So, I've been thinking a lot about the blog content that I want to create for the upcoming months and for 2017. I've been putting together individual posts for the general post that I did for the 5 Must-Have Crochet or Knit Baby Shower Gifts. And I was thinking about my tagline "be thoughtful" and how it is intended to evoke in the gift giver thoughtfulness towards the gift recipient but also thoughtfulness towards oneself because, as we all have experienced, you often have as much pleasure in giving as you do in receiving. But, as I move towards putting together collections of crocheted and knit items to make, I was thinking about another tagline to sum up why it's different and unique. One of the new taglines I was thinking about was "Curation + Convenience" or "Convenient + Curated".
But, this morning while watching CBS Sunday Morning, Faith Salie had a whole segment on curation and her irritation with the word!! She thoroughly explains the origins of the word and how it's evolved as well as why she believes it's become overused and meaningless.
Suffice to say, the segment has given me pause about whether I want to use that word to describe what it is I'm trying to do. I'm in search of a new, descriptive, catchy way to encompass my desire to inform you about, in my opinion, the best choices and resources that you have available when planning and creating your crochet and knit baby gift giving! Back to the drawing board...
