So I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front for sometime. I've been prioritising my sewing time as it was very scarce over the summer and having a think about blogging in general.
My little boys started school last week. It's such a massive change for the whole family and I felt a bit lost without them last week! But with them at school now, I should be able to do a bit more sewing and blogging. Which I'm obviously very excited about!!
I love to read other people's blogs and really find them useful as I research a pattern I want to make. So this is one of the reasons that I want to continue to blog. Along with having a record of what I've made and some notes for the next time I make it. But I did find that I put myself under too much pressure to blog, then felt guilty when I didn't! I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else? But taking a 'break' from it (from the pressure too) has allowed me to miss it and work out why it was important to me. Now I've done that I think I will give myself less of a hard time if I don't manage to blog about something I've made.
That said I do have a backlog of makes and other things like a pattern drafting course to talk about...so maybe I'll see you again soon:)
Good luck if you enter the giveaway!
