Some scripture covers and random thoughts

I've become disenchanted with my blog and here's why: In the
recent past I tried (I'm ashamed to say) to post what I thought
other people would like. I'm embarassed to confess such things
but it's true. You know what else? It's exhausting!! Trying to
figure out what floats someone else's boat is tough and virtually
not worth it! Besides that, I felt I was losing some of my creativity
working in such a manner. I'm Amanda Pendley hear me roar.."rawr!"
Whoosh! It feels good to get that off my chest.

On an entirely different note, I made some scripture/book covers. I
think I'll do a tutorial someday. Until then, here are some photos.

  1. These are really cute scripture covers! I would love it if you did a tutorial! And, I'm totally with you on the blog disenchantment. I got way too stressed over trying to blog for other people and decided not to stress about how many followers I have or how much people like my stuff. I'm blogging for me, not other people. It's not worth the stress.

  3. Ooooh, love them! I'd love a tutorial if you ever feel like writing one up. I know what you mean about the blogging . . . every now and then, I read a post and think, "Hmmm, I wonder if this project was purely a blog project," or I'll think, "I should make ________, people would love that!" and then remember that unless I love it and want to make it anyway, why bother? Just make what you want to make when you feel like making it and let us peek in on it every now and then ;-)

  4. Those are beautiful Bible covers. So lovely! Even if you did a tutorial, though, I personally would not be able to make one myself. :0) I don't know how to sew! Wah!

    Keep blogging about what you want! Otherwise it's stressful and just feels like a race... ya know?

  5. Hmmm . . . it just occurred to me that maybe it sounded like I thought YOU were making projects just for the sake of putting them on the blog, which is definitely not the case. But there are a few blogs on my reading list that give me that impression every now and ten :-)
