What Do You Think? ..

Hello my dear friends,

did you notice something different? ... Of course you have!

Since a little while now I had wanted to 'declutter' and simplify Todolwen's look. I already lost my 'baby' once before so instead of doing it myself, I had the lovely Karen Valentine do it for me and I love the new cleaner look. I honestly think that Todolwen was looking a little too busy in the end for me. The background as beautiful as it was, took away from things that were posted at times but now everything is very visible right away. So ... what do you think of the new cleaner look? 

Not only has my blog being simplified, decluttered and given a clean look but now my studio is next in line for this makeover. My shelves are full of creations that I have made over the years and there is not more space for new ones. It is going to be a little hard and a small struggle letting things go but it has to be done. Therefore I am going to be listing items in my Etsy shop soon so they will find new homes to go to and bring a smile to someones face and heart like they did to me and mine. I will let you know once I have started to list items in my Etsy shop.

A lilttle reminder  ...

Thank you for much for taking the time to visit me here at Todolwen. I really love it when you stop by and it so nice to hear from you as well.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.

  7. Karen: Love the new look, of course I did like the old look also.
    I am excited to see what you post on Etsy, I love your work.
    I have 12 bird feeders in our yard, of course that includes two Humming Bird feeders and two suet feeders.
    Love the bird pictures, we are truly blessed to be able to see and hear them.

  9. Personally I liked the old look better. I understand the need to declutter and how freeing that is mentally. I think the white background is a little to stark and glarey (if that is a word) maybe a cream or softer white if that is possible. I love your blog and all you create but you asked so just thought I would give my opinion. Have a creative day!!!

  10. Actually I don't know what has changed except it doesn't feel as soft. But no matter I won't miss a post! I'm still making your paper feathers!

  12. I like the new look Karen - although quite truthfully I can't remember what it looked like before. I know it was pretty though! Wonderful birdie pictures - thank you.
