Hello, readers. OK, I know I don’t actually have any readers yet, but I’m sure I will someday and when you go back into the archives to find this first post, I want you to feel welcome!
This is the first post of my new blog, Memorable Makes. As you might guess from the blog’s name, I love to make all sorts of things. You name it and I make it–handmade clothing, quilts, crocheted afghans, elaborate cards and thoughtful scrapbooks.
When I told my husband I wanted to write a blog about the various things I make, I mentioned that I wasn’t sure how to marry all my different handmaking endeavors together on one site. Most crafting blogs focus on one particular craft, but I knew my blog would flit back and forth between all of my favorites. My husband, bless him, immediately saw the solution. “Your crafts always have a story. You make things for particular people, for particular reasons. Tell the stories behind what you make.”
So that’s my vision for this blog. I’ll show you what I’m making, give you some tips and tutorials, and some details about why I’m making a particular item and what’s going on in my life while I’m making it. In other words, I’ll tell you why my makes are memorable. Along the way, I hope you’ll find some things you’d also like to make while you create your own happy memories. I look forward to getting to know you!
