My blog. My Home. My Hood.

Recently, I’ve been giving lots of thought to DamaskLove and how I can make it better. I came to a conclusion: Miami is my home…but so is this blog.

…not totally sure if it’s acceptable to think of your blog as a home but for me, this metaphor couldn’t be more true.

I try to keep things neat and tidy here, so that guests will feel welcome when they come over for a visit. Every once in a while, I do a little reorganizing to make things easier to find and nothing makes me happier than when someone “comments” about how much she enjoys coming over to my “house.”

Just like any home, DamaskLove is part of a bigger ‘hood – where all of my other blog friends live.  Sadly, for the last few years, I haven’t been the best neighbor. You know – the one that pulls into the garage and closes it before she even get out of the car. The neighbor  you suspect might be burying bodies in the backyard or something…that’s me.

Part of my seclusion is purely due to an insane, busy life that includes an inbox that I can’t keep clean, a pretty demanding 9-5, the world’s worse case of seasonal allergies and of course all the other mundane tasks of life (since when did we decide that dinner needs to happen EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT?)

Part is because I worry about being overly influenced by other people’s creations and inadvertently “copying” them.

The other reason that I’m such a bad blog neighbor is because, well…(confession alert)…sometimes when you go over other peoples’ houses, you’re reminded how completely un-awesome your own place is and all the really cool things you could be doing to make your house better.

So here I am, spilling my guts to you – but for a good reason! I’ve decided it’s time to get this house in order and do some serious renovation. In real life, I’ve never been one for major home improvement, but when it comes to DamaskLove – I’m stripping this thing down to the beams and with the help of my general contractors (i.e. graphic & web designers) DamaskLove is getting a new look with lots of curb appeal!

Now – don’t be scared! I’m not gonna go all rogue on you and start blogging about raising chickens (and yes…such blogs to exist…just Google it) but I am gonna be a better blogger and a better neighbor. After all – that’s what this whole thing is about… inspiring others and being inspired by others, right?! And the truth is, the more I browse other fabulous blogs, the more likely I am to come up with creative and original ideas.

I’m keeping the foundation of DamaskLove the same – because I truly believe the foundation is solid. Sharing my exciting for crafting is really my passion!

Starting in the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing bits and pieces of the new look and vision of the renovated DamaskLove. For now though, I’m hoping you’ll help out with the reno work.

I’ve made a little survey that will give me a better idea of what you’d like to see more of and less of…the things that you particularly enjoy about blogs and the things that you sorta hate.  It shouldn’t take long to complete and I’d LOVE to get your feedback!

Thanks for hanging in there with me through this journey and I hope you’ll stick around a while longer to see how things unfold!

Keep on crafting with these other posts

    Hmm it seems like your blog ate my firs comment (it was
    extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what
    I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your
    blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers?

    I’d definitely appreciate it.
