So long, Blogspot. Hello, Wordpress!

I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ .  There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer.  I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore ...

{sewing} Mathilde blouse

Today I'll share my  Mathilde blouse  by Tilly and the Buttons. I finished it in the summer but promptly forgot all about it - yes, I know how bad that sounds. In my defence, the cotton I used for it and the long-ish sleeves meant I didn't have many opportunities to wear it up until the colder weather arrived. Hoje vou mostrar minha  blusa Mathilde  da Tilly and the Buttons. Ela foi terminada no verão mas imediatamente esqueci de sua existência - eu sei, péssimo. Em minha defesa, o algodão que usei e as mangas quase longas contribuíram para que eu não tivesse muitas oportunidades de usá-la até o tempo esfriar um pouco.

{knitting} FO: Chalet Cardigan

This post was supposed to have gone up on Monday but I was too busy attending THE BEST CONCERT EVER on Sunday night and everything got a bit held up... In case you don't know or were wondering, we went to see Mumford & Sons and I'm still buzzing today! It was bloody amazing! And now I'll stop talking about it because it only makes me want to go back in time and see them again. Esse post deveria ter sido publicado segunda-feira mas eu estava ocupada demais assistindo o melhor show do mundo domingo à noite e acabei me atrasando. Caso você não saiba ou esteja curiosa/o, nós assistimos Mumford & Sons e ainda estou pirada até hoje! Foi sensacional! Mas agora chega de falar no assunto pois só me dá vontade de voltar no tempo e estar lá novamente.
