Time to Get Off My Hands

I started creating a blog for the shop about a year ago using Wordpress and incorporating it into the website.  I encountered technical dificulties and never got it going or even uploaded to the website.  The whole problem turned into a cascade of false starts that just got me nowhere.  I finally decided to give up on the original blog and turned to Blogspot to get this thing off the ground. 

The purpose of this blog is multilayered.  Of course I intend to use it as a marketing tool but I also want to use it as a sharing tool.  I find that electronic media is the fastest and most economical means of getting information to people.  It is fluid as well and can even take on a life of its own.  Because of these characteristics it is also an excellent means of sharing.  I am expanding my skills and love to share what I learn.  I am also writing patterns and want to share them as well as my progress on projects.  So a blogging I will go.  I look forward to finally having a means to get my thoughts down and see where they will lead me and I hope you enjoy sharing the journey with me.
