Your Thoughts, Please.

I'd love to know three things from Smile And Wave readers.

1. How would you classify this blog? If you had to choose one category to fit it into, what would it be?

2. Would you like to see more craft tutorials, personal family anecdotes, vintage and visual inspiration, or a good mix of all of the above?

3. What age group/occupation/gender/family status are you? (10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50+) (job, wahm, sahm, student, etc.) (female/male) (single, married, mom, etc.)

I'm just curious as to who you are and how you see my blog and what I can do to make this place even better for both of us. Thanks for the time it takes to answer these questions!

xoxo,
Rachel

I first found your blog through Red Velvet Art so I think I would classify it as a craft blog, although it's more of a lifestyle blog.
I love just what you do know, although a little more crafting never hurt anyone. ;)

Love your blog!

The day I discovered your blog (along with RVA - I wondered who that Rachel Denbow girl was that made the cute grey w/ yellow stitching quilt that was on sale...) I sat on my computer looking at every post in your archives. Only other time I did that was for Katie Did's blog. I love all the vintage fabric and antiques you find. But I especially love a good craft project idea =) Thanks for the endless amount of entertainment.

Carla said...

I read you everyday and love your style (writing, etc style)!

I would classify your blog as a lifestyle blog that is rich in visual elements, retro style and the musings of a modern, "hippie" mom. (I mean that in the most honorable, earth-respecting, thoughtful sense.)

I like what you are doing now...updates on your family life, style shots, crafty fun, etc.

I am a older mom (39) with two young kids (5 and 9 months.) I teach language arts to teens and love to craft, read, and work hard to be a mom who raises kind, creative, engaged children.

Love your blog and really enjoy the connection you have created with your readers.

I'm married with 3 young children, all 5 and under. I consider this a mixed blog of crafts and family life.
I do love when you post about the things that you make, but my favorite posts are your vintage finds and the photos you show of your home. I use as inspiration for decorating mine :)

Olivia said...

I too love your blog so I am coming out of my "rarely comment" mode to answer your survey!

1) I would say it's a craft & (show & tell) thrift blog

2) I would like to see more craft tutorials!

3) I'm 31 so that puts me in the 30-40 age range (yikes!! what the hell?! Am I really old enough to be on that show about depressing old people "thirtysomething"?!)
I work full time and have many crafty hobbies. Female, no kids, no fella. Geez... I'm getting more and more pathetic with every word I type!! :D

Looking forward to see what you've got up your sleeve!!

michelle johnston said...

1. it falls under my "favorite blog to read" category...but i've already told you that. i know that doesn't help much though. it's a perfect mix of vintage, inspiration, crafting and family...i personally don't think it falls into just one category, and that's one of the things i love about it! it's always fresh.

2. as stated above i like that it's a good mix of all of the above..so if it were up to me, i'd have you keep it that way. although it would be cool to see some more tutorials :) yours are always so great!

3. i'm a single, independent woman who works full time

Your blog inspires me: to take more care when decorating my home and to choose only the things I truly love, search out vintage and take more photos.

Am more than happy to be able to see a bit of everything on the blog.

Hi Rachel, I just love your blog I always come away feeling inspired and excited. In fact I am even trying to talk my fiance into painting a cupboard I just picked up pink :)

I guess I'd classify your blog as a home design/craft blog - although on my blog you are listed under 'inspiring' :)

I love the mix of family life and crafts - it makes it more real and personal and sweeter to read.

I haven't classified your blog in my favorite list...it stands alone, because it is a perfect mix of crafty, family, inspirational, etc.! I wouldn't change a thing & I thank you for it. I check in every day!

I am 56 yrs., retired,(early, due to nagging, but not serious, health issues) married, mother of 2 grown children, & I sew, quilt, craft, cross stitch & make cards.

2. I'd love to see more craft tutorials and vintage/visual inspiration.

3. I am 25 years old, female and study maths and English to be a teacher. I live in Germany, together with my BF.

Unknown said...

