Hi! Newbie here wave I just wondered who else was writing about handmade and crafty stuff - I'd love to have a nosey and also subtly convince you to take a peek at mine too Wink
I'm still learning the ropes - when to post, how often, how to use wordpress etc. All advice gratefully recieved!

ps How did you get the Etsy button on your site - I want one!

lovely blog - your button picture looks great!
The etsy badge was fairly simple in wordpress - I found the image by doing a google search, and added it to the home page with a clickable link using the web address. Not sure how it works in blogger though? (It's a text box widget on wp) Smile

Nice Blog indeed. But make sure your blog's custom logo design should be look very good as it can grab your reader's attention.

Hello there polished button

My blog umisushimakes.blogspot.co.uk/ is about making things yourself. There is a bit of sewing (mainly clothes for the kids), some gardening, some cooking, some DIY and general family life stuff. I love finding new crafty UK blogs.

Good luck with yours

Umi x

This looks like a fun share and way to waste even more time reading fab blogs! Tried to comment on your blog costumequeen but wouldn't let me, maybe because I don't have a wordpress blog. I'm not sure but anyway thank you for the hat pattern link exactly what I was looking for xx

There is a little box to tick that says something like converts link automatically. Enjoyed looking at all your blogs. I should leave comments - thinks belatedly! Happy 40th old policehouse. Mine is approaching.
