WHY AM I HERE

So I've been doing all this fretting, worrying, stressing about blogging. I want to do it, but I so want to do it right, and since I'm not sure I can do it right I haven't really done it. I've now decided that there is no right....it just is what it is. Just as I is what I is. I'll try to share a little more of who I is and the things I is doing and those I hope to do.

CURIOUS SOFA HALLOWEEN

Who would have guessed back in 1995 when I closed my first shop and left the Kansas City area to follow my husband's career path to the great Northwest that one day I would be visiting KC often (via the Internet) for doses of inspiration and the very best eye candy ever! Deb Dusenberry - the brilliant, creative, savvy force behind Curious Sofa is who I want to be when I grow up. We have never met, I've not been back to KC since she opened her business so my knowledge of her is only through her words and photos BUT what words and what photos! If you have not yet met her and seen her work (and creating the business she has is a work of art!) run right over to her blog http://www.curioussofa.blogspot.com/

and then her online store

I'll let her tell you her story.

To Blog or Not to Blog

Why do I so very much want to blog and why do I so struggle with it? (I'm doing that thinking thing again.) I love blogs, I adore them; they make me smile and swoon and giggle and laugh and ohh and ahh and wonder and wish. They inspire me and energize me. I so very much appreciate each and every post I read. I want to give back to all those bloggers who have made me smile, swoon, giggle, laugh... I worry that I won't.
I want to give you all great eye candy - but I so suck at taking pictures! (Really - I do! Have you scrolled down to my last photo attempt? See what I mean?)
I want to give you all what you have given me ... that feeling of being part of a great big circle of creative, curious, generous, gracious, fun, fanciful and just plain wicked awesome women.
So I'm going to try to get past the thinking (aka fretting & worrying) and just go with the doing.

JUST THINKING

I think about this blog every day. Really, I do. I think about what I want from it. I think about what I want for it. I think about why I want to do it. I think about the things I want to say & the people I want to say those things to. I think about questions I want to ask & the people I hope might answer. I think about the things I know I want to share & the things I wonder if I should share. I think I think too much. I do a whole lot of thinking but not a whole lot of doing. I think it is time to change that. What do you think?
