Hello @progressivechef, thank you for this contest. Here is my entry:
How you came to know about Steemit?
I joined in March this year when my husband introduced me to Steemit. Out of curiosity one day, I decided to explore and here I am, hooked on Steemit.
What do you blog about?
At the moment, mostly on needlework and sharing photos.
What are your plans on the platform?
I am still exploring and reading what others are blogging about in my areas of interests which includes cooking, nature and education. I plan to:
- blog more in the world of crafts, nature, photography, cooking and education
- dedicate more time to read what others blog about and upvote, comment those I enjoy reading because they deserve it
- participate more in contests and challenges because they are fun :)
- giveback like what you are doing once I have more SBDs to give away :)
How has your experience been till now?
The experience has been very interestingly pleasant. Although my blogs do not generate much yet but in the needlework community, I made new friends. I found a platform to share what I like with like-minded people who would support, comment, give ideas as well.
I wrote about this too in one of the challenges at #NeedleworkMonday: https://steemit.com/needleworkmonday/@marblely/what-do-we-love-about-needleworkmonday
and below is an excerpt from my blog:
#NeedleWorkMonday has brought us all together, giving us a sense of camaraderie, fellowship like the Lord of the Rings, allowing us to share and talk about something that we are passionate about. The support that everyone gives to each other is amazing, giving out tips to help each other out. The energy in this community is so strong, so positive. It's like having penpals all over again, except now we are craftpals 😍.
To share. To write. To laugh. To smile. To sew. To knit. To crochet. To quilt. To felt. To bead. To learn. To teach. To encourage and be encouraged. To motivate and be motivated. To inspire and be inspired."
And I have a feeling that the same sentiment applies to most of the other hashtag communities. I hope to find more in the near future 😊
