Yep, it's true...I HATE my blog name...really, really, really hate it...
I don't know why I picked it...yes, I do...'cause I can be soooo incredibly impulsive. Sometimes (most times) I don't think things through well enough and I end up having to re-do stuff more often than I care to mention...
Case in point: Midwestern Sewing Girl.
What?!?!?! Does it even make sense?
Yes, I live in the Midwest
Yes, I like to sew (I mean I'm not sew-ing at the moment, but I do like to sew)
Yes, I'm a girl (well, I'm 38, so girl may not have been the best word...)
But altogether it sounds...hmm...how should I put this? Oh, I don't know... completely suckish.
I picked the name to sort-of go along with my etsy shop: my sweet kate without being exactly the same... ("But wait," you say..."my sweet kate & midwestern sewing girl aren't even close to the same thing!") - I thought I could talk about all things crafty, sew-ey, etc. without having to focus mainly on shop happenings (which I would have felt compelled to do had I named the blog "my sweet kate").
So, now I'm stuck with it...I guess I could change it...I could go through the trouble of starting a new blog (with a new name...I have about 12 million floating around in my head as I write this). But I feel like I'm maybe just starting to maybe carve out a little space in blogland just for me and my ideas...
I could call the blog something new and just keep my domain name the same, but geez, that's confusing...
or, I could just be a big girl (there's that word again...) and deal with it. And make the most of it. And realize it's mine...I picked it, and it's mine. And like any other "mistake" I make, I can learn from it and move on. So, that's what I'm gonna do...you're stuck with me, the Midwestern Sewing Girl...name and all...
