Hi Fran,
For some of us, myself included, it is a way to communicate with other people
of like minds. It's also a way to communicate with friends far away, telling
people of our day, our accomplishments, letting off steam, good things, bad
things, whatever we want to share... sort of like the comments, off topic and
on topic that people on this list write about.
What Kimiko said above. I'm not a SAHM, but I do work in a field far
removed from costume and I have other specific and non-mainstream
interests, so LJ and other online forums (and lists like this one) are
a way to keep in touch with like-minded/interested people, see what
they're doing, compare notes, etc.
It's also good as a "keeping people up to date" place - sort of a
substitute for the yearly Christmas letter in which you tell everyone
what you've done for the last year; this way you save postage and
update it more frequently.
Given the slow nature of most of my costume projects, I don't keep a
separate dress diary, but I do post in my general journal about what
I'm working on when there's a development, in addition to my usual
every day stuff.
If anyone on LJ wants to Friend or Friend back, drop me a private line.
Allison T.
