New Resolve!

I have been avoiding my blog. I wanted to start one for so long, but doing it is much harder than dreaming about it. I thought about it today while reading some of my favorite blogs, and while scrubbing my head in the shower. Somehow the act of washing my hair must make my brain get stimulated. I do some of my deepest thinking in the shower.

I have an admission to make. I am a fraud. My profile picture is from a couple years ago after I went to Weight Watchers, then went on a mission trip and got a parasite and lost more weight. I'm a little fatter than the profile picture. Now you know.

My sewing room pictures are also sort of "faked". I mean that's what the space looks like......sorta. That's the way it looks in my head, with me ignoring piles that are not organized. I posted one of my pictures on Facebook and everyone commented about how organized it looks. I felt like a liar because BEHIND the shelves was a horrible mess. Right now it is organized, my version of organized. I have a lot of stuff, it can only be so organized. I am happy with it, and still working on the organized side. Whew, got that off my chest!

And this blog is not only about my basement and fabric. The name of my blog was the best I could do. I'm just horrible at naming things, especially if I think someone is going to make a decisions based on it. This blog is going to be not only about my basement full of fabric, but about whatever else I'm making and doing and will probably have more pictures of my cats or dog, it's just inevitable. My kids complain when I take their picture, and frankly, they don't have that "awwwww" cuteness that babies, toddlers and pets have. (I don't think they will read this, shhhhh, don't tell them I said that).

My last big confession is that I am not as peppy and nice as my blog was sounding. I am nice, or I WANT to be, but I'm not always as nice as I should be. I've been trying to get my family to call me "wonder wench" (an old term I learned describes someone who is a sweetheart) but it is just not sticking. I want to make this sound more like my own voice, because when I read other people's blogs that I love, I think I know them. I want to be the nice me, but me.

So here we go again, with me resolving to do this better.

And soon I will post pictures of what you couldn't see in my other sewing room pictures, as soon a I find the stinkin' things!