I would say yours is a craft/lifestyle blog. I love that you mix the two because too much of one thing causes a burnout. Plus I love to see how different people live.

I'm a 26 year old female, army wife, work with children, living in Italy. But who knows where we'll be next year at this time.

Emmy said...

I find it so hard to classify these things but:
1. Your blog inspires me with it's quirky crafty goodness. Is that a classification?!
2. I love what you do. I discovered the joy of following blogs when I found RVA, you, Holly and Elsie on the same day, and you guys have been part of my life since! I now follow loads of blogs but will always, ALWAYS open and read any from you guys. It makes me crazily happy :)
3. I'm single, 34, in New Zealand. I work promoting mission and getting people placements overseas. Craft & baking is my inspiration, if I ever get free time ;)
Thanks for being part of my life!

Shannon said...

Coming out of lurkdom just for you!

1. I have your blog in my "crafty inspiration" folder in reader. I think that sums it up nicely for me.

2. I love it all, from pics of sweet Ruby to your cute crafts and vintage finds. All of it!

3. I am 27, married with 2 kids, and a current SAHM with a budding Etsy shop.

Bri Bri said...

Hi! Your blog is great! I love everything about it!

1. I'd classify it as awesome. :) I'm not sure what else I'd classify it as...

2. I like the mix of everything. Hearing about your family adventurs is very inspiring to me and I love your vintage posts. I love DIYs. I could always have more of those.

3. I'm almost 26. I've been dating my boyfriend for 4 years and hope to have a family similar to yours someday. :) And I'm currently a part-timer working 2 jobs in the retail/banking world. I'd mainly classify my status as "looking for a career." I also have an Etsy shop that I'm trying to get on its feet.

I hope this helps! :)

I see your blog as eclectic--a mix of family, vintage, and craft, with, I'd say, heavy emphasis on family life. I think the mix is great, though I wouldn't mind seeing more crafty projects--you have such a great eye!

I'm 35, a part-time on-line professor of English AND a stay-at-home-mom, as well as a "maker."

Julie said...

I love your blog, Rachel!

I am 33, married for ten years, mom to one daughter (7). I work from home.

I love all three of the categories you posted about. I think you post just enough personal info about yourself/life that the reader can connect with you as a person, but you don't get too personal, which can be good! ;) I love the inspirations you post and I LOVE your tutorials.

I would classify your blog as crafty/vintage/inspirational.

I know I answered your questions out of order. :)

hollywilde said...

I would classify the blog as family life/craft/inspiration/vintage

I really enjoy the tutorials and inspirations as it gives me the confidence to havea go myself!

I am 19 and a fine art student and soon-to-be mother and engaged!

Big Yellow Dog said...

I love your blog!
I'd classify it as a creative blog, since it's more than a craft blog.
I love seeing your vintage finds and tutorials. I especially like posts about your home decor. It's super inspiring, especially since I don't have the budget to go out and buy all new stuff for our home. You've really helped me foster a love for vintage housewares and the idea of filling my home with vintage and made over items.
I'm a 23 year old married mama, working full time right now in a Montessori school and a soon to be graduate student.

robin said...

an inspirational blog for sure

love seeing your handmade goodies and style decor whether personal or in the home..nobody does it better and of course your photography always lifts me in so many ways..and I do love the way you incorporate "vintage"

I'm a medical technologist and mother of 5 ages 10 to 22 and in the older bracket almost 50..ugg and I truly love your blog!

tamara said...

Your blog is probably in my top three blogs!
I would classify as life inspiring. Whether its crafting, parenting, or being a WAHM, you kinda cover it all.

I like to see a mix off everything. I love to see all the vintage goodies that you hunt down.

I'm a SAHM most of the time. I'm a fitness instructor but that only takes up an hour or two a week. I'm 23 years old, married and have a ONE year old son. Yikes, I don't have a baby anymore:(

Everything you do on this blog is inspiring and amazing! Keep it up!

