Bonjour!… I’ve no idea why i’m starting with a French welcome. I’ve just come back from bonny Scotland so I should be all ‘Och Aye the Noo’ and other phrases of the sort.
Anyway, cutting to the chase – i’m back, woohoo! It feels good to be blogging again. I’ve had a little break while the lovely Tasha from My Cute Lobster waved her magical design wand over the blog. I’ve now moved from blogger to my own fantastic self hosted site! I’m hoping to continue working with Tasha to add a stylish wedding boutique to the blog and some other exciting features. Ssshhh! It’s all top secret for now!
Here’s a huge shout out to Tasha for having the patience of a saint while I changed my mind about design ideas every five minutes. Tasha is very professional and worked with me tirelessley until I was happy with the final result. Thanks Tasha!!! You can check out her website My Cute Lobster here.
So you might be wondering what I have been upto behind the scenes over recent weeks. Here’s a brief rundown…
- ❤ Not being 100% happy with the previous logo, I went for a brand new look. I wanted something clean and simple that conveyed the message of ‘Handmade’ and ‘Weddings’ and here is the result….
Ta dahhh! What do you think?
- ❤ Creating a new blog design and going self hosted required way more effort than I had anticipated. Tasha and I did a LOT of back and forth messaging. Nearly 200 messages to be exact! We got there in the end though and look at the result! Being a complete novice to all website building things I had to faff around a bit setting up hosting, transferring domains and learning some very simple (and I mean SIMPLE) aspects of web coding. There is still so much to learn!
- ❤ I’ve also been getting my head around the business side of things, creating a plan for a super trendy wedding boutique. I’m a sucker for details, which has slowed me down while I create a humongous document. I’m sure it’s way longer than it needs to be, but hey, at least all the info is there for when I am ready to go. This might be a project that doesn’t get off the ground properly until next summer, but i’m chipping away!
So it’s on with the show… Do join me for a good old natter and some pretty picture sharing by using the social media buttons at the top and and bottom of the site! Some of my pages are new and looking a little bit lonely right now so don’t be shy and say hello!
