...sooo... I am back. I haven't written on this blog for over a month - been busy with bazaar and such.
Now I'm stuck with a dilemma. Do I keep this blog going - or do I just let it die a wonderful silent blog death? I know, I know, there is the faithful clan of my sisters who want me to keep going. But really, I will tell you what I do with my life either way.
What I'm not loving is knowing there's all these lurkers - the ones racking up past 8000 views to this blog, but don't give feedback or comment. I am not saying everyone has to comment everytime they view a blog. Not at all. I rarely do. Unless I know the person writing it.
I always feel like a huge nerd, thinking about posting stuff on here that I make. (As if it's really show-worthy! :D) So then to think of all these people that I really know, or sorta know, or are somewhat aquainted to me, reading this, and I wonder what they think! Say something!
I picture people I know reading this (but never commenting), thinking "Oh here she goes again!", while rolling their eyes.
I mean, I COULD just ignore them and keep posting about nerd craft with my kids, Spoonflower designs & news etc, but at this point I feel .... embarrassed? Insignificant person trying to be interesting? Something like that. Then again, I started this blog to just have an outlet for creativity/thoughts/whatever that isn't your standard mom-chore. And only for fun, not to aquire a pile of followers. So I could keep going thinking only that.
I sound like a whiner I'm sure. I just feel stupid at this point to keep a blog going that way too many read & only comment on outside of blogworld.
Soo I leave you with this. The lady is awesome.

LOL!!! You are funny. 1st of all, I read your blog cuz it's inspiring. It's funny. It's real. It makes me laugh (not AT you). If I ever roll my eyes it's because I 1. recognize myself
2. becasue you put yourself down when you shouldn't!!!
This is a free world. People chose to come to this site for whatever reason. Maybe some snicker and laugh behind your back (I doubt it), but if they do find comfort in knowing you made someone laugh. I think you make some of jealous (I am, but not in a bad way, more in a "WOw, I wish I was more like that" kind of way. And even if we keep in touch otherwise too, this is different! I think most peoples life are more interesing than themselves give it credit for! I know I write my blog for me. And I hope you keep doing this blog for you. And me. xoxo kaisa
I totally agree with Kaisa... (would I dare not to? She'd pull my hair if I didn't...or something.)
Oh, and yes - as my favorite author would say:
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." (Dr.Seuss) <3
Love ya! Keep blogging. LOVE seeing your stuff, and am SUPER PROUD of you. So there!
Hi it's Heidi:) Sorry your probably talking about me!!.. i told you i like to look at your blog and yes, i guess i never comment. I'm not trying to come across as a lurker, i promise! I love to see what you put on here- and lots of other ppls'- but never thought it rude(??) to not comment. (Probably usually lack of time that i don't!) I guess i figure people writing public blogs don't care who looks at it. As for me - i love seeing your creations and would say keep it up! but true, if you're uncomfortable putting pictures etc. online could go the safe route too - password only or something??
Oh Heidi, I actually forgot you even read on here, so no, I wasn't trying to point finger at you!! Sorry if it sounds like I'm picking at people!!
I meant more when I hear people making it sound dumb that I even have a blog - but I shouldn't worry about that huh. Thanks anyway for commenting - the bad thing about blogger is they can't have password protected blogs. I'd have to switch to an entirely new site. Sounds like a pain :)
Thanks again for your input though!!
