Blog name change, again...

If you have been following this blog for a while you would have noticed that it had a name change a few months ago (from Sewing For Sanity to Kate Sews) along with a fancy new domain name (www.katesews.com).
Well call it a girl's prerogative but I'm changing it back to Sewing For Sanity. A lot of the reasons why I changed it in the first place can be found in this post here, but one of the biggest reasons is that the domain name magically came up as being available to buy- after me thinking that it was just never gonna happen. Goes to show you what you get for making assumptions!
Anyway I hope you all stay with me and tolerate this latest foible- I swear  this is the last name change ever!
 And as far as I see it it's not technically a name change but reverting back to my original blogspot name, albeit now with snazzy domain .com ;)
 So thanks for sticking with me so far but I understand if I might lose a few people along the way of my blog naming/renaming journey.
As this blog really is just a "hobby"/creative outlet I don't think I've got much to lose (I'm writing for love of it) and I'm really glad to be back with a name that for me has a lot of personal history.

Happy sewing!

Have you heard? Google Reader is shutting down!

That's right, as of 1st July 2013 it will be defunct :(

Not surprisingly here has been a lot of uproar and angst on the interwebs since this news was released, some users have likened it to getting a "Dear John" letter, others are questioning the mind set behind it (you can read more about Google's reasoning behind GR's "retirement" on the  official Google Reader blog here ) and most everyone who has been a user is wondering what to do now?

If like me you read and follow lots of different blogs via Google Reader you'll be looking for a new way to keep track of them all and NOT lose all your subscription information (which in my case has been gained from way too many hours starting at the computer screen until the wee hours of dawn in my pre-kids life, not something I can redo over these days).
