I'm having some difficulty deciding on a new name for my blog. I called my old blog "Baby Tease" from my Baby T-Shirt making days. I haven't made a T-shirt in so long and indulge in so many other crafts. I also blog about other things and wanted to name my blog something closer to me than a craft that isn't about me anymore. A color wouldn't describe me. My ethnicity only really comes through in my cooking or when I speak in that language.
I love crafting, but my life has been cluttered with crap for the last six to eight months and I haven't been able to finish a project. It's very depressing. My niece was pregnant. I was crocheting her son a blanket and pillow and had to stop because of my migraines. That was very defeating. I'm home right now because of a migraine. I am the luckiest woman in the world because I have a 15 year old son that knows what I am going through and helps when I feel like this. He's in school right now, so I'll be able to rest and relax today, and he will fix something for dinner tonight. In the meantime I'll feel guilty for not getting anything done in the apartment after being home all day long. Migraines suck. It also sucks to want to craft and not be able to.
Back to my dilema. There are so many things that I love, but would I name my blog after them? I don't think so. I love the beach and shells, and going to Florida for vacation, but I live in NYC. I wish I had a cottage or a bungalow with a room to sew and craft in, but I live in a small apartment, with not a whole lot of space for mess. Books. I love to read. Regency, Victorian times, mostly stories with heroines. Murder mysteries. But I wouldn't name my blog about that. Cooking? I love to cook, and I want to learn how to bake this year. That is my goal for 2008. Slowly I want to acquire a few more implements and I'll have two or three signature dishes, would you call them? I want a fudge recipe, and a cookie or two, and a cake. My own recipes. I watch FoodNetwork and rework the recipes all of the time.
I can't come up with anything now. I don't want anything silly. I'm not a silly person. It's hard for me to describe myself. And then my name is so common, especially on these blogs! Kim. But from my name you can't tell my mother is Puerto Rican, or at least her parents were. In my blog I combine all of my interests, including film and my friends and family - and my love of the holidays.
Oh, and it never snowed. It rained all night long, thank goodness.
Kim, I like the new name and the new look. The colors are great - it looks very light and airy. It's tough to think of a name that sums up everything you were mentioning - that says something about you in just a few words. I really like the new look of your blog Kim - great job! I'm sorry you've been having migraines. I get them too, although I haven't had one in a while. They are terrible. My best to you Kim.
