Iron Bracelet Winner and a Little Blog Update

The winner of the bracelet for my sixth blogiversary is Nana! Hurrah! I'll hand deliver it next week!

I've also did a few little blog updates. If you are viewing this post in your email or an aggregator pop on over to millyandtilly.com to check out the changes!

I've got a new accordion menu that I'm very excited about! But I'm still trying to figure out how to auto populate my gallery pages; I'm very behind on updating the masks and tutorials galleries!

Blog Makeover!

I finally finished the blog redesign! Here are the major changes: a sticky navigation bar with links to pages within the blog, social media links, and subscription links; a notification section to announce or remind you of giveaways, upcoming events, or anything else I want; and a footer with new badges for pages within the blog (this is really only visable on individual posts and pages). I also added endless scroll so you can keep reading and reading and reading!

PS. Check out the new 404 page!
PSS. I'm still trying to get the highlight pages to auto populate because I always forget to update them, but HTML & CSS are not my friends and I can't figure it out!

About Page

The full blog makeover has been pushed back to next week. As part of the overall update I have been adding new pages and updating the existing pages. Today I am sharing a new page! My About Page!

Here you can read a little about my crafting history and this blog's history. You'll learn fun facts, like where I worked in college and where this blog got its name. I even added a photo of myself! Go on and read it! About Milly and Tilly and Kelly.

Craft Book Club Page

As part of my blog update I'm slowly fixing/adding new pages. Today I'm sharing the update for the Craft Book Club Page!

Craft Book Club is a book club where we make things inspired by the book we are reading. Check out the Craft Book Club Page to learn more!

The current book is Anna Karenina and I just started listening to the audiobook yesterday!

Loom Knitting Resource Page

I'm in the process of updating my blog; it is going to get a face lift next week! The first bit of the update I am sharing with you is a new page! I have a lot of traffic coming to my blog because of my loom knitting patterns so I decided to add a section of loom knitting resources!



This new page has a section where I talk a little bit about when I started loom knitting and how I began making loom knitting patterns. I also link to some of my favorite sites with loom knitting instruction. Go check it out! Loom Knitting Resources Page.

My blog had a makeover! In addition to the new header I shared last week, the sidebar has been updated and now has links to pages showcasing the tutorials, loom knitting patterns, masks, and other free printables I have created!

I am working on updating my blog. Here is a header I put together last night:

What do you think? Grey and neon is my new favorite thing.

You may also notice a little bit of remodeling around here... I moved the header to the left and the sidebar up a bit. Another change: the site is now officially www.millyandtilly.com. Hurray for the first year!
