Wow, I’ve been here in Blogland as Dirndl Skirt for almost twelve years!
On May 3, 2012, I hit the publish button on my first post: “The Dichotomy of Me.” I just reread it, and the sentiments still hold true. What has changed is that I want to change the way I create, show & tell.
Also, there are just too many spam-bots floating around. I want to dial back and make my art-to-human connections more on my comfort level. A.I. ain’t for me.
If anyone reads this, and wants to “follow” me, well, I haven’t changed my email in forever, so if you have that, you’re good to go. (Verizon is the devil I know.)
I am keeping my website (it will be updated later this year): Sharon Watts Creative
And my writing website: Sharon Watts Writes
I’m still doing the things I love; maybe they will find a place in the world. And I still wear the things I love: old cashmere sweaters, ballet flats, shrink-to-fit Levis. And dirndl skirts. You have to stick with what feels right, and accept that some flexibility in mindset is a good accessory! And every once in a while, shake things up! (Like Otis Redding!)
I think this blog will go black on April 23, 2024. I’ve enjoyed the run!

Sharon you know more than most that following your gut is the only path to stay on. ❤️ It’s been a great ride for us reading these creative and imaginative blog posts – I look forward to following your antics on the streets and hugs in person… HNY
Thank you, Theresa! As Pete would sing: For everything there is a season, Turn, Turn, Turn 🙂
Did you back up the site to an archive? I can help if you need it. I first met you as dirndleskirt, so this is sentimental.
I saved every post and page as a pdf file, that’s all I know how to do. Open to other suggestions! And yes, that was how you met me! ❤