Jackie said...

1. I would classify it mostly as a craft blog.

2. I think you capture the best mix of everything. I love it all!

3. I'm in the 20-30 age group, working, and unmarried but in a serious relationship.

jessica said...

Rachel-
I read your blog EVERY SINGLE DAY! Smile and Wave is the first blog I look at every morning at work...and often throughout the day too! I feel like we are really good friends...I love all the family anecdotes, and REALLY love the vintage/thrifty stuff, photos and crafts/tutorials. I don't know what WAHM/SAHM means, but I am 30, married for 1 month and trying to get pregnant! I work full time at a children's museum, part time at a children's boutique and I have a crafty little business too! I love your inspiration! Thanks for everything Rachel!

1. I would say your blog is a mix of a craft blog and a living blog. You share a lot of your life experiences as well as latest craft ideas.

2. I would like to see a good mix of all, but especially craft tutorials. I love how your blog is now, but I also think it never hurts to get more fun craft inspiration.

3. I am a 19 year old female college student.

Elle said...

1. Classification: Crafty living :)

2. I love craft tutorials! I also love your vintage & visual inspirations, a LOT. Your family is so beautiful too, so leaving them out would be a shame. Can we have all 3?

3. I'm pushing 30 (yikes!), work full time (boo) and write full time for a couple of magazines (some day, that will be all I do!), married about a year ago, no kids yet, but 2 kitties and a 70 pound pup :)

Stacey @ Riedmiller's Room said...

I would say this blog is a crafty/inspirational blog.

I would love to see more flea market/ vintage type finds, but I do love all the DIY tutorials and things like that.

I work part-time right now and I just graduated from college two months ago. I'm looking for a full-time teaching job in Ohio, but it's not looking pretty.

I am 25 and I am married with a 13 month old daughter!

Liz said...

I would classify you as a craft blog primarily.
I love the mix of subjects you have going here, mommy crafter with a vintage bent!

I'm a SAHM, female, married, 26 years. Two boys ages almost 1 and 4. I like to craft when there's time, but I usually end up reading during most free moments.

Nicole said...

I would classify this blog as crafty, with a cute vintage vibe. I like the mix you have going. I would love to see more tutorials, just because I love what you do!

I'm 25, married, full-time job, no babies yet.

Katie said...

Your blog lives under my "inspiration" category in Google Reader (and is definitely one of my favorites).

I like a nice mix of things. Tutorials, inspiration and personal. Your family stories & pictures always make me smile. You have the most adorable kids ever.

And I'm 25, married with a job. (I like to think of being crafty as my real "profession").

Anonymous said...

I love reading your blog for what it is. A perfect family blog that makes me look forward to being a mom. Your mixture of topics is perfect. You're different from everyone else by not making it about crafting all the time.

I'm 21, about to turn 22 in a few days, legally single but have been with my boyfriend for over 3 years and i'm a student.

Katie said...

I think I'd class your blog as crafty inspiration mainly, but it wouldn't be the same without your family anecdotes, love it all!

I'm 20-30, female, married and working from home in the UK. Though not a mum, maybe in a year or two!

Kalen said...

1. I'd say crafty mom blog.

2. I'd like to see more tutorials on all things- but don't go stop with the personal family anecdotes.

3. I am a 20-30 married working girl who crafts on the weekends.

Jen said...

Love your blog, I've been following for a couple of years now. I would label your blog as art/craft/inspiration. I like seeing the mix of your vintage finds, creative endeavors, tutorials, and family life. I'm a stay home mom in my late twenties. I'm into photography, mixed media collage, sewing, and embroidery.

Jingle said...

I classify you as an 'artsy peeps' kinda blog. You live an artistic life and so your blog is about that and it's many facets!

I like the mix. Tutorials are always fun, but a lot of work on your part.

