Of course, the only reason Canadians have Thanksgiving is to “celebrate the harvest and other blessings of the last year”. I don’t have a harvest, but every Thanksgiving our family says “Thank you” for what we have. This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and my list to “Be Thankful” for is very long – but then I am always one to add more to my Be Thankful list than my “What a Bummer” list …
One thing on my Be Thankful list is the number of wonderful sewists, bloggers, Instgrammers, Fabric companies and Pattern makers out there that make my hobby so much more interesting.
Now on that topic, you might have seen a flurry of weird activity on my part on you blog today. It seems for about a month or two I haven’t been getting my usual email notifications that you have posted something new (on my Bummer list!) I wasn’t sure if it was an iPad problem, as I always use my iPad and only occasionally use my laptop. I also only occasionally look at the WordPress Reader to find out what you have been working on. More often than not, I sit on the bus to work and back (now 1.5 hours each way – on my Bummer list!), reading emails with copies of your new posts that are sent to me. I haven’t been getting those emails and have been wondering if anyone else out there is actually blogging anymore!
Imagine my surprise this morning when I checked my settings, after about an hour of reading up on the problem, and found that indeed my settings had changed and I wasn’t getting email notifications of new posts! I am months behind in my reading!
The problem is fixed now, I think …
So back to Thanksgiving – thank you for giving me lots of lovely blog posts to read! Sure I’m on Instagram and like looking at the wonderful photos there but it’s always lovely to read all the details – the good, the bad and the ugly!
And in a traditional Canadian way – the only further curses I can add is to say – STUPID iPad/Wordpress! LOL
And if you’ve missed it, like I have missed so many of your posts in the last month or two (so sad), don’t forget to check out my first Designin’ December 2018 post. Those wonderful generous sponsors are rolling in – more on that later – in the meantime, have you chosen your Designin’ December Original?
I have … this Oscar de la Renta Fall 2018 …
Looking forward to reading up on all your sewing projects! I’ll leave you with one last stolen Google image …
Happy Sewing!
