Well hello, hello. I hope that you are all well. Yes, I’m still floating about dear readers. It’s been a while since I last posted, 6 weeks exactly. I did dither about whether to carry on blogging or not. I had a bit of a crisis and I had to think long and hard why I blog.
Like many of you, I follow a good deal many blogs. Some only have a few followers, others have a large following. I somehow found myself comparing my blog to theirs and wondering what made them so popular. Was it the content, the writing style, the frequency of posts, giveaways, etc, etc. It made me feel somewhat inferior, you know, a bit like back in school and being the weird kid in the playground that people shun.
I didn’t really enjoy my childhood/teenage years much. I was always being compared to others who were always prettier, smarter, organised, focused …. perfect and popular! Oh, how I longed to be popular, I tried, but all in vain. I was me and I didn’t know how else to be. Fast forward 30 odd years to the present day and I find myself in blogland where it feels like I’m back in that playground again. On the fringes, surrounded by pretty, smart, organised and popular bloggers.
I’m not however a teenager but a mature woman of a “certain age”. What do I care if my blog is popular and receives pages of comments or not. My blog is an online outlet for my crafting makes. I’m happy to share my triumphs and disasters with other like-minded crafters out there, but it isn’t important if people stop by or not. It is my oasis of calm in a troubled world. It’s not perfect, it’s a bit crazy and zany at times, a bit like its author, but it is my oasis. I can go there knowing that whatever I post is fine and is accepted. Most importantly I “blog without obligation”. Some of you may already be familiar with this. If not, follow the link to find out more about Blogging Without Obligation.
So let me stop rambling, normal service will be resumed. I will be blogging again. Maybe not every day, but most certainly when I feel I want to share my crafty makes, my “Moley Makes”.
So, he made good use of an old pasting table, separated the two halves and laid out the houses, trees and people.
