The universe is sending me challenges lately. The newest is that as of Sept 30 2025 (yes this month), my whole website will be gone. The company I’ve been with for 22 years is closing. There is no option to move to another platform with them.
Almost all of my photos and PDFs are on their platform and they do NOT come with the download of the website. This is a big problem.
What does this mean?
It means my website will be gone. You can try accessing things via the internet archive website, but the photos and PDFs may not be there. (links below)
What will I do going forward?
- I have currently gone to a once a week video as I’m helping my mom navigate a difficult time.
- I will NOT be recreating 22 years of articles, tutorials, and project pages
- If you are looking for an older project of mine, go to the internet archive. Due the volume of items I created over the 25 years, I will not be sending you things you want.
- Also please never GIVE my patterns to others. I still own the copyrights to ALL my patterns and I may eventually publish them. Just not right now. That means right now they are not published and you will just need to find another project to do. Just like a cereal that is no longer produced, you can not get that cereal anymore. It is gone. Nobody can give you a COPY of that cereal. Does this make sense? Please respect my copyrights.
- There are about 550,000 of you wonderful friends on multiple platforms that follow my adventures and I’m grateful to each of you amazing people! Thank you so much!! I look forward to chatting with you on my videos and seeing your creations in my online communities. HUGS!!
