I figured I should officially announce that my blog has moved to its new home here on Substack! I’ve had this move on my to-do list for a few years honestly. It came at a great time because I also switched to a new shop template for my shop (be sure to stop by and check that out, too).
Why substack? Well, there are a few reasons!
Substack has been a great spot for content creators to share their work. With my blog on substack, you can subscribe to receive each post in your inbox (you don’t have to subscribe, but it’s an option now!). Plus, you might already be familiar with Substack, so that makes it all the easier.
I also have an interest in simplifying as much as I can at this point. Blogging via Wordpress seemed like it had run its course for me. Wordpress had been great for the past 12+ years (and Blogger for years before that!), but it’s more tech than I need at this point. It already feels easier! Yay for that.
I wanted to make sure you could follow what I’m up to lately! It’s easy for things to get lost in social media, but with Substack it’s not like that.
If you subscribe, you won’t miss anything I post here on my blog. It feels like going back to basics and I’m really excited about it. I’ve been a little quieter this summer, mostly posting to my stories on Instagram. I have been sewing up a storm, making a long list of garments for myself and my daughters, so check out my Summer Sewing highlight on my IG if you’re curious. I promise I’ll do a round-up post once I make my way through a few more tops/pants on my list!
I also have some very fun NEW stuff coming up this fall/winter. Honestly, you won’t want to miss it.
Thanks for joining me on this ever evolving ride! I’ve been blogging since 2009 - that’s 17 years if you’re counting. My girls were just one and three at that time and wow, I’m so glad there were there with me through it all. My oldest is now 20 and my youngest is just about 18!
If you spot anything that looks goofy (especially if you’re checking out an old post) just let me know and I can see if I can get it fixed.
One thing that didn’t get moved over are all the comments left on each post over the years! I plan on trying to post some of those historical comments that are helpful on some of the more frequented blog posts, but that will take some time.
I definitely want you to be able to use this blog as a resource as always. On the top of the blog page you’ll find a menu link bar: check out my Tutorials page for all the freebies I’ve done over the years OR stop by the Technique page for tips and techniques I’ve shared, too!
Hope your summer has been relaxing/restorative if you needed it, and creative/productive if you needed that!
yay for your new blog space! i've been reading your blog for a long time and always enjoy when there's a new post. I'm very happy you are going to continue despite the extra effort, than you :-)
