Good Morning Everyone– I have been torn the last couple of weeks pondering my blog!
As all of you know it started out with Basketry and Chair Caning which I still do, then I added recipes that I make, as I cook nearly everything from scratch everyday. Many recipes are Mennonite and Amish recipes.
The one thing I never wanted for my original blog was to become a mish-mash of ideas and topics. While many of you have commented and written to me privately telling you like the blog the way it is, because it introduces you to a wide variety of topics, some have written wanting to see a Cooking Blog, with recipes, pictures and posts about cooking, baking and canning, and Mennonite Life.
If I did create a blog, based solely on these things I would link it to the original Blog, like the blog I have for the Baskets for sale (which as you know has not happened yet) life seems to get in the way sometimes.
So I am asking my followers, readers out there to either write to the following ways and let me know what you think.

Comment on the Blog for this post
If you know others that like to read cooking blogs you can pass this along to them and they are free to comment also. I want to thank everyone for their help in this decision!
Since for me cooking from scratch is a daily thing, a cooking blog alone is not impossible, but I would just like to see everyone’s feeling about this.
I used to make egg baskets myself, and need to make more. I don’t have one anymore. I had to sell my baskets in a downsized move, and do I regret it! I had some beautiful Micmac baskets made by a friend of my mother. I have a very old Micmac or Maliseet pack basket, and when I am using it, people ask if they might buy it – name my price. I always give a price of at least $1000, because I will never find one as well-made, it is something of an heirloom (at least 80 years old) and when we lived in a city and walked to the shops, it was as good as having a car. Now, I think I would name at least $4000 for it, as the price of cars has gone up!

Mitchell,
Like Tammy said, you can have several tabs to separate ideas, or just put it all together. Either would be just fine for me. Take a look at http://chickensintheroad.com/ for an idea or two.

could you just have separate tabs at the top like the one’s you already have. I know on some blogs I’ve read they can even have a separate RSS feed for each tab/section.
I do like a variety of info, but if there are going to be lots of cooking, canning, food type posts they might be better kept separate from everything.
don’t know if this makes any sense
