I don't need to tell you how little I knew about the Internet, much less blogging when I first began. And pictures. Oh, I cringe when I see those early posts. Pinterest wasn't a thing then, so it wasn't as crucial as it is now, but those posts! It has definitely been a journey! Looking forward to seeing where we both go along the way.

I am on my third blog now and this time, as you said, I am taking it slowly and making it all about me! Meaning, I blog about what is important to me, what I know and what I wish to know more about. Gradually, things will pick up, the photographs will get better. Thanks so much for a great post!

I completely agree with all the things you wished you knew before starting a blog, and I found myself nodding my head as I read because these points ALL resonate. I have made some of my best friends blogging, and I love connecting with other bloggers. Like you, I'm a solo shop (and probably always will be!), but there's so much love, time and energy put into my work that it makes me smile knowing there are folks like you who are working just as hard and loving every minute of it.<br /><br />So excited that I'm getting to know you through this year-long series. Looking forward to following your blog and you!Erin @ The Speckled Palatehttp://www.thespeckledpalate.comnoreply@blogger.com
