hello world

Well, I guess this is it! I've wanted to write a sewing-based blog since 2009. I had the idea, though, that if a blog were to be successful it had to have top-notch content, fantastic pictures, and it needed to be updated daily. I was in grad school and working then, and there was just no way. My projects are also only sometimes successful and I look dopey in pictures, and I'm really pretty shy. I just wasn't cut out to be a blogger. I've followed many blogs religiously ever since, and I've seen that some of my favorite bloggers aren't all that perfect either. I've seen a real community form and grow, and I've wished to be a part of it. I've seen bloggers create beautiful sites with a wealth of information for themselves and others as they document their projects.

So this is my attempt to do something I've always dreamed of, make it my own, and hopefully build some friendships along the way. I see this as a spot to record my projects, whatever they may be, and I also want to post about my outdoor adventures in the bay area and other things I love. This is my spot, and I'm going to make it mine.
