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 ...

Today we'll continue with the disinterring of project photos I'd forgotten about... :) This here be my second  Spring Beret , modelled - and made for - my gorgeous girl! Continuemos então desenterrando as fotos das quais eu havia me esquecido... :) Esse aqui é o meu segundo  Spring Beret , modelado por - e feito para - minha menina linda!

Hello, again! Happy new year and all that! So, guess what I've learned so far this year? It's a hell of a lot harder than I expected to get back into your old routine after 3 weeks on holiday. Who'da thunk it?! And I haven't even started going through the photos we took of stuff I made to take with me... The good news is that I found these in my laptop that I'd forgotten about. So I'll post them and, in the meantime, I can go through all the new photos and edit them. Olá outra vez! Feliz ano novo e tudo mais! Então, adivinha o que eu aprendi esse ano? É muito mais difícil do que eu esperava cair de volta na rotina depois de 3 semanas de férias. Quem diria, né? E ainda nem olhei as fotos que tiramos no Brasil das costuras que fiz para levar comigo na viagem. Mas a boa notícia é que achei essas fotos esquecidas no meu laptop. Resolvi postá-las e enquanto isso ganho um tempinho para organizar as fotos novas.
