Sue of Fadanista caught up with me to participate in the blog hop, cool invite. I accept the challenge and thanks a bunch Sue!
1.Why
do I write?
Hmmm,
I'm not sure you can really call it all writing on my blog but for
the sake of these questions we will. I started writing on my blog
because it was about dang time! I have always been interested in
blogging but I was always afraid, afraid that I wouldn't be any good
at this blogging thing. I like to talk about what I know and lately
it's been about DIY's. I like sharing how to make fabulous things
with others. I try to put a spin on the way I tell a story to my
readers because I want them to laugh, learn and come back...often...I
mean really often.

How is your blog different to
others of the same genre?
There
are a lot of bloggers out there blogging about DIY's, sewing, fashion
and crafts and those
are some of the main things that are on my blog. I look at
the other blogs to be inspired and to educate myself. I have been learning the
things that I should do and some things that I should not do. An
artist at heart I'm on the top of my game when it comes to visual
simulations,
meaning
that I am a serial picture taker and I proudly wear that badge
on my chest! I try to
push the boundaries in my creations, you know to give people something
to talk about. I can
only hope that I am more interesting than the others with the things
that I create
and my photography skills. Also, I like to share things, if I find something created by someone
else I'll share that too. If I complete a DIY that is not my own I
tell my readers exactly where I got my ideal/DIY from
so it's not always about me....I mean most times it is but not
always! But back to
the question, is my blog
different? You tell me.

What are you working on right now?
Too
many things! Seriously, I
just finished this awesome 70's maxi dress and
I have a dress to cut out in three different sizes for the monthly
stitch that I'm aiming to get done before Oct 31st.
I have a new purse that I'm trying to put together as well. Oh yeah
and my daughter is moving out of my house.....Whoot! Whoot! so we are
about to get down to do some serious furniture shopping in the next few weeks. I have two chairs in the garage to reupholster for her so,
there will also be
some Interior design projects in my horizon....and I'm also fixing up my basement for my sewing area....Ummm......I think that's about it right now.
4.
What is your writing process?
Don't
have one! Well maybe I do, I try to come up with a catchy title for
my posts and I love to play with words that are so on the verge
questionable taste that you just have to see what it's about.
Everything after that is on the fly.
Whew,
now that I'm done with that I want to share two bloggers that I found
and are so inspiring for different reasons. The first blogger speaks
to the Artist
in me. That
would be the one and only Cassie Stephens
She is a Art teacher and not only is her work awesome she makes these
spectacular outfits to boot. She loves felting and she makes me wanna
try it when I get a second me to start that project. And the reason
that I started sewing again was because of Mimi G
She
makes the most awesome clothing and watching her videos, reading her
blog took me back to when I used to sew, I went out and
bought a new machine dusted off my old ones and began creating again.
She is so inspirational it's crazy!
Aw, thanks, Michelle! I love your blog as well! I'd love to participate in this blog hop, thank you for tagging me :)
