New Year, New Blog

Blogging?
I actually started a crafting/card making blog a few years ago but did not think I was as accomplished as many of the artists whose blogs I followed. Many of the projects I posted were cute but not jaw-dropping "WOW!" cards. Then I thought about posting recipes that friends ask me about when I bring a dish to a potluck or whatever else event that involves food. It would end up with just links to the sites I got the recipes from. Played with the idea of journaling my weight-loss journey but I fall off the wagon so often that it would not be very inspiring.

I am not an expert on anything. I don't think I have a truly original, patent-worthy idea. My husband says that I am good at expanding on an idea and making it better. I have a few hobbies and enjoy a variety of activities. Just a "Jane-of-some-trades" person.

So.....I figured it would be better to have a blog on ANYTHING. This way I am not limiting myself to a specific craft or food type or topic. I can write about whatever I am working on at the time.


Figuring out what to name the blog
Since I would be posting about a variety of topics, I wanted the name of the blog to be versatile. I am not very creative with themes or titles so it just needed to be simple and straight-to-the-point.

I don't exactly have time to work on a project each day considering my work schedule but it would refer to the project that I am working on THAT day. I will not be able to post something on a daily basis. On days that I have a project, I will plan to share it on the blog when time allows.


Projects: Works-in-Progress
I will not call these resolutions. There are a lot of things I want to work on, not only this year, but also on a continuing basis. I will provide more information about each project in future posts.

This is just a short list of what is "on deck."
* Write the Bible
     - this will be a 3.5 year project at a chapter a day pace
* Scripture Verse memorization
     - one verse a week
* Special Olympics scarves for the Winter Games
     - currently working on this, several states collect scarves for their athletes
* "Dr. Who" (Tom Baker, #4) scarf
     - for Hubby and Stacie, yes that is two (2)!
* Finish all other yarn projects that have been in limbo for a few months (years even!)
* Organize, Organize Organize
     - I really don't think this will have an end date
* Hand-Made Cards and Ornaments for Christmas 2016
     - have to seriously decrease my stash of paper and other supplies


Thank you for checking out the blog and I hope that you are able to get some good ideas whenever you visit.
