A little blog with some big ideas...

Ta da! Make, Do & Send has a new look, what do you think?


I have several secret projects on the go relating to the blog and this redesign was top of the to-do list. I am coming up for my one year blog anniversary so it seemed a good time to reassess things round here and have a bit of a spring clean. I wanted to give the blog a clean more grown up feel that was easy to navigate which I hope I have achieved here. I really do hope you like it :)


There are a few more updates to the blog which I will introduce over the next few months but one new feature that I have added is the Guest Book.  A few people have admitted to secretly lurking on Make, Do & Send reading all the posts but never commenting. This is fine as we all dart around blog land and don't always have time to post comments but if you don't comment I cant find your wonderful blogs and follow you back. The Guest Book is therefore a place for you to drop by just once and introduce yourself. Hopefully it will turn into a great resource full of links to all your fabulous blogs for me and everyone else to enjoy. Chances are if you like Make, Do & Send me and my readers will like your blog too so stop by and let us know a little about you and your blog :)


I have been thinking alot about where the blog is headed and how I can improve things for you, my lovely, lovely readers so if you have any feedback for me regarding the blog I'd love to hear from you so why not leave a comment or drop me an email?  


Have a great day friends x



I couldn't make it all about me today so here is a lovely craft inspired illustration by Alyssa Nassner that I found on Twig & Thistle. I'd love to have this hanging next to my sewing machine and Im sure you would too. Its just perfect isnt it.
