I’m still alive.
Phew, it has been longer than I had expected to get back here. You know how it goes, right
. Time just goes by so fast. We’re already halfway September
!
My holiday, albeit it already was 2 months ago, was fantastic. Croatia really is a beautiful country!
My creative juices have been running dry or in another direction for a while now. During the summer I started a new hobby: Amigurumi
Amigurumi is Japanese and literally means knitted stuffed toy and is the art of knitting or crocheting plushies. Most amigurumi are crocheted, which is what I do.
Mind you, I first had to learn how to crochet, and as my godmother wasn’t patient enough to teach me and apparently found everything I did with a crochet hook hilarious, I abandoned the plan of her teaching me. So I resorted myself to YouTube and learned step-by-step how to crochet and how to crochet amigurumi.
When a friend of mine – who actually introduced me to amigurmi – asked me where I found my tutorials and crochet patterns, I decided to start a separate blog about my crochet adventures.
At first, I wrote the blog in my native language (Dutch), but I have now decided to also write in English, to make it more accessible.
I wanted to add the blog as a subdomain to gawariel.com, but as my host is currently on training and I do not want to bother her with trivial things, I decided to add the blog to another free personal site I was keeping with awardspace, this mainly to minimize the amount of websites to keep track of.
But seeing as the amigurumi portion of the site functions as a completely different website, I now want to seperate the blog from tehkey and even decided on a name CHARAMI.
CHAR after my first name Charlotte and AMI for amigurumi. But unfortunately awardspace doesn’t allow “awardspace.com” sub domains any more for free users. I can only choose between .biz, .us, .info or .co.uk.
The site is NOT a business, I do NOT live in the USA, it might be an informational site, but I don’t like the look of .info; and I’m not a UK citizen. So yeah, unless I pay awardspace, I cannot use the .com extension anymore.
I’m a little at a loss of what to do
.
The blog is just a small personal thingy, and I’m not sure if there is a lot of interest or how long I will keep my interest, so I do not want to spend a lot of money paying for a domain I might not renew in a couple of months. *sigh* Whatever.
For the mean time, the blog will remain where it is: http://tehkey.awardspace.com/amigurumi/.
Unless you have a suggestion??
Anyway, I’m sure none of you are actually interested in my rambling
. I’ll try to be back with some content soon!
Love,
Lotte
