs anymore and that made me so sad. But after a while, I realized that I shouldn't care about comments. Without worrying what people want to read, I am free to post about whatever I want. And I love blogging now! And I love sewing again and there is no pressure and it's fun. I only have a few readers (and even fewer commenters) but I do treasure them...it's a supremely humbling thing to know that someone I don't even know in real life has taken a few minutes of their precious short life on this Earth to read my blog and my thoughts. That is a true gift!!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246323377929476660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-20202776064956469922015-03-04T06:21:03.931-08:002015-03-04T06:21:03.931-08:00So relate!

I can totally understand your reasoning about getting too big on the blog. I'm small and like it that way. It's got to be hard when you have a whole lot of people clamoring for your attention. And possibly judging. But I think you do a lovely job, italics and all. :)hydeeannsewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995021008434563956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-64722838778997576632015-02-28T17:57:28.964-08:002015-02-28T17:57:28.964-08:00I can relate.

I loved rambling on and sharing the peculiar news of each week with people that I would see off and on during the season [and those conversations were a delight]. But the larger our customer base got, the less I wanted to share for all those imagined pressures that weighed upon my mind. It became more and more a labor and less and less the sharing of my joys and bumps on the road of life... and I needed my joy. And you need yours. I would happily pretend to be your mother while you ramble on to her. I do ramble and I read it well too. :) And I suppose I am an old lady [still 17 but only in my head] so it's not that far a jump. :)tlcala4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814984991241314101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-56465791206366830662015-02-25T18:19:51.703-08:002015-02-25T18:19:51.703-08:00Please consider me that kindly little old lady tha...Please consider me that kindly little old lady that you could talk about quilts with all day without drama. I have followed your blog for a long time and your work is lovely (as is your photography). I do worry a little about the decline in blogging as it is the quilt blog community that taught me how to quilt. Such generosity I now realize came with quite a bit of effort on the part of each blogger who took the time to write a tutorial, share a hint or even narrate through how they made design choices. I am so appreciative of their efforts and, yes, I should say thank you to people like you who have inspired my quilt adventure!Kathy@KayakQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11353296552837405021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-10650588372035983522015-02-25T16:37:22.883-08:002015-02-25T16:37:22.883-08:00I've read your blog for a long time, and you a...I've read your blog for a long time, and you always inspire me.

I'm in the midst of the end of my second year of blogging, still loving it but I don't seem to have the same casual prose as when I started...and my mom and that one lady from church were the only ones reading it... I love the idea of my reader being just one kindly lady who loves quilts and peruses my recent finishes with a cup of tea. That makes it a fun conversation. A casual one with laughter involved.

The musy (not a word, I think, but do you care?), real-life, journaly, friendly conversations are what makes the community more than a marketplace. Blogs that are all "perfection" and "look what you can buy!" get boring, fast! That's what the magazines are for.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877622808596985350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-56398363452936399392015-02-23T06:24:00.067-08:002015-02-23T06:24:00.067-08:00Please keep blogging!
