It’s been a while since I’ve written a post…quite a while. I have been sewing, so it’s not like I don’t have anything to post about, it’s just that blogging seems like too much hard work lately. Anyone else agree? Roman is at school now so you think I would have more time for it, but Ted dropped his nap at much the same time so I don’t get much time to myself. Which means it’s almost impossible to take any photos.

So instead of writing some much needed blog posts, I thought I’d give the blog a makeover instead. Haha! I am the master of procrastination! I love the fresh new look and I think it makes my content much easier to find. Here are some of my favourite new features:

Search – As always, the search bar is nice and easy to find. I think a search bar is a must on a blog!

Inspiration – Under the ‘Get Inspired‘ menu you can find tutorials as well as my quilt collection and the beginnings of my handmade wardrobe, as well as the kids’ handmades.

Pattern Shop – The Pattern Shop is up next, giving you easy access to my sewing and knitting patterns.

My Quilts – Now that quilting is a new found love for me, you can find my latest quilts in all their colourful glory!

Sweet Treats – Quickly find my sweet recipes. This section randomly shows 4 posts so each time you refresh the page you get a new selection. You can find all my recipes still in the ‘Recipes‘ menu

Recent Posts – To hide the fact that they aren’t all that recent, half way down the homepage you can find my latest posts. You can still view the blog the old school way, from the ‘Blog‘ menu.

Sewing Tutorials – Like the Sweet Treats, this section shows a random selection of sewing tutorials from my catalog.

Newsletter Signup – Sign up to my sporadic newsletter from the footer or from the sidebar on any post page.

Well there you go! That’s a quick run through of the new look. I hope you like it as much as I do!
