I decided to start this year with a new skin and a slightly different organization for my blog. Cordonnier mal chauss\u00e9 <\/i>we say in French (poorly shod shoemaker): I spend so much time working on other people\u2019s websites<\/a> that I didn\u2019t feel the urge to spend my evenings modifying mine. But at the same time, it hurt my eyes every time I looked at it. Now it\u2019s almost done; it just needs a few more tweaks. I hope you\u2019ll feel comfortable in this new ride!<\/p>\n

The changes are not radically different; I quite like the conventional navigation of this type of blog, but I wanted something that had a bit more “space”. A good category cleanup was also on my to do list, plus a new page “Work<\/a>” to keep track of what I consider important steps in my creation process.<\/p>\n

Apart from programming, when I did sit down at the drawing table, it was to experiment with color and to play around with recycled bits that have been waiting in a box with other leftovers. I had planned to use the leaves in a collage for the DIY iHanna’s postcard swap<\/a>, but they didn’t fit in. I haven’t found exactly what to do with these, but it was fun to arrange them in various montages.<\/p>\n

I know it’s a bit late for this, but I wish you a fantastic 2014! I hope this year will be fulfilling and inspiring.<\/p>\n
