Not much to report today. I am pretty busy trying to complete my Christmas sewing projects and shop for the things I am not making. I think I got a little bit carried away with the list of things I am making and that has started to consume all my time. I wore this outfit to the mall today to do some shopping. I didn't come back with too much so another trip will probably be in order some time in the future.

I forgot to mention the reason I didn't post last Friday was because we went to see Mother Mother again! I intended to do the pictures and post before we left for the concert but time got away from me and  I didn't get a chance to do it so I apologize. The concert was really good though, so totally worth it. I didn't bring my camera so I didn't get any pictures to share with you this time around, but if you are interested in seeing some from the last show you can check those out here. 

In case you missed the little post bout it I have opened up some advertising spots. If you are interested in purchasing/swapping a spot head over to the Sponsor tab for more information. 

Sponsorship

This is my Serious Business face, which Colin is kind of ruining but it still works.

So you may have noticed that there is now a Sponsor tab up at the top of the page next to the About Me section. I am officially open for business aka advertising, which is really exciting! I am totally up for ad swapping, as long as you run my ad I will run yours. If you want to know more about advertising options click on the Sponsor tab and check it out!

New Directions

I have been thinking this over for a while and I think it is time to expand this blog a bit. Working up to the new year I am going to start adding in some new features. I feel like I have more than just outfit posts to offer and I wanted to make this blog a bit more entertaining and draw in some new readers.

First of all I am going to be opening up advertising and sponsor options. I have been looking into using Passionfruit ads, I have heard great things from other bloggers who use their services. They have an option for doing ad swaps, which I plan on utilizing, as well as selling advertising spots which I will also do. I am hoping to be able to ad swap with a few of my favourite bloggers in order to get things moving.
     

I have been thinking about adding a weekly/bi-weekly nail feature. I mentioned before that I have been really getting into doing my nails recently and I have been keeping up with that so it seems logical to add some nail posts in.

Design from this post

Sewing is a major part of my life and I want to be able to share that with my blog readers. I think it would be really neat to have a monthly "Sew Along" feature. I will choose a pattern out that anyone could have access too and then work my way through it in the month with some update posts along the way. If people are interested in working on the same pattern with me they can e-mail me and let me know and I will be open to answering questions if they have any problems. I don't always work from patterns so I might also get into some draping tutorials or maybe do a few posts about good sources for learning the basics. Intermingled with this will be some craft oriented posts as well. I have a few in the works and they could be more of a "Craft Along" than sewing. It might be a one month sewing one month craft, we'll see how it pans out.

Here are some sneak peeks of projects:

Dress A is a planned project

I'll be sharing this soon!

I also want to try and do some more photography posts. I have been neglecting that a bit recently and it is sad. There are a lot of nice spots around Hamilton and it would be great to go and capture those and share them with you. I have some pictures from trips and the like that would be nice to put on here too.

Garden Eel at Kew Gardens

That's about it for right now. This list is kind of a motivational prompt for me to get out and do things too. If it is on here that means I have to actually try and accomplish it right?
