if you figure out how to blog without obligation, please let me know! i could use a lesson in that. i have some fabric to pull together for my sew connected month next month…which will come up before i know it!

Anytime you force yourself to be creative…I think you loose a little creativity. I blog at http://www.makingthrifty.com and I work a website http://www.makinglearningfun.com and have found myself a little in the hum-drumb lately too. I do so much better with LARGE blocks of time and with summer coming to an end there just aren’t those large blocks of time. If you are like my sometimes your priorities get jumbled and then the pressure starts. If I step back and remember my priority (for me it is to be the mom and wife)then the other things fall back into place. Sew when you want…blog when you want….we readers never want to pressure you!

i know just what you mean….the pressure to create, to answer questions, to respond…i try to blog without obligation…much easier to say than to do.

I worry about the same thing sometimes, and I think I only have about 5 people that regularly read my blog. That is crazy. I do love your blog and enjoy it whenever you post and whatever you post about. So don’t stress, it’s all good!

yup! what works for me is to schedule posts sometimes.. things like tutorials or long ones.. i work on them when i have the time and then schedule them for when i know i have a lot going on at work or in my life and then i don’t have to worry about making a blog post for a little while..

I’ve just taken a blog break too – I agree, it was driving me batty worrying about not having anything to say…and I’d rather be crafting that worrying:) Good luck getting things to fall into a routine.:)

Definitely bonkers, but can totally agree and identify with you. The pressure is huge and I feel it too! And I then do try to remember that this is MY blog, and to enjoy it.

I was in that stage for a very short while before I told myself: this is your space and its for FUN (not work). So now, I post whenever I want to (basically twice a week) and it may not be craft related. It may be just a post about my little people who brings me great pleasure over the weekend.

Anyway, at the moment I have slowed down on my quilting since I have already picked up my ‘pen’ to write academic journals for my progression in my career.

I have been doing that too. It’s all I can do to post a blog once a week. I guess maybe when school starts back up things will be different

I’m with you on this issue too. I’m new to blogging so blogging is getting me to sew more so I can blog about which is a good thing generallly but I hate that pressure we put ourselves through. So your definitely not alone.
