Jealous

Ok, I admit it, I get jealous..it’s a nasty word and feeling, isn’t it.  Right now my main issue is dreaming up snappy ideas and titles for my blogs..How do you witty and bright bloggers come up with ideas to write about..??

I think my problem is I do not have a ‘NICHE’ blog..I don’t speak of decorating much., but I guess I could take some shots of the house and talk about how I decided to do what I did here, decorating style anyway.  There are some awesome decorators out there in blogland who blog about decorating, I love reading their blogs but my niche is definitely not décor! Still a work in progress after 2 1/2 years..

I do like to sew my aprons and trying to branch out into other items.  I have not sewn for many, many years until the spring of 2010 I got involved in a couple of awesome apron swaps with other bloggers led by Val at Yarni Gras and also Shawnee at Flirty Apron Swap.  I can’t tell you how much fun I have had participating in these swaps and they got me sewing again after probably 20 years.  In addition to giving and receiving such fun and aprons and goodies, my sewing skills are much better than they were and it makes me want to move on to other items such as handbags and home décor items!  So  the apron thing is a fun thing for me to blog about, but does that get ‘old’ for you all to read all the time?  I dunno.

P. S. these aprons are all for sale, they really are needing new homes!

I am also blessed to blog about our Grace Lily and my adult kids..I probably don’t blog about the kids and their busy lives very often, again is any one interested in reading about my family?  I also have a sister I am very close to even though she lives in Illinois and I am in southern California and a brother and parents who live close by..

Oldest son Dan and his girl, Netti

Scott and his wife Melainie

Their daughter Grace Lily and one on the way

Me, my sis Cindy and our little brother Raymond, very OLD pictures!

And our parents, married in December, 1950 and celebrating 61 years of marriage on Christmas eve!  How awesome is THAT!

And of course there are our three dogs, Gracie, India and Halo..and no, baby Grace was not named after the dog, lol…now if the new baby is named India or Halo, I will know it’s a conspiracy.  These dogs are elderly but they still get into trouble here at the house, the other day we came home to one of them grabbing an entire loaf of nice wheat bread off the counter, we came home to shreds of plastic in the family room and thank goodness they did not eat the clips holding the bag closed, oh and I think there was a bagel left, too.  And we have one that likes to tip over the bathroom trash can when we are gone..so they are pretty interesting and could qualify for doggy day care!

Then there is travel and scenery.  We don’t travel much right now unless it’s heading north to visit with Scott, Lainie and Gracie..but that is travel and I’m sure there are interesting things along our route we could stop and check out.  So I am making a vow to keep my camera with me for capturing interesting things along our route!

Any way, I am at a loss most days for a catchy blog title, any help appreciated!
