2013 failed. 2014 still time!

I failed at my 2013 challenge. It wasn't a good idea, and I learned from it.

1. Final semester of grad school is busy.
2. Moving and crafting don't mix well
3. To blog you've got to have a functioning computer
4. You can't post your craft if its a birthday present and suppose to be a surprise!

I haven't stopped crafting, I just stopped blogging. But I believe I will try to blog again because the internet is the one place I haven't lost my computer data, as of yet. For example, last night I had the urge to visit the blog which inspired me to draft my own patterns in 2008. But I couldn't find it, nor could I remember anything googleable regarding the blog. German, english, knit, sew and photography bring up 200,000,000+ search results all of which were not the blog I wanted.

I spent 3-4hours googling, the most successful being when I had my boyfriend google in german. I found these blogs I want to explore more,
http://madformod.wordpress.com/
http://allures-und-couture.blogspot.com/
http://sonea-sonnenschein.blogspot.com/
http://schurrmurr.wordpress.com/

It wasn't until I visited the now gone Xanga.com for my old blog did I find a reference to sew-mad.blogspot.com. Thanks to Xanga letting me have the wordpress version of my posts.
sew-mad.blogspot.com is now frauvau.blogspot.com .
And news flash! She had a toddler!! Guess it has been a few years.

So thanks to my blogs, I can find reference to those things I have forgotten or lost due to electronic failure. YAY!
