We now have a new header for the adoption blog too. Yay! It was really starting to bother me that the two sites looked so different. I didn't want them to match but I did want them to "feel" like the same family. The new header tells a little story of us. On the right is our home with us dreaming of more children and on the left is an orphanage with our children dreaming of a new family. There is a whole world between us, but there is a little broken and crooked path that connects us.
I seem to have most of the kinks worked out in the shop too (all but that pesky tutorial button! Why does that button have to be so rebellious?? It will only work on the Home page..that hateful button has been driving me nuts for days!). I would love to hear some feedback from a few Mac users. The new program promises to behave nicely with my Mac friends, we shall see about that. If some of you Mac-ers could look over it and drop me a line I would really appreciate it!
Now about Miss Iris! The pattern is now in the shop up for pre-order, and EVERYTHING will be 25% off for the next couple of days. The printer promised to have the pattern sheets at my door by the end of the week and then it will probably take me a day or so to package them, so I expect to be able to send out all of the pre-orders for the printed version sometime next week and I hope to have all of the PDF pre-orders sent out by the end of the week. After that I have a little embroidery pack to debut. That's what I was working on when I made these headers, so it will have that folksy feel to it. It will be a little "map" of our home, trails, creeks, and woods. I still haven't decided what to call it yet...I thought about something like "home and hearth" or "our little homestead" I need to work on that...Any ideas??

But I love the "Handmade Homestead" idea.
Thank you for your wonderful inspiration! Jen
I love the drawings and of course, I love your patterns :)
Hey guys! Sorry I'm late in responding to you all. I really can't figure the shop out. I've done about everything I know to do. Thanks so much for all of your feedback. It's so nice of you all to take the time to check things out for me!

Jen,
I don't have any blog music. I pulled up the tutorial on You tube to see if maybe there was music on my page there, but no music there either. Maybe it was another page open at the same time?? I've done that before...maybe that's it ;)
