#bloglikecrazy For 30 days....

#bloglikecrazy
For 30 days....

Thirty days done!  This is my last post in the #bloglikecrazy challenge. 

I started this blog because I wanted to have a digital record of sewing patterns that I attempted.  You know, what worked and what did not...It is still good for that.

I've always been a blog reader.  I find it a great way to connect with people all over the world that were school librarians (like me before I retired), that knit, or sew.  Blogs make the world smaller.  Here's the tough thing about being a school librarian: You are the ONLY one in your building and possibly the entire district.  NO one understands what you are talking about.  People are polite and will listen but SO often their eyes glaze over or they are just out of their element.  Other school librarians understand that but if there NONE in your district, how to connect?  BLOGS!  Librarians are technology leaders but how to find other similarly minded teachers?  BLOGS!  You like to sew and are not sure how to put a zipper in a new pair of blue jeans you are making?  BLOGS!  There is someone else out there trying the same thing.  Blogs are moderated so you don't have to worry about a thread blowing up like on Facebook. 

Has technology changed since I started using blogs?  Heck yes!  But blogs still have a place in social media and they still have a niche. 

I was explaining the #bloglikecrazy challenge to my friend on the sewing retreat and she said, "Is anyone actually reading your blog?"  I don't know.  It might still be a digital sewing record for me and that's it BUT if I reach ONE person who finds my adventure helpful, well then, my friends, it was worth the journey!

Blog on.....

And just to end with a visual, my grandson's pj's cut out and ready to go.....cause that little boy LOVES trucks!
