Hello all and Happy New Year to you! A brand spanking new year is an amazing gift isn’t it? A huge blank slate. A time to plan, to start over, and to dream of all the wonderful things you can accomplish this year.
I have been thinking a lot in the past six months about this blog, whether to continue doing it, feeling guilty about not posting frequently enough, toying with the idea of creating other blogs for other topics, wondering if anyone still reads this one?
If you’ve been here before you’ll know that my blog is predominantly a craft blog with a few wee sprinkles of other parts of my life. I’ve read a lot of blog tips and advice and one major point has always been to find your niche and stick to it like glue. I always thought crafts, particular paper crafts was my niche and my passion but honestly I have many passions and I really want to share them with anyone who will listen (or read them).
So I have made the executive decision to write about all my passions right here on this single blog. The truth about blogging is that you are the owner of your blog, it’s yours, you are in controland you have absolute power. I like the sound of that. It really comes down to this – if I want to write about plucking my eyebrows then I can and will, even though it’s not craft related (or it could be if I plucked them into a pretty pattern I suppose). In life there is always going to lots of advice around about anything and everything but in the end you need to go with your gut or your heart or whichever body part you wish. This to ME feels like the right thing.
Yes my dear friends there will be a shift of focus in 2015, but don’t worry I still intend on posting lots of crafty goodness, after all it is a rather large passion of mine!
Wondering what to expect from now on? Here’s a list of some of the topics I’d like to talk about in 2015…
Simplifying
Cooking/Baking
Decluttering
Organising
Finance and Saving Money
Cleaning
Gardening (or my poor attempts at it)
Relationships
Careers/Early Retirement
Arts and Crafts
Blogging
Health
It’s a pretty big list I know but I’m hoping there will be enough variety for everyone. Are you planning any big changes in 2015? Which direction are you going in? I’d love to hear about it and if you’re a fellow blogger please leave a comment so I can come visit!
