macati said ... hi!
I don't tell most of the people that I have a blog and I don't know why... and when somebody says: "oh, you should see her blog!" I turn red... and say: "it wasn't supposed to tell!" I guess I'm still too shy and not very confident in myself... as if I was still a girl!


Biff said ... Lovely bag.

New blogger so far too shy to tell real life people about it!

& I have accidental thing for dotty spotty patterns!


Funky Finds said ... i used to keep my blog & crafty hobbies to myself. but now i tell everyone! i think they're all quite sick of hearing about funky finds. oh well! :)


stacy said ... It's beautiful!!!


Nikki said ... My boyfriend only saw my craft blog today! I've only had it a short while, but it's MY thing. I haven't told my family either, except for one sister and I don't think she's visiting often. Otherwise, no one knows. I'm a secretive girl, too.


tablefor4 said ... That is such BEAUTIFUL bag. I sometimes add craft stuff into my blog, but, that's only every now and then. I don't tell anyone about my love for fabric, making landscape quilts and handbags. I guess I think that nobody would want to hear about it.


le voila said ... It´s beautiful!!


LindsayLuu said ... I'm a secretive craft blogger too. The folks at work don't like that I have a life outside of this desk :(


sarah said ... I think my favorite part is that the pen matches the lining. It's something I would do.

I tell everyone about my blog, because I need constant reassurance and I'm poor and hope that the world decides to buy things from me, thereby eliminating the poor.


ambika said ... My gosh, even my best friends didn't know I had a blog for the longest time. Now I'm much more comfortable about telling random folks but I'd *never* tell people at my day job.


crafty carolinagirl said ... No one knew I had a blog up until about a month ago. I still haven't told the people at work. I know they'll think it is weird. They aren't crafty people.

Very cute purse!


AmberCake said ... I'm with you on the stripes and also on the no-one-at-the-day-job-knows. Not that it's much of a blog, considering how extremely seldom I post.

I think there's something about keeping a controlled front on what people at work get to know about you. And there's something that feels granny-ish or kooky or something - like, my coworkers might ooo and ahhh over my latest knit hat as I work on it at the lunch table. They might even be impressed that it's not the first hat I've knit in one year. But I don't know that I need them to be IMPRESSED with the free time I devote to making stuff and the free time I spend WRITING and BLOGGING about, um, the stuff I make? Like, it would be pretty impressive if they knew I cared about it all THAT MUCH. Which, I do and I don't, and it's just sort of fun, and sort of cool to tap into stuff on the craft blog network, and a blog-about-craft-stuff, to those who don't read others, well, could be seen WAY out of proportion.


SisterDG said ... This bag is adorable, and I hope I'll be able to crochet like you when I grow up.

I've told almost nobody in Portland about my craft blog. I have a bit of notoriety in PDX for Church of Craft, but I don't think more than a few people in that group know about the blog/podcast.

I don't tell about the blog for people in town. I don't talk much about personal things but I still post photos and small ideas of my life...so, I never tell...Only my parents, husband and few friends know about it.


Angelina said ... Can you imagine me keeping quiet about anything?

I love stripes too. They make me happy. But I love stripes mixed with polka dots even more. It seems like such a riot of design when they're together. And I don't mean "riot" as in funny.

I particularly enjoy the broken stripe on this bag.


robyn said ... love it love it love it. i'm featuring the bag tomorrow at noon (cst) at craftandfound.com!


Kuky said ... No that's not weird. Only my close friends and family know. I don't really advertise the fact that I have a blog to anyone else.


Frizz said ... I don't tell anyone at work much of anything.

If they did read my blog it would kinda feel like they saw me naked or something.


Jodi said ... Wow, it's seems a lot of us feel the same way about sharing our blogs with co-workers. I fall into the same category! My blog is a much more personal part of who I am and I like to keep it separate from my work. Funny that I'm excited about sharing it with total strangers!


dizzyjadey said ... Hi! Just delurking. Only a select few know about my blog, the ones who would understand, anyway. Everyone else would probably look at me different when they find out I'm a blogger, specially when I see how we're portrayed in the media.


rosa said ... FANTASTIC BAG,I LOVE THAT COLORS,NICE TO MEET YOU,BEAUTIFULL BLOG KISS

 
Alice said ... It's weird, I am happy to tell internet people that i have a blog, and actually most of my family, my boyfriend and some of my friends also know. But i refuse to tell anyone i know in real life the URL! I'm just so embarrassed, because i don't think of them reading it when i write it - i think of crafty internet people reading it! Silly me.

The bag is beautiful - i love crisp, clean blues - very calming, but in a neat and tidy sort of way.
