Do
And so this is Christmas.
And what have I done.
Another year older.
And I got nuttin.
This here little blog is about to hit the 2 year mark and, as much as I enjoy the concept of it, I haven't exactly been the best maternal figure to it. For it? Ug.
I ran into an old (time not age) producer friend in the fabric store this week and she told me she reads my blog. Wow. I mean, I guess I knew SOME people read this thing because I get comments once in a while. But I was pretty certain I knew which 5 people in the world they were. So, this threw me for a loop. It also threw me because I was standing with a current producer friend whom I work with now and from whom I have been careful to keep the blog. Nothing personal, really, but I try very hard not to mix work with life. And while she has certainly crossed over that fine line, I didn't want to put her in the position of knowing about this.... whatever. Who am I kidding? It's not like I am Dooce or anything. I don't know why I kept it a secret.
I am rambling (which is why I rarely post). The reason I am writing is because the producer I saw in the store told me about her blog. I checked it out and, frankly, I am jealous. I want to post everyday with pictures of the fun stuff I am making and doing. I mean, the blogs I look at are generally those kinds of blogs. I spend hours looking at Angry Chicken and All Sorts and oh, so many great blogs. I dream of being the fun creative mommy like Amy. I want to buy Japanese craft books and make cute dresses. I want to decorate my house with cute little things that I've made with love and care. And I want to take pictures of those things and put them on my blog and have people go "oooo" and ask for me to tell them how I did it.
I have dreams, but dreams cost, and right here's where I start paying. So, hold me to this - all 5...I mean 6 of you who read this thing. Make me be all that I can be.

Reader number 7 here.
I don't know if this helps but all I have is my blog. Everyone close to me rolls their eyes when I get excited by something and want to talk about it, so I blog it.
I love reading my own blog every morning and think...
"Hey, this guy is just like me."
Actually, you are number 4!
Do it do it do it.
Your audience awaits.
Love,
Reader (Insert # here)

Reader #.....
Just call me the "Outer" I shall insert my crafty foot back in my crafty mouth. But hey, the last time I opened my big mouth you hooked up with with someone from your old hood.
Sometime you win sometimes..not so much.
Have a great New Year