I am a wife of 10 years. I have two black labs. No kids. Don't want them. Maybe one later, but no promises. I love creating and I love being inspired. I love etsy and discovering other artsy peeps. I'm 31 years old. I am into paper crafting, art dolls, photography, and other random stuff.

Unknown said...

I think what makes your blog so fascinating is that it is just you sharing about your life, and that human element is what draws me in. I don't really know how I would classify it other than just a woman's blog about her loves and interests. And of course it helps that your blog is pretty to look at.

I am a stay at home mom, and I work from home as well. I sew woman's and children's clothing and bags, and I also am a photographer. I have a blog too. My little Piper girl is 14 months old.

Take care Rachel, I am really glad that you share your life with others.

Unknown said...

First, I love your blog! Second, don't change a thing ;)

When I think of your blog, I think vintage craftiness galore...LOVE it!

I'm 33, working mama to Penelope(5)& Gregory Jr. (18 months), wifey to Greg. Love thrifting, all things crafty, photography and anything that requires me to be in the kitchen.

I love reading your blog...it's the perfect escape during my hard time in Cubicle Hell.

shelby said...

1. Either Inspirational or Crafty Lifestyle

2. I love how it's a good mix of all of those!

I would classify your blog as vintage, crafty, mommy!!

I like seeing the mix of everything, love seeing your vintage finds, and craft projects.

I am a married working mom of a 18 month old in the 25-30 range.

I am a scrapbooker, crafter, just learned to knit and crochet, wanting to learn to sew, wishing I had more time to do all of these.

I think that about covers it.

2. I love a good mix, variety is healthy and keeps a blog interesting!

3. I'm 14, lover of sewing, painting, (basically everything artsy) ballet, blogging, and all things vintage. :)

Hi Rachel!
I'm Heather and I live in Leeds (England.) Your blog is one of my favourites :)
I would label it an inspirational blog, mostly crafty and always visually inspiring.
I love reading about your family (I think you parenting style is ace) and I love seeing your vintage finds. I enjoy reading you craft tutorials as well.

I like to read a mix of all of the things you listed, perhaps a slight leaning towards family anecdotes.

I am 24 and I am married, attempting to buy a house, thinking of starting a family, and working as a temp in a bank :)

I hope that helps! oh and I have a blog as well, www.littletinbird.co.uk and my hobbies are crochet and photography.

2. i like a mix of everything. as a mom, i especially love to hear about your triumphs with your kids. it's uplifting and humbling to hear that other moms have less-than-perfect days but also come up with really creative ways to parent.

3. i am a (almost married) mom of 2, age 25. i am a graphic designer for a living but i crochet and do photography in my spare time.

2. Personal anecdotes and craft tutorials
3. 20-30/working/female/married w/ no kids

Tanya said...

I would say it's a craft/sewing blog most of all. I love everything you post, but I really love the sewing tutorials/projects or paintings or other crafty things you come up with. It's very inspiring for me. I'm 26 in 9 days, I'm married with 3 kids ages 6 to 2. I stay at home except 2 days a week help my husband out with his business. I love your blog for the creativity, but also because you have kiddos too. I don't know a lot of young moms with kids in my 'real' life! :)

Erika M. said...

I really like your blog the way it is. I'm sure I would be the one to classify your blog since I didn't know that there are classifications. A wife and mother to one child ( daughter)- I teach science - I'm 36.

geek details said...

I would call your blog craft inspiration.

I'd love to see more tutorials, especially sewing ones. I suck at sewing despite trying to learn how to use my machine.

I'm a 27 year old married momprenuer. I work from home on my own store and have two boys.

megan haughery said...

Nyssa said...

I would classify your blog as simply awesome. Love it.

I prefer blogs that have some variation...and those that use their own images-- not just picking up other people's images from photo sharing sites. Love the vintage, sewing, crafty stuff, anecdotes....

I am 41, married, new blogger, part time manager of a chic hotel, childless, lover of all things vintage, crafty and otherwise inspiring.

