Why Do I Blog?

I have had blogger's block over the past several months, and have just not felt like I had much to share. I've never been a prolific blogger anyway but now I am down to just a couple of posts a month.

I started reading blogs several years ago when my creative sister in law started her own blog.  I thought I could do that and it might be a good way to kinda keep in touch with friends and family in Ontario- they could read my blog and know what I was up to. Mostly it has been a quilting blog, and now over the past few months, I've not written much at all. I read many blogs, most of those quilting blogs, and everything from Barbara Brackman and her history of quilting to  The Bitchy Stitcher who makes me laugh. I enjoy reading about everyone's creativity but seriously- where do people find the time to not only be so creative, but to write about it every day as well? This is not a criticism of anyone, but don't you wonder sometimes?

I work almost full time. I am a wife, mother, doggie mother, and a volunteer. I love to read and play Suduko. I am a card maker and poor scrapbooker. I keep fit. I visit with friends and family. I also love to quilt, and time spent in any kind of quilting pursuit is when I am most relaxed and happy. (Note to Tony- second only to you, hun.)

So, in answer to my own question, I blog to share my creativity, and hope that I might write about something interesting, but I don't always have anything quilty to share. I plan on sharing a few more parts of my life, and not just talk about quilting because although I tell people "I am a quilter",  I am much more than that.

And in order to not have a pictureless post, I will share this:

Tony with his girlfriend. I am a very understanding woman.

Have a wonderful weekend.
