Under a Blue Moon

Decor, cooking, organization, all the pretty things

Hi.

Hydrangeas3

 

Oh hi there.  It’s been a while, hasn’t it? 

The past few years have been rather eventful.  Some good things and some very, very bad things.  When we last left off we had just moved into our new house and were getting settled.  I thought this would be perfect blog fodder but I found myself underwhelmed with the content I was coming up with.  The blog felt scattered and disjointed (are those the same thing?) and it started to feel like a chore.

You know it’s time to step back and reassess when something that used to give you pleasure ceases to. 

I also was feeling like my little home-spun blog just couldn’t compare to the more professional looking blogs that were out there.  I wanted to “rebrand” and come up with some super polished new blog that would allow me to retire from my paying job and the likes of Martha and Oprah would be clamoring to get me on their shows. 

But then over the past six months I really started missing the creative outlet the blog gave me.  I miss sharing stuff.  I realize that while I may never have the readership that other blogs have, I can have a lively discussion with the handful of folks that do come around. 

So my plan for now is two posts a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Fridays will continue to be me sharing links and products that pique my interest and Tuesdays will be the decorating, cooking, crafting type stuff I like to do.  We’ll see how it goes and if Martha or Oprah come around then maybe I’ll throw in another post during the week. 

I hope you'll have me back.

    Oh, I am so happy to see you back! I have been popping in now and then when I wanted to see your beautiful blog again, and slap me silly, but I saw new material! Looking forward to catching up.

    So glad to have you back! Oh, you don’t want to be one of those big blogs. I’m drawn to blogs where I feel like I’m chatting with a friend. Yours is like that. So happy to see you!

    Thank you Claudia – It feels good to be back. That is what I really missed about blogging – the conversations with kindred spirits.

Instagram post 2340488496363792013_13069943 I ran out of day (and daylight) to take a real photo so you get a pithy saying instead.  Happy weekend! You are all dear to me. Just thought you should know that.
