I'm so happy to have Nancy here from Owen's Olivia.
How did you choose the name for your blog?
When I decided that I would start blogging, picking a name was a bit tricky and difficult. I knew my blog would not be for my family to keep up with the going ons in my life, and I knew it would serve a purpose to share with others my creative adventures. I had just begun to sew, and I did not realize that almost two years into blogging I would take such a focus on the craft. I dreaded home economics in middle school!

Owen and Olivia, Olivia and Owen, and Olivia and Kate (Kate being at that time what I wanted to name a daughter)
Honestly, I just wanted a cool name that was easy to remember. Something with words or names that just fit well together but left it open to interpretation like Skinny laMinx, Westwood Acres, Lulu DK, or Zak + Fox. I'm not sure if I accomplished that with owen's olivia, but I just lack creativity in the naming department.

Maybe for the first year I was little unsure about my name. Some days I like it, some days not. I cannot tell you how many times people have called me Olivia. (I guess my wish is coming true :)
I think now that I am becoming more known, I feel this is the name that will stay with me for the duration of my blogging time, and I am okay with that. I would definitely like to change my business name into something more like I mentioned above, but I am terrible at coming up with names!
Thanks for having me today! Feel free to follow along with me as I share my sewing and home projects. You can find me on Facebook, Bloglovin', Etsy, and of course on my blog.
Thanks so much, Nancy, for sharing with us today.
Coming up: Live a Colorful Life.
Yes, it's true. Next week I am playing the Name Game! Simply Miss Luella will be hosting and there might even be a little giveaway. I hope you will check it out!
Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to have you visit again soon.
Cindy
