Hello. Keeping up with a blog can be difficult, but even more difficult when all your crochet projects have been put on the back-burner. I want to share a bit of what I’m thinking for this blog. If I can try to keep myself to weekly posts, I plan to rotate through a monthly schedule of 4 articles.
What do I want to write about…? Projects mostly, among other things that I really like to do. A lot of things fall under the category of “crafts” but mostly I just like to be creative, and would like to share that here. I also like to travel, read, paint, organize, etc. I’m teaching myself to knit as well as other crochet techniques, and I’d like to share that here as well.
Books
I love books! While it’s not a craft, reading is something I really enjoy. I’d like to share that here, starting with a monthly “review” of books I read throughout the month or would like to read. In general, I like to use sites like Goodreads or have discussions with friends to keep myself accountable with reading. Not every book will be a page-turner, but that does not make it a bad book. Trying to create and sustain a goal of at least one book a month with the idea to write about it could benefit me. And like everyone my age, I am self-important and would like to share my thoughts with the internet!
Do not worry, I’m not in some kind of fantasy world where I genuinely believe that everyone needs to read my book reviews… but I want to write some more, and I really enjoy discussions about books.
Travel
Another thing is that I would love to share my travel photos and experiences here… I think that would be nice. I’m not a photography expert or anything, but I enjoy editing and traveling and it is something I would like to get back into. Personally, I don’t have much advice about traveling, at least nothing useful that you probably haven’t heard before. Either way, it might be nice to share some experiences or overall just nice things to do.
I enjoy hiking and would love to share photos from trips like that as well. You might see posts about travel, hiking, photography, etc. One of my favorite things about traveling is food and culture. I enjoy learning while traveling. I’m not a historian or art critic or anything but I still enjoy listening to the stories.
Gaming/Television
I’m not sure how much of this I can actually contribute, but I do enjoy indie games and have opinions that might be fun to write about. And I like TV shows, I don’t know much about television in general, but in the same veil as reading this could be an interesting topic to discuss.
New Skills
As I mentioned, I’m trying to learn to knit and new techniques for crochet. I will use this space to share my knowledge from learning new techniques. There are a lot of different types of skills I would like to learn this year. These aren’t just crafting skills but any other skills I would like to share here. I will definitely keep a greater emphasis on crochet/crafting over other skills, but I’ll try to keep you up to date on anything that might be fun to talk about.
I have a couple of projects I have worked on or am currently working on that I would love to share here and have every intention to, it’s just difficult to create an entire blog post about every project. I’m hopeful that blogging more regularly will help with the writing as well. I want to put more effort into learning writing, exercising, programming, painting, and sewing. We’ll see where that goes.
Why?
It’s not a great reason, but I just had a recent birthday, and for me this allows me to reflect on my year and everything I’ve done, and this fell into the category of something I would like to invest more time into. So there you have it! Hopefully there will be more to come!
