Defining the Hard to Define

Modern Country Style is holding a Define Your Blog Linkup Party.

So how do I define my blog?  I don't.  When people ask what I write about, I usually answer, "Random Stuff."

I post a lot of recipes, all of which are gluten-free.  Several of my all time favorite go-to recipes never needed a gf modification, because they've always been gluten-free like my crowd pleasing Drunken Bacon Wrapped Cheddar Brats(ok, I switched to gf beer, but that's not a tough mod)

or a family favorite, Summer Rolls.

While with other recipes, I've worked hard to create the perfect gf flour blends to create things like my Apple Upside Down Cake

or the Puff Pastry Dough that I use for my Fruit Spread Pastries.

  But I post too many non-food items to ever be considered a food blogger.  And I don't know how I feel about being called a gluten-free blogger, because I think that my recipes can be enjoyed by everyone gluten-free & gluten eaters alike, plus gluten eaters can always substitute for an equal amt of all purpose flour. 

I love to do DIY projects around the house.  We're avid DIYers who did a complete down to the studs DIY remodel of our kitchen which I'll post pictures of someday, but I'm always working on 16 things at once, so each individual project takes a very long time.  One of my most popular posts has been my DIY Lego Table,

and our DIY Liquor Hutch with the private Cat Box got rave reviews. 

Still, with those types of projects taking ages to finish, I don't post anywhere near enough of them to be considered a DIY blogger.

I like to do crafts like these Knitted Butterfly Embellishments, and

sewing & fabric projects like these fun Rose covered Pillows.

And I LOVE to do crafts to help decorate for holidays like my Valentine's Paper Love Birds, or

Moss Covered Easter Basket.

But I don't churn out craft projects every day like the craft bloggers do.  I suppose you could call me a mommy blogger, except I very rarely discuss anything remotely resembling child rearing.  My boys make the occasional appearance on my blog, but they're certainly not central to it.

So after all that explaining and defining, I guess I'm back to "Random Stuff."

Thanks for popping in and listening to more randomness.  If you'd like to see how other bloggers are defining their spaces in blogland go visit Modern Country Style's party.
