Asked occasionally for instructions for some of my craft projects - and not having a central location to put them - I decided that a blog (translation: free) might be the best solution for this problem. Then I cast about for some way to introduce myself and the blog. I searched other blogs for inspiration. I read articles on how to start blogs, how to attract readers, and so forth. I thought about what I could offer: craft techniques I'm studying, tutorials on making specific projects, etc.
Then the doubts started. There are others (legions, in fact) of other people making better stuff than me. And their instructions are better. And they are better writers. They are certainly better photographers. The list goes on and on.
Then I had a revelation.
As long as one person learns a new technique or gets a spark of an idea from what they read here, does it matter how many others pass it by?
Then I had another revelation.
The empty white page is scary...and evil. It was every essay exam come back to haunt me. It was Dracula appearing from the shadows. The Hound of the Baskerville's pursuing me across the moor.
Hence my rambling first post. I'll try to improve as time goes on.
