Beginnings

Lately, I had been thinking about starting a blog to log in the things I'm interested in doing like my craft and sewing projects, my vintage sewing pattern collection, what I'm reading,  and whatever else I'm into lately.  I thought it would be fun to see all that in one place because I always enjoy reading other people's blogs on things that interests me.  I admire those people who've kept up their blog over the years but on the other hand, I think it must be alot of work to do that so I've never been able to get going with my own blog.  However, I started to think maybe I can attempt to do it if I keep things simple and not really go crazy with this.  It might be fun to do and anyways, I don't think I would probably get alot of people looking at this thing.  I haven't even told anyone except my husband about this blog because right now, I'm just doing this for me.

Also, I need something else to occupy and consume some of my time because work life has gotten so hectic and stressful.  Usually, new hobbies normally make me feel better because I don't have to think about whats going on at work.  I work for a consulting firm that is virtually paperless and that allows me to work from home most of the time.  For the most part, it is a wonderful job, and I'm very satisfied with my career but it is stressful and demanding at times.  Having a life outside of work is very important because work can be very consuming so if I'm not able to balance my work/life, it can be damaging to my mind and soul. 

So for this blog, I want to focus on my hobbies.  I'm forever learning how to sew my clothes.  I keep stopping because I keep getting frustrated with it and then later, I restart again.  Hopefully, I can continue to sew and keep learning until I'm a pro at it.  I'll probably focus on that for the most part but other things of interest will pop up here and there.  Ok then, let's do this blog.
