Welcome to My New Home!
Hi y’all,
If you’ve just joined me, welcome…if you are a long time friend…welcome back and thanks for visiting me once again. Take a look around and tell me what you think about my new space. I feel like I’ve gone from a bedsit to a cool apartment to an airy artist loft.
One of the reasons I changed over is that I am now hosting my blog on my own domain. Instead of using a free platform, I get to be the one to control content. Don’t get me wrong, I loved using WordPress, but it got to be a bit restrictive.
I originally started blogging on Blogger but, at that time (oh so long ago) they weren’t very advanced in their platform, although they have come a long, long way since. That can only be a good thing for those of you who still use Blogger.
So I mentioned something in my goodbye post back on the other blog about a Give-a-Way. The first person to leave a comment and sign up on this, my “new and improved” blog, will receive a beautiful hand dyed-by-me half yd of fabric AND one of my new hand-made journal notebooks.
And remember that happy place I was talking about…..if you are one of the next 4 people to do the same, each of you will receive one of my hand dyed FQ’s.
I recently dyed some more fabric so there’s new stuff to be had. I’ll be adding them to my other blog, ARtFuL CReaTioNs. Eventually I will be moving everything onto this site but, until then, you’ll still be able to access all my hand dyes there.
So with all that said, grab a cup of coffee or tea, find a comfy chair and sit and visit for a while.
Grace,
I like the new look! It definitely reflects your evolution- and isn’t that what life is about? Changing, growing…
There was a quote that I saw a while back thatIi use at work when people resist changes- Without change there would be no butterflies.
Spread your wings and soar!
P.s. I wish I lived close enough to come see the orchid exhibit- it looks amazing!
I’ve followed you here!
The new blog space looks great. I’ve been waiting for pictures of the snow dyeing results. Hope to see those soon!
VERY NICE GRACE. You have been busy! I like the water background.
I love your water background! You have so many talents! It’s fun to try keeping up with you!
I like the new look. Great art work. Congrats on blogging on your own domain,
Even if I am not one of the 1st four…I really like the new blog, but I liked the old one too.

Good luck with your new blog. Do you know that picture of the red round barn close to Minneapolis?

Barns are also a favorite of mine, but I like all colors, not just red. Weathered, unpainted ones are my weakness, I’m lucky to live in a rural area where I see old and new barns whenever I drive just about anywhere. Are you affiliated with the Charlotte Quilt guild that’s putting on the Symposium in June? I think I might have received an email from you in reply to a question I asked. I can’t wait for June!
What a great space! Thanks for the invite to your barn warming. I’m fixing to re-do my website to encompass all of the creative things I do. I’d like to hear more about the advantages of hosting your own blog (currently on WordPress).
Grace, your new presence goes with your work, sophisticated and new.

Wow! Congratulations and love the new look! Yahoo on getting your own name/brand.
Look forward to seeing more of your art. I’m switching you in my google reader and am commenting even tho there are many in front of me. I’d tell you I love your new place anyway!

Thank you, thank you, thank you all for that great response….my heart is warmed!
A few of you have asked about hosting your own domains so look for a post about why I chose to host my own blog, pros and cons included, and you can each make up your minds about whether this is step for you.
Magnifique, Grace ! Your RedBarn Studios look very inviting and artistic, I like it a lot and will visit your new home with great pleasure
Good luck, bonne chance
