mmmm. what to write. what to write. I’m a little perplexed as to what this blog should be about. Though I’m not quite sure, I do know that with time and regular postings, blogs tend to take shape. Right? I hope.

I use to have an ongoing blog. It was a few years old when I decided to end my children’s clothing business. Because the blog was started to market my clothing line, I deleted it when I stopped creating children’s clothing. At the time it was quite a weight off my shoulders to hit that big delete button and have no other choice but to move on. That’s just how I am. I like things clean cut. Without loose ends pulling me back. But now, I somewhat regret my quick decision and wish that I had at least preserved the posts for myself.

Blogs can become so personal! You don’t realize how many memories come streaming back just by reading some snippets of what you wrote a couple years ago or viewing a photo that you haven’t seen since the week it was taken.

Like these. Wow are the memories flooding back. I can remember where and when I designed these and where we went to take the photos. Very very few of my children’s clothing photos have ever been printed. So because of a terrible memory, most of these outfits had been completely forgotten. Most my clothing was 1-offs or maybe two or three of a kind at most. So there were literally 100′s of designs over the years. That’s a lot to remember!

(So to anyone thinking of ending a blog, don’t hit the delete button too hastily! Make a book through blurb.com to preserve your journal.)

These children’s clothing photos are some of my past designs…sorry, none will be available. Just sharing a glimpse of what I use to do.

At the time I hit delete on the blog, I didn’t realize that I would ever have a sewing business again. I thought that I’d continue my illustration work, maybe start a photography business, or even do nothing for a while. Little did I know that God had a big cross-country move planned for us and that once we’d settle, I’d have a passion for creating with textiles again. My old blog may have nicely converged with this one, but alas, I start over and hope that eventually my little postings here and there will give you a glimpse behind the scenes.

Until next time!