Anonymous said...

1. I think I would say your blog is a mix of visual inspiration, family and design, but I'm not sure..

2. I'd love to see more craft projects & tutorials. I *love* your style, and your crafts are always so lovely and pretty!

3. I'm 18, almost a college student (eeek! it sounds SO weird to think of me as a 'college student', especially because English is not my mother tongue and the word 'college' has weird associations for me... makes me think of those colleges in movies... :) ) female and single.

Thanks for keeping your blog, Rachel :).

danamite said...

1. Lifestyle blog - way more than just craft inspiration

2. I like to follow your passions so keep a mix up

3. 32 years old, just married (July 9th actually), working lady, no kids

Jaimie said...

In my reader, I have it classified as "crafty." Obviously this is not all that I would use to describe your blog, but in short, that's what I call it.

I like when you show your sewing projects and your kids.

I'm a 22 year old SAHM, engaged.

hope this helps! jaimie

Mini & Mod said...

I love your blog!

I would classify it as a creative, diy, mom sort of blog. Not stuffy mom with marth stweart catalog, awesome mom that lets her kids paint even though it's messy sort of blog.

I wish you all the luck with everything!

sarahjanepeck said...

1. I would call it an indie-chic blog. There's always something appealing for those interested in "quirky" (I hate this word) and art loving readers. It's like an artsy mixtape: art, music, DIY, vintage, crafty, etc.

2. I love anything tutorial so I would like those, as well as visual/vintage inspiration. But emphasis on tutorials!

3. I'm a 21-year-old female student/blogger who has two and a half years until graduating with a graphic design degree!

Anonymous said...

1. in my blog reader program i have you listed as "crafty blogs"
2. i love the mix you have going now but i will say every time you post a tutorial or pictures of projects you are working on i get more excited than usual to read it!
3. 25/reporter and craft booth owner/female/non-wife and non-mom (yet haha)

kristin said...

Your blog is one of my favorites, and one I really look forward to seeing pop up in my feeds!

1. Hard one to classify - I've been putting my blogs into folders in Google Reader, and yours is one I haven't categorized yet. "Crafty Inspirational" is a good label I saw someone else say, or "Crafty Mama."

2. You have a perfect mix of topics now! Keep it up! :)

3. I'm a 28 year old married mama of a 2 year old with another baby on the way. I work 4 days a week at a desk job, and am home with my daughter on Fridays. I took up sewing about a year ago and got totally hooked, and am always hunting for tutorials/inspiration/handmade ideas.

Thanks for your great work and sharing your life with us! :)

I would classify your blog as vintage inspired crafty fabulousness.

I love the visuals but I find that your posts are always a good mix of everything. Your little ones are ADORABLE and I love when they make appearances!

I am a SAHM, married, age group 30 something.

Your blog is one of my favorite daily reads, keep the good stuff coming!

Lesley said...

you're already had a ton of response... it's obvious when first visiting your blog what's important to you: family & crafting.

i live in springfield, as well so i love reading about the real life and when you mention something/somewhere knowing exactly what you're talking about! it's kind of neat.

i'm a sucker for a good real, life blog instead of something that is JUST crafting, food, home design, fashion etc. i think you have a nice balance going on here. :) i enjoy reading and often find myself wishing i was as crafty as you!

1. Crafty/Family
2. I like a mix of everything. I think your blog should reflect you so if your life involves all of those things, then bring it on!

I have Smile and Wave under "Crafts" in my reader, even though I still read it for everything!

I think you have a great balance of life and crafty things, but I don't get tired of diy project ideas.

Finally, I'm a 21-year-old female student in a long-term relationship.

I love your blog! [:

I would classify your blog as a lifestyle blog. Just because it showcases interests and important aspects of your unique life.

Personally, my favourite part is the craft tutorials and inspirations, although I love hearing about your family as well, it makes you more relatable and seem more "real".

