Blog email

Well, two days in a row!

Today a short message to those who get an email message whenever I write a new post. You will at some point have clicked at "Follow by email" as shown on the side bar of the blog:

However, the service that provide this, Feedburner, will soon stop offering this. Which means you will no longer receive emails when I write a new post. You may be happy to hear it (after all, TWO posts in as many days!) and if so, you will not have to do anything and the emails will soon stop.

If you would like to keep up with what I write you will have to do something. Here are some options:

* You could just check the blog now and then and see whether there is a new post. You can even bookmark the page in your browser

* You can use a blog reader site and add this blog to it. Check out Bloglovin or Feedly or maybe you have found another reader site? You will need to create a login for either of these. 

* You can follow me on Instagram (IG). Apart from regular posts of a photo with a caption about my  garden and craft activities, I will regularly mention when I have written a new post. With a link in my IG profile to the blog for easy access.

I'd love to know if you are still actively reading blogs, and which way you prefer to find out about new posts...

Starting afresh

Are you tempted by new notebooks, a blank page, a new pencil? I am!

New notebook and pencils with motivational phrases
 

It has led me to consider starting a new blog... New layout, fresh start and all that. But after some thinking, I have realised that it is more important to create new posts, rather than a new blog. So this will be a new start on the old blog.

I intend to be writing a few small posts, mostly for myself to get into the habit of blogging again. A photo, a little text. A gentle easing back into blogging after a long absence.

I may play around with the banner photos, or some other minor changes to the looks, but essentially this is my blog, and it will stay that way. At least for now 😊

New Year, new planner

Having made planners for the Finish-A-Long for many years now, I have become used to having a planner page to keep track of my projects. I am no longer involved in the FAL, but I still need a planner to at least try and keep order of my many WIPs. I confess, my list is not getting any smaller...!


 

So this year I have redesigned the planner, and even better (I think), I have designed two slightly different planner pages. One is specifically designed with quilt projects in mind (blocks, basting, binding, etc.) and the other for craft projects in general. Find both as a free download from the "Project Planner" page.

And good luck with getting your projects finished in 2021!
