2015 Tastemaker: Amy Ferguson, Old Sweet Song

Ambitious and full of creative ideas, Amy Ferguson is taking on a new challenge in 2015. From honing her cooking skills to exploring the world of fashion and home decor, join Amy on her journey of self-discovery and exploration as she sets out to learn something new this year.

The hilarious and thoughtfully artistic Amy Ferguson began Old Sweet Song in 2008 as an outlet to express her creativity. Throughout her blog, you’ll find honest musings, fashion round-ups, posts on pop-culture, many delicious recipes, and house & home projects – really, whatever strikes Amy as interesting. This is what we love about her: she’s eternally curious.

We asked Amy what she’s planning on learning in 2015. Here are the subjects she’s following this year:

WRITING Why she’s following: “I know I have a memoir in me, I just need the assignments and structure of a writing class to help drag it out of me.”

SINGING Why she’s following: “I’d love to sing one song in public at an open mic or something. Bucket list.”

POTTERY Why she’s following: “I crave the physical act of making things. It’s good for the soul.”

PUBLIC SPEAKING Why she’s following: “I hate it and I’m not very good at it. The thought of even taking the class makes me want to throw up. I guess that’s exactly why I should sign up.“

COUPLES COOKING Why she’s following: “I really enjoy cooking and so does my fiancé. I think we’d kill it in a class like this.”

AND WHEN WE ASKED WHAT SHE’LL TAKE FIRST? 

“Memoir 2 with Gotham!”
