As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been working on a new website with Cultivar Designs, and it’s finally done. If you haven’t already, I’d encourage you to click through and take a good look. It represents a much needed change – while the old design served it’s purpose, I was growing out of the tools I had at hand, and it was time to make a change.
So, what has the new layout got going for it? Let me count the ways:
- The layout now scales to any size screen, be it mobile, tablet, computer, or big-screen TV. It should be easier to pull it up on your phone to show your friends, if you want to share the wonderfulness that’s Tinking Turtle.
- I’ve got an easier way to contact me, if you want to ask questions or drop me a note.
- Some of you found the old way of commenting on my site very difficult. I’ve moved over to another comment system that allows you to login in a variety of ways, as well as commenting the “normal way.”
- If you’re interested in having Finishing done, the new form is a little more responsive, and allows me, on the back end, to get in touch with you faster.
- The site reflects the way Tinking Turtle is now – a little older, a little wiser, but still full of fun energy and silly humor.
Much of the credit for the great website is due to Cultivar, and I’ll be talking a little bit more about the experience of working with them next week.
On another note, tomorrow I’ll be heading off to TNNA. This year will be my second year, and it’s quite a start to realize how much more relaxed I am this year than last one. For one, I’m packing this evening instead of say, three days ago. For another, this time around I’m much more willing to let things flow as they will. I’m looking forward to the event – it’s wonderful to be around people who “speak your language.”
And when I come back, I’ll have lots of pictures to share – both from my travels last week, and my travels this weekend! I might even have some stitching things to share – so stay tuned!
As a last note, if you haven’t already, now’s a great time to signup for my newsletter, to keep up-to-date with everything. You see the new button to the right? You should click on it.

Thanks! The trip was great (although getting home was another story). I’m sure I’ll keep you hopping in the next few weeks as I figure out tweeks to the site.
