I've been pretty quiet lately. We've been working behind the scenes to revamp the blog and add functionality to this space. Shannon Cook is the designer behind this gorgeous new layout. She has brought colour and personality to the site while maintaining the white space and minimalism that I feel is so important. She has also created new features and functions to transform a static blog into a dynamic website. I love it! I think she's done an amazing job and the space reflects me so well...
My patterns are neatly organized into catagories that are consistent with my Etsy Shop...
Not only can you browse my pattern catalogue you can also buy all of my patterns directly from this site. We've added a convenient shopping cart so that you can buy multiple patterns in one simple transaction. You can even use coupon codes to cash in on sales and special promotions!
And my absolute favourite addition to the site is this lovely home page...
These are just some of the highlights. If you are following along through a reader please come and visit the new site and take a full tour, I'd love to hear your feedback!
I am so excited to launch this new site I thought we could have a little launch party! Come join the celebration, take a tour and leave a comment. By doing so you will be entered to win...
I hope you enjoy the new look as much as I do!
Be sure to leave contact information along with your comment (...email address or Ravelry ID)
...and with Christmas coming up and a busy schedule ahead, I've decided to leave this one open ended, so if you stop by and the comments are still open there's still a chance to win :)
