In honor of the months of work I have been putting into making handmade items, mostly crocheting and just recently sewing, I am adding something new! This is it...
...over the past year I, like most people, have become obsessed with Pinterest. The aspect of Pinterest that I enjoy most is the visual dialogue created by multiple images between friends and strangers. Some of the collections of images, boards, tell a story, some images are things you want, but all of the images are a way to save your ideas and likes for later.

Onto the 'something new!' I wish I had started this back when I had less than 100 pins, but alas. There can be so much information about a person, packed into a pin. I want to share what I have stashed away in one image. Months ago I was listening to a post by Design*Sponge creator Grace Bonney on her weekly podcast After the Jump. Bonney was talking about how the trend for blogs was swaying towards a mostly visual aesthetic. Blogger were straying from the 'long-winded' written elements of a post and going the way of Pinterest and Tumblr. She seemed to be debating whether to take a hold of this trend or keep on keeping on the Design*Sponge aesthetic, image plus text.
So, I am assuming this aesthetic as well as embracing the visual and ease of a pin. I may not write about all of the pins and I may not have a direction for what the content will be, but I hope with time my trending categories of my life style come through.
