Hi everyone-
Thanks for sitting back during SE’s downtime. If you are reading in a RSS reader, you likely saw a change in the way the feed looks too. Come over to the main website to see all the new changes!
First, I did a redesign to emphasize the photography more. I feel strongly that content should come first in a design and many of you commented that you really valued the photography.
Second, I worked to make navigation easier. Hopefully, you can find the posts you want when you want them. I’ll be adding in more navigation tools soon.
Third, I want to better communicate with you about upcoming posts. If you look over on the left sidebar, you’ll see a list of what’s coming. Instead of using a notebook, I’m going to use that little widget to keep track of upcoming posts. I thought you all might enjoy that feature as it lets you see what’s on the horizon.
Fourth, if you have any suggestions yourselves about anything, please leave a comment at the end of this post.
Fifth, the update isn’t 100% complete. You might notice some issues with images over the next couple of weeks and some tweaks and shifts here and there.
Many of you have already taken this survey, I’d love it if you’d take a second to complete it if you haven’t already. Your feedback is important to me. Here it is: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22B2UDT3WWH

So glad you are back ! Missed your blog, you always talk about unique & interesting topics. Your new layout is nicely done & I didn’t think it could have been improved but you proved me wrong ! I am very interested in thimble collecting & also vintage needle cases, scissors, sewing boxes,tape measures & sewing items. Perhaps you & some of your readers are also. I will check back daily.Have a nice day :)
Thank you so much! I will have to look into posting some on vintage needle cases–those have such a fascinating story behind them.
