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.

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

I saw  this post  by Philippa from  Fabricate  and I immediately bought the fabric. When she found out I hadn't yet made a Kalle, she threatened to ban me from the shop. What was I supposed to do?! 😆 I copied her dress exactly and I know some people might think that's a bit naff but she said it was fine, we don't really hang in the same circles and, twinning is winning, so... 🤷‍♀️ In case you're wondering, the fabric can be found here . It's currently sold out but it looks like she'll be getting some more in soon. I *highly* recommend it. It's 100% viscose and it'
