Thank you.
Oh, it’s been a crazy few
days. Crazy of the good, but, still very crazy variety. I set out to do some
straightening up of this space that we share here and well one thing lead to
another and before long this little site of ours was looking a whole lot like
something Picasso might throw together, a bit distorted, ya know?
Oh, you guys it was awful, not
Picasso, just the rearranging of things I had done here.
And I was finding myself, like
all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, surrounded by bits of broken
Humpties and feeling awfully dumpty.
So, once I realized I could never
put back together again what once was, well, I also realized that beneath the
layers was a clean canvas. A fresh start of sorts. A space to hold
on to the prettiest of pieces and a really good excuse to let go of much.
Here it is you guys. A new
little design for our beloved space. I hope you’ll love it too, even if
it takes a minute or two to get used to.
And also at the risk of wearing
out the words...
You, being here, with me, is the
very biggest, of
Very big deals.
Thank You.

ReplyDeleteOh Michelle, thank you so much. For your aloha. For your being here.
ReplyDeleteThese past days, oh my goodness you have no idea, or maybe you know just what it feels like to tug, against your better judgement, at a little annoyingly loose thread and to then watch the whole thing unravel...
Wow! I really LOVE your new site. I haven't been on in a while, like I told you, I'm still confused and need Blog lessons! Looks great, looks clean and sleek. Great job Nicole!!

ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you're here.
DeleteGirl- you're just do talented. I was reading the mobile version and so was like- I can't see the changes, but I know they're there! Gah! Until I changed to the web view. So fresh, crisp and clean and although different than what I'd gotten used to - what was patently local sugar aka Nicole the new one is still do you!
ReplyDeleteWe've actually been playing with rearranging things over at ladies holiday. It certainly does have its Picasso
Moments- "what have I done?!??"
Oh...made art.
Aloha!

Oh, Deirdre,
DeleteI thought of ya over the weekend and wondered if you'd hate it. I'm growing to like it. I like clean and it's, well clean. And once upon a time I worked in an art gallery-- and this sits well with that part of me.-- but geesh the pains of change. =)
And, also, I love this "What have I done?!??... Oh... made art."
I felt the same way when I changed themes on my blog! Yours looks so nice :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Kendra-- I know you know. You just know. Thanks for that. =)
DeleteLOVE the way your blog looks. Still clean and easy to navigate, loving the new header and the "about me" sidebar text. Very cool, very mellow and pretty just like you!!
ReplyDeleteI know you know it means the world to me Jean-- thanks for being here. xo
DeleteBeautifully written! Wonderfully said. So glad you stopped by to say hi today. I'm happily following you along and taking in all of your awesome posts :-)

Hi Nicole, I found you on the Blog Hop. I didn't know what your other design looked like but I love this one. Very clean and sleek looking. And I love your writing, you're very talented. I changed my header recently and I feel so much happier. It feels more like "me" now. Hope that's how you feel. My name's Leslie from Gwen Moss blog.
ReplyDeleteAloha Leslie,
DeleteI was so relieved to have made the changes although growing pains are, well, sometimes painful. Thanks so much for stopping by I really love that you took the time to comment.
Aloha
You're a beautiful writer and I love the thank you to your readers.
