My personal rule for my hand-spinning and knitting was that I didn't want it to look home-spun, even though it was. "Did you make that?" has never been a compliment in my book because of the implication that you could tell. What I wanted was "Where did you get that?", or something similar - all of the uniqueness of something handmade, without any of the rustic connotations. Which seems to be my standard for my writing too. I want my writing to be professional-grade, even when I'm only writing for myself. Interesting.

I enjoy making things with my hands, but rarely think about blogging as such a creative endeavor. The finish project doesn't seem tangible. I can't put it on my shelf or wear it, but it much more personal. It is a gift from my soul for anyone to read. Thanks for sharing this unique perspective.

Interesting that homespun does seem to have the connotation of being less than while handmade has the connotation of special. I like the idea of blogs being handmade, Deb.
