As I sit here, battling day who knows what of a migraine, I find myself thinking about this blog. For a year and a half, I have written here, and changed greatly through that writing. I've realized much about myself, about others, about what I want in life. Also, it shows me how I live the life I have.
And living in a dorm setting, I've come to see how much I really want to have a real house soon. How I love kitchens (and cooking), crafting, and all of the things that go with homes. (Including cleaning... who'd have thought I'd ever miss washing dishes?) I try to find ways of living the 'down-to-earth' lifestyle while still being here rather than just dreaming. It helps that I'm not really on the meal-plan and so am cooking for myself.
However, I still find that my most recurrent dream is that of living in my own home. I suppose my mind has a built up ideal, Willowcliffe Cottage, if you will. And so often, I see this blog as being tied to my desire to grow in the "down-to-earth" lifestyle. It is where I write about cooking, crafting, and those things which mean "home" to me. I no longer teach music lessons and run my own business, thus making "Willowcliffe Studios" passé. So what am I to do with the blog name?
I'm thinking of doing something in terms of the homing aspect of the blog, yet I'm not sure if I want to abandon the "Willowcliffe" part since it is so intrinsically linked to my dramatis personae. I'm tossing around ideas with "cottage of dreams" or similar titles. A new blog layout would likely go along with a new title.
Most likely, it will be "Dreams of A Place Called Home", or some similar derivation. I'll post before I change anything.
just whatever you do, please don't change it all up so it gives me an error message when I try to find you!!! <3
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, dear Nadea, I shall give you full warning. And you could always come to my room to ask if you lost it. ^_^

Studios works well for a domestic setting, methinks. i'm not sure how, but I like it.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, you do like to change things around on the blog. I, too, don't want to lose you!
Yes, I do know that you could live in a studio- but for me, studio conjures the image of a place for artistic expression. As in, a part of a home where I would either write, paint, sculpt, make music, dance, etc.
ReplyDeleteI do want to update the blog to reflect my current chapter in life. And you won't lose me, I'll advertise the change long before it happens, if it even does happen. ^_^
