Blog overhaul FYI

Hello everybody, floresita here with an FYI that we will be doing a full blog overhaul today. I'll be mucking around with the template all day, so if things look different every time you click through, no worries, you're not going crazy!

All to say we'll have a nice new design soon, thanks to a shiny new template by Rylee Blake Design.

While I'm working, can you do me a favor and leave a comment on this post? We've had a few people have difficulty making comments in the past, and we want to be sure you can on our new template!

How about this? Tonight, I'll choose 1 random winner to celebrate our new template - and you'll receive the crafty book of your choice! Choose any book you like that is available on Amazon! Leave us a comment with the title of the crafty book you really really really want today, and thanks! :)

Edit: Sunday morning - winner time!

I would really really really love a copy of Simply Retro by Camille Roskelley (it's been on my wishlist for a while!). Best of luck with the new blog design - looking forward to seeing the new look! Natalie x

We also have a winner in our Felt Wee Folk drawing, which ended on Friday:

    I really want the book http://www.amazon.com/-Z-Embroidery-Stitches-Inspirations/dp/0646320025/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1424558971&sr=1-3&keywords=a+to+z+of+embroidery+stitches It is a fabulous book about embroidery stitches. It is a older book with a fabulous spiral binding..So it will last...I have one of the other books in this huge A to Z series. And I love it...

    I would love to get the book Spoken Without A Word - 30th Anniversary Revised edition by Elly Sienkiewicz. It is a wonderful quilting reference book that I want to add to my quilting library. Thanks for the chance.

    I haven't started a blog of my own, so I can only imagine the challenges involved in making updates! I hope everything goes smoothly! And, I'd love to get Brave New Quilts, by Kathreen Ricketson. It's been on my wish list for a while, now!

    Big props for re-doing your blog. Can't wait to see the final. I'd love the new Alabama Chanin book: Alabama Studio Sewing Patterns, it's on pre-order now. I'm in love with making these clothes.

    Can't wait to see the new look! I would Yoko Saito's 120 original embroidery designs book! Her work fascinates me and I've seen so many pretty things from this book. Fingers crossed!
