Oh my! I have been trying not to get too upset about this as obviously there are far worse things that others contend with in this world, but I am so very sad to write to you today and tell you the sun is setting here on this blog, as Typepad are completely shutting down their blogging service from the end of September this year.
This means that this blog and all of my pictures and writings are just going to disappear on October 1st 2025.
This space has been my home for 19 years and it contains so many memories and happy times for me and I am so sad to leave it, along with all of the connections it has to you and many, many others. I'm also trying not to worry about the impact this will have on my business as all links across the internet from google, Pinterest, articles about my work etc. will no longer link to any content, so a lot less people will be able to find me and my work.
I will be spending September trying to make sure that I have copies of everything, especially the photos as they will not automatically import into my new blog. I will try to upload some of them to the new blog over time but it will be impossible to upload all of the images in over 900 blog posts, so they will be lost if I don't make copies. Hopefully all is not lost though.
I have created a new home for my blog over on wordpress. My new web address is:
https://littlecottonrabbits.com
I plan to continue blogging there at least once a month and I really hope that you will come and join me there.
If you are already subscribed to receive my blog by email then hopefully you don't need to do anything and will continue to receive emails from me, as I hope to be able to import all of my subscribers into wordpress directly after sending this message. If you would like to continue reading my blog and receive it by email then please follow the link above to my new home and enter your email address to sign up for my blog there.
So, hopefully this is not a permanent goodbye, but if I don't see you again I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the love and support, encouragement and kindness that you've sent to me here over the last 19 years.
Wishing you all the very best, with love and many thanks

PS: if you have been kind enough to link to this blog from your own blog or social media I wonder if I could ask a favour and ask you to update your link to my new blog on wordpress? The link is above and I'd really appreciate that, thank you so much