A personal blog focused on craft, diy, and art related media and how you see it/use it in your daily life.

I enjoy all three, would love to see more tutorials! Can't get enough of those. Plus I love your color schemes, they are fantastic!

I'm 24, work a full-time job, no kids, not married but in a five year relationship <3

We'll I'll be very very honest here. I don't think I'd change one thing about your blog. I have been a fan for some time now, and have really enjoyed watching Ruby grow. I think your little man needs a little more time on the blog hahahaha.

I'd clasify it as Vintage know how with a crafty twist.

I'm 36 years young, married three sons (that's why I like seeing the girly stuff, boy stuff gets old)

I work full time.

I enjoy the pics and stuff most, but really love all things crafty, I'm a rubber stamper and hope to re-learn to sew soon.

1. "The crafty blog of a work at home mama." i think that this description you have is quite apt...

2. i like a mix of all of these. I do love the personal anecdotes, and photographs from your vintage shopping adventures so much though!

3. early 20's, student (studying design), single.

I like that your blog is a mix, and that you don't feel the need to focus on one topic. It's one of my favorites - I'm actually not behind in my google reader! I don't think that you need to change it at all...

I just turned 30, and just got married...

3. What age group/occupation/gender/family status are you? Okay, so I just turned 40, but I'm not sure I want to claim the 40-50 category!

1. i have a big list of links on my blog under a title of 'arts, inspiration, etc.' which is where i'd put you! pretty vague though...i just don't like to categorize things! so many blogs are so versatile.

2. i honestly get annoyed seeing a zillion pictures of bloggers' kids over and over, but that's your choice if you want, and i'm sure lots of people love it! anecdotes are good though. and i love inspiration posts.

3. i'm a 21 year old female, college student, engaged & living with my fiance but not married yet!

I love your blog. It has made me feel like I can be interesting, and enjoy hobbies, crafts..without just feeling like an old married woman. haha. I am only 36, but still. I have 2 children, am married, and work part time as a nurse. I have started back to school part time for my RN degree. I love your blog for the personal aspect of it with tidbits of your family life, but also craft tutorials. It is a wonderful mix of all great, fun, stylish, cute things.

Have you heard enough after 195 comments? WOW! ;) Here's my entry if you're not tired of a kajillion comments.
1. I would classify your blog as *a modern, crafty mom sharing her beautiful life with the world.* Is that a category?
2. I love your craft tutorials. I also love your family anecdotes. Oh! I got it! I also love your wardrobe style. Maybe more of those? Like, random shots of you running around town with the kidlets, but doing it stylishly. I hope that makes sense.
3. I am a 27 year old stay at home crafty mom. After I graduated from college, my hubby and I opted for me to stay home with the kidlets. I have 3 daughters: 6, 4, and 9 months.
I LOVE your blog, girl.

sabrina said...

Hi!

I have your blog filed under the "Crafty Blogs" folder in my favorites. I think you're definitely a crafty girl!

I love reading your blog because its bright and cheery. I found your blog at a very sad point in my life. My brother passed away in January and I needed something happy to read every day. I LOVE all the posts about your kids and hubby. You're the cutest little family!

I also love hearing about Red Velvet Art and all the upcoming classes. I was able to take the "Tell Your Story" art journaling class, and plan on taking your "Home Ec" class. I'm really excited!

I was a student when I started reading your blog. Currently, I am not in school and I plan on taking a year off to get married and have a life! I just turned 30 in April.

Hope this helps!
Sabrina

Emma said...

My immediate thought was 'inspirational crafty', then after pondering on why I especially love your blog, the word that came to mind was 'genuine' - you seem to have a very natural 'real' way of sharing your creativity - I like that!
I personally love the mixture of stuff on your blog.
I am 40 and live in the UK with my husband of 18 years and my 3 beautiful girls, aged 13,11 and 7 years. My current creative passion is crochet.

Thank you for this fantastic blog!
