I thought with all of the podcasting I do, that I was sort of done with blogging. I always felt pressure to be clever on cue, blog regularly, have adorable pictures, what have you, so blogging always felt like a chore instead of a joy.
A year or so ago I found Twitter and loved it – still do! I got in the habit of sharing my thoughts with people again. 140 characters was perfect – no pressure! No pictures needed! I could write when I felt like it, publish in seconds, and not have it take up any space in my already crowded brain.
And I still write patterns by the dozen, and a new book is almost finished, and I did some videos for a video company, and a bunch of guest blogs and articles, and I am blessed to have as much work or more than I can handle. But I realized recently that I don’t write for me anymore, or at least not more than 140 characters at a time.
So here I am, back where all this crafty stuff started, at the Alpaca Addict blog. With a gratuitous alpaca picture for you all. I am not promising anything here to anyone but myself – but when I have stories to tell, here is where I am going to tell them!
BTW, my friends above are on the Silken Suri Alpaca Ranch in Colorado, which I visited the week before last. Shortly thereafter, LL and I got stuck in Denver due to Hurricane Irene. Interestingly enough, the last post I wrote here detailed how I had gotten stuck in St. Louis due 
to a canceled flight. Clearly, I fly too much 🙂
I think blogs are great but I also think that many people put too much pressure on themselves about them when really it should be a fun endeavor a majority of the time. If it works for you and we see you more, that's awesome. If Twitter works better for a lot of things, that awesome, too. Whatever works for you works for us. 🙂
