Confused Blogging

I have another Blog called 'Deb's Journal'.  I sort of abandoned that one in favor of this one which was more focused on my photography.  Recently I wanted to rant, and so I went back to that one.  Now I want to ramble, and I don't know where I should be.
That's rather typical of my life.  I'm not working outside the home and considered selling a 'home parties' product.  My daughter suggested I should focus on photography, since that was my passion.  The longer I think about that, the less sure I am of myself.  I'm really not that focused.
Yes, I do love photography.  And lots of other crafts. And baking.  And being around people.  (That is the part of me that would love to do home parties again.)  I could also blog about food - we're just getting into 'gluten-free' in this household, and I enjoy so many of the blogs that I have found about that, I've considered adding my two-cents-worth. 
And did I mention crafts?  I love crafting.  I haven't done nearly as much of that in the last years as I did when my kids were little.  My daughter has a wonderful blog about upcycling and she inspires me.  See: http://penguinkisses.wordpress.com/
I've tried many crafts.  I cross-stitched the 23rd Psalm for my folks, and ended up getting it back when they moved to a smaller place, so that is hanging in my dining room.  One Christmas, everything was hand made: dolls and stuffed animals for the kids, cross-stitch and needlepoint.  I knitted sweaters for my girls, though I wouldn't claim to know how to knit.  I spent many hours at the local knit-shop while the owner coached me through the tough spots.  When the lacy barrettes came out about 20 years ago, I made a huge batch of them and sold them to a shop in my folks hometown.
I haven't found a job here in my new hometown (admittedly, the grandchildren are an excuse for not looking too hard), and so I'm back to crafting.  The grandchildren are getting Quiet Books for Christmas.  I've had far more fun making them than I thought I would.  I will take pictures and post them, but not until after Christmas.  I can't have my kids seeing them before-hand.  (The grandkids are too little to count, so someone has to be surprised!)
And when they are done, I will have to dig through my craft box and find my other half-done crafts...  Focus!
