Take a Tour of the New Blog

Hi, everybody!!! 

So, what do think of the new blog??? I think it's 100 times better than the old one. It looks better and it's extremely well organized. 

Take a look around.

Looking for tutorials??? They are all under the Sewing Tutorials page tab. ALL sewing related posts can be found there. Each post is put into a category to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. 

Looking for a homeschool unit study theme?? They are all listed under the Homeschool Lessons page tab. Everything in its proper category. You can find ALL homeschool related posts there. 

Want to see the books I've been reading?? Check out the Reading Challenges page. You will also find ALL book posts there as well as a count of this year's books. I think I'm 26/100????

Want to read the craziness that goes on in my life or the blog challenges like Secret Subject Swap, Use Your Words or Fly on the Wall?? Then you should check out the Craziness page.


There's a page where you can see the different places my work has been displayed (Find Me Here). 

There's even a page about Bags of Hope and Love just in case you want to start your own group. 

If you want to know more About Me, just click that link for the page. 


All the different ways that you can follow me are over on the right side. The look of the buttons may change (once I figure out how to make them pretty) but they will work the same. 

All my posts from the old blog are here!! THAT was some work right there, let me tell you.... Thankfully, I didn't have to do all this myself. 

I am going to give another shout out to Karen of Baking in a Tornado for being such a wonderful, sweet, awesome friend. What could have taken FOREVER only took a couple of days thanks to all of her help. 


So, there you have it! My pretty new blog. 

Let me know what you think!!! 

I have tons of fun stuff coming up! I even have some sewing tutorials to share. It's been sooooo  long!! I can't wait!!!

I will still be sharing homeschooling resources as well. 

I came to a realization as I was going through my old posts. I used to share so much with you all. I'm not talking about tutorials and resources, but myself. I used to TALK to y'all, not just share info. I miss that. I am going to make sure that as I go forward with the new blog, I will start talking to you all more. 

I also noticed a distinct lack of humor in my everyday posts... I will fix that, too.... LOL 

So, get comfy and take a look around. Let me know what you like or what you don't.... LOL 

SO HAPPY!!! 
SO GLAD TO HAVE THIS PRETTY BLOG!! 
SO THRILLED TO BE SEWING AGAIN!! 

Maybe it was a good thing that Wordpress shut me out......... LOL

Hi There!

So, what do think of the new blog? Pretty isn't it?? I LOVE IT!!!!

I know, you're used to seeing me over at Wordpress. Well, something went wonky. I have NO clue what exactly, but now I am locked out of my blog!! LOCKED OUT!!!! I've tried emailing but haven't received a response. I figured since that happened, I would just go ahead and move my blog. I mean, REALLY!!!! First getting locked out and then not getting any sort of response?? No, thank you!!! 

I have been going CRAZY!!!! Thankfully I have been able to export some of my old posts. There's a problem, though... I have to replace all the pictures! ALL THE PICTURES!!! Most of them are gone along with the old blog. 

I will try to do what I can with the tutorials. Hopefully I will be able to access all of the pictures soon. If not, I may not be able to put all the tutorials up. The pictures were saved on Wordpress and my old laptop (which died a horribly painful death not too long ago) and I may not be able to retrieve any of them. I may end up only being able to post the end result instead of step by step pictures. 

As far as the homeschool posts go, I can get them up and going much faster. I just have to get my header pics together and repost them all to each and every post.... 

SIGH.....


So, please, stick with me while I try to figure all of this out. It may take me a little bit to get this up and going the way I want it to. 

I have a GINORMOUS thank you to say. Karen from Baking in a Tornado has been SUCH a sweetheart!! She has spent her time helping me get this all set up. THANK YOU, Karen!! I don't know what I would have done without you!!!! XOXOXOXOX!!!!!
