I am finally joining the realm of blogging! I say finally, because it has taken me quite a while to come up with a name for my blog. I thought it would be such a simple thing to do, rather it proved to be the opposite.
Am I the only one who obsessed about a blog name? This is mainly a craft blog, but I did not want to use anything stereotypical of that genre. I wanted to have a name that sounded cool, meant something, and reflected part of my personality. I spent several weeks brainstorming and making lists and lists of words. I ran a few names by some faithful friends who were good enough to tell me that they stunk. (They said it nicer than that, though!)
This went on way too long! I finally gave myself an ultimatum . . . NO CRAFTING UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT A NAME! Don’t you know that was some motivation! I had a kitchen towel project that I wanted to do, and all the fabrics were picked out and waiting. I sat down and made friends with the dictionary and the thesaurus. Do you know how many words are in there?!!! I just about read the entire thesaurus, when I came across my name.
simple Analogy . . .
Analogy means to find the similarity between different things. Isn’t that what we do when we are creating a new project?! Take different items, whether fabric, beads, yarn, etc. and put them together in a way that all the individual pieces work well together.
Simple means understandable and easy to do. Those are the projects I like to do!
simple Analogy. . . I love it!
