Is This Thing On?

 

Long (long) time, no blog posts.  It's been all Instagram all the time for several years now, but with everything going on with Meta - deeply unsatisfactory algorithms and app functions, removal of any even pretense of fact checking or protection of vulnerable people - I'm wanting to step away a little bit. Maybe we'll save IG for the reels it really wants me to make. Maybe Facebook doesn't need all my photographs, they can go here instead. 

First up: The name changed! This was "Glanalaw" for a long time but I wanted to have continuity between my other social media and my (mostly defunct) Etsy shop. So we are Somewhen Designs here as well. If you're a reader from the old days, you'll want to update your bookmarks. Otherwise, welcome!

On that note, a (re)introduction. My name is Gillian, I reside in Ohio with my husband and a multitude of cats. Mostly you'll see posts about knitting, sewing, my garden, and things I've baked, but my interests and hobbies are legion so I make no promises to restrict my subject matter. I occasionally give off cosy cottagecore/homesteader vibes but rest assured I am not trying to lure you into a cult! Everyone is welcome here and encouraged to comment as long as civility is maintained - no mean comments or personal attacks. 

Follow along to see if I actually manage to stick with this!
