Well hi and welcome to my new blog! To say that I love this new space is an understatement. You hope for the best when you sign up with a designer, you hope they get your style even though they’ve just ‘met’ you online. You spend hours thinking about colours and font and layout and what you want and what you don’t want. There are late nights too. And you’re not the one actually designing it. But you want to get it just right.
But it is so worth it in the end. My new blog is everything I wanted and more. It’s fresh and modern while still being a little bit retro and vintage. It’s not too fussy while still being a little bit crafty and creative. I wanted an easy layout that wasn’t too tricky for my regulars. And if you’ve come to this blog and are a little confused by the new design then just click ‘blog’ up there in the top tabs and you’ll be able to read the blog the old way. Easy.
I still have a few things to tweak here and there but I just want to start blogging again now that all of my content is here! All 5 years of it! And over 33,000 comments! A huge thank you to Courtney who made all of this possible. And was so patient. I’m not the brightest blogger on the block when it comes to wordpress, self hosting or any of that stuff but no question was too stupid. And I had some questions. Thank you! And Courtney will be back designing blogs next year……after she’s had her baby.
So I hope you like it………………..
I’m loving this new layout Corrie! It’s so fresh and clean and pretty
You’ve done very well and so has Courtney… I love reading your blog regardless of the space – so I’ll follow anywhere and I’m sure many will feel the same!

Well done Corrie, it looks fabulous.
Love it Corrie! It’s not overstated, but simple, pretty and fresh! I never imagined that I would enjoy dropping by more than I already did, but this new website really is a delight!
It looks utterly fabulous, love it: perfect!!
I am having a giveaway you might like Corrie, it is a copy of Antonia Kidman’s new book ‘The Simple Things’. Though with 5 children of your own I am sure you could have written the book yourself…!

Sometimes I really have a hard time to get used to changes. That’s what I feel about your new blog at the moment. I loved the old design, the sweet pics in the header and everything… Maybe, as time goes by, I’ll also love the new design. But I appreciate your posts anyway :O)

Oh Corrie I love this template and hope to use it when I upgrade my blog at some time in the future its so gorgeous! Congrats!
I would love to buy fabric to finally make something for myself. I find that for the amount of fabric I need it would be cost prohibitive however I would love the challenge and satisfaction of making my own clothes not just my daughters.
