I was digging through the blog’s archives looking for something to share today …
the planned sponsor post has been delayed …
and I realized something.
And it wasn’t good.
As far as the blog goes, last year was a bust. I was just limping along. Using participation as a link party host as a crutch.
Will you please accept my apologies?
I’m literally scratching my head as to why some of you continue to come back here day after day. Especially after I dug even deeper and realized 2013 wasn’t much better.
I was in a serious slump. Comparing this blog to others. Doubting my projects. Doubting the blog. Doubting myself …
I’m so glad to report that I’m in a much better place. Much, much better. Much more confident. Much more focused. Much more motivated!
But in my defense, there were a few gems sprinkled throughout 2013 and 2014. Like my first mason jar craft project …
and Anthropologie sewing kit knock-off.
Though, I have to fee up, the post that accompanied this project was one of my snarkiest …
which, I’m guessing, was a reflection of my self-doubting-down-in-the-dumps mood back then.
I do remember this was one of the bright spots. And I truly loved how it turned out. 🙂
You can find the original post and snark-riddled tutorial here …

Such a fun idea! Jo
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Blogging looks easy, but it is hard work. The posts you think people will respond to get no response; the stuff you consider” fluff”, everyone seems to love! Hang in there and blog from the heart. You can’t go wrong!
Best regards,
Vicki
Awe, thank you! I truly appreciate your boost of support! 🙂 Linda
If I remember rightly, you did some pretty big and super cool projects last year. Stencilling the bedroom wall, wrote a book and wasn’t the new work area project last year? All made the blog. You may feel like you limped along a bit, but you also did some great work. Worth hang around to see, in my book.
That’s true – thanks for the reminder! And that book writing thing was pretty time consuming too! 🙂
My favorite mason jar project ever. It’s just perfect. Glad you’re coming out of the dumps.
