BLOGGERS NEW HTML INTERFACE - EDITOR

HELP I NEED SOMEBODY!!!

This popped up when I needed to make some changes into Bloggers new HTML interface.

At first I was upset because I was not able to find what I was looking for :
MY OLD HTML INTERFACE!!!!!

The new interface is now looking like this:

Because I also have my own website I'm not completely unknown with HTML codes.

It took me a little while before I found out where Blogger's "old interface" was hidden.

And it's pretty easy to find!

WARNING : 

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR FIRST TEMPLATE BEFORE CHANGING INTO A NEW ONE!!!

Go to your HTML page > TEMPLATE > HTML >

Find the line which I marked in the red circle.

In my blog it's located at nr. 7. Your's may be at a different line.

All that you gotta do is to click on the little black triangular to expand the new HTML editor.

And tadaaaaaaaaaaa......

The "old interface" pops up again

and you can edit & make changes the way that you were used to do.

I hope this helps and will save you time to look for it.

STUDIO UPDATE: 
I'm still working on my new piece.
Do I dare to say : " Perhaps my best creation ever ? ''
Yep, I think I do.

Do you know this problem: trying to find THE MOST suitable lace or piece of ribbon? When you have so many in your stash, it can be a real crime!!! :)

It's becoming a very exclusive piece and I enjoy every minute of bringing it more and more to life. And I'm starting to really attatch to this piece. Perhaps more than I want....

Updates will follow......in my next post!

Meanwhile for those who live north of the equator: ENJOY YOUR SPRING TIME!!!

Our pear tree blossom

I know I do, the fibrant blossom colors, the delicious sweet spring scents especially after rain.

Beautiful white Fritillaria meleagris. They are becoming increasingly rare in the Dutch "wilderness". I'm happy to have them in my own garden.

 I thoroughly enjoy this time of year!


PS: I added a button on my blog. 

On this page you can articles about me and my work that have appeared in various media.

Sometimes little things can bring the greatest joy ♥

A lot of things passed since my previous post.

I'm not neglecting my blog, it's just a matter of beeing busy with other things.

First of all: ahhhhh we have a LEAK in our BIG pond so we decided to redo a part our garden.

This means a lot of work and a lot of plants which I wanna keep, like my beautiful romatic roses, now have a new spot in my garden.

Pooh, it seemed as if they did not want another spot.

So I told them to behave brave and that I made up my mind....!!!

So the garden is all done (for now) ...►

the BIG job needs to be done: close the whole PIT and build a new terrace......

......and again a new pond but not so large and especially for birds & frogs, no more fish!!

They're yet again consumed by nasty herons!!!

I'm also pretty busy in my studio. New pieces were designed and created.
 I told you in my previous post that I picked up my knitting needles again and started to figure out a new knitting pattern:
cast on, insert, knit stitches together, increase stitches etc.
You probably remember this picture from my previous post.

These knitted parts should turn into a tiny little bunny.

SO I MANAGED AND MY MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED!!!

 And now I I'm so happy to present to you the final result:

Here she is: the "unedited" version of the bunny.

She's approx. 10 cm - approx. 4 inches: ALL INCLUSIVE!!!

But as always...she insisted to go the make-up studio.

.....allez HOP HOP.....

.....here we go.....

#$(&#&#(*@#))@#%$*&%&@&((@*&#&&$#&*#(@_##&

TADAAAAAAAAAAAA and here is the "edited" re-new-and-old-born-bunny-version:

I for sure LIKE here and I hope you do to.

Have a happy weekend, the sun in shining in Holland and I'm gonna enjoy this weekend!

Happy Easter - Христос воскрес - Vrolijk Pasen - Fröhliche Ostern - Joyeux Pâques

I would like to wish everyone a very:

 These two are one of my latest creations.

The one left is Mini-Fleur. I - dramatically- reduced the pattern of her larger sister Fleur.

Mini Fleur - or maybe I should call her Fleurette -  is now 10½  cm - 4.1 inches tall.

She's not finished yet...the poor thing is undressed and I'm knitting a "petite" dress for her.

Therefore I'm making a new knitting pattern which is always a bit of
ABACADABRA

....what's in the pen....hihihi....

 So I myself do NOT know at how the result will turn out.
So you're not the only ones who will be curious :o)

This - ahum - "MESS" below is supposed to be a little knitted bunny.   

I know I know......abacadabra too, isn't it.

I even can't deny it myself  LOL.

 

You must have a very imaginative mind to see the "LIL BUN".

But I see one.....just take a good look!!!

And here is the new COLLECTION on which I'm working at the moment.

 ...these little INI-MINI'S are not completed yet...

The one on the right is part of the new piece, that's for sure!
The others: no idea - yet - : single sets, part of sets.......IREALLYDUNNOW yet.
Time will tell me.....
There is one thing for sure: this past couple of weeks here at the Milly Me Studio - because of all the new designs - have been hectic to put it simply.
 There is an idea in my mind,
but my mind doesn't stop getting new ideas while working on a new design :o)
It's my way of working. I've said it before: it drives me nuts sometimes!
 So I need a few more weeks to complete the whole set.
But so far this TRIO turned out well
and I've fallen in ♥ with those little bundles of sweetness. 
What about you....???

Happy Easter Everyone  

ps: eet niet teveel chocolade eitjes, dat doe ik ook niet .... :o)

Back from Wiesbaden (Germany)

Sometimes you need to break out especially when Mr. Winter isn't going to move one single bit to let Mrs. Spring in. I don't know how you feel, but I'm fed up with it.

A week ago I attented the international " TEDDY BÄR WELT " in Wiesbaden (Germany).

It's without a doubt one of the best teddy bear shows.

On Saturday the weather was fine (there was snow and sleet prodicted!) and there was a queue waiting for the doors to open. 

It was booming business as always...

 ....and lots to see....

...and lots to buy...

These magnificant little felted bears are made by Gabrielè from unPetitOurs.

Ian Pout from Teddy Bears of Witney showed his collection of well hugged bears.

I'm not sure what his name is, but I'm sure he is made by Forget-me-Not Bears.

Left: ???? I'm sorry don't know his name...  

Right: DULCIE. 

The original Dulcie was bought in 1994 by Janice, one of the shops staff members. Dulcie was a primitive and love-worn French teddy bear from circa 1910-20.

Janice chirstened her "Dulcie" and since then her new home is in Witney.

Sometimes you see surprising things like these cute cat pillows & scarf which are made by

Antonia Schantz.

 hihi...I ♥ these fluffy cuties.

And not only bears found new homes...also did these chocolates below!!!

Thank you Olga....they were super yummie!!!

I was very lucky that I didn't want to attend the show on Sunday.

When we opened our windows the world outside was covered with a white blanket.

Pfff....in this time of year it should at least be bit warmer & sunnier then this.

I've seen enough show this winter and I want some sunshine on my face.

But at least one member of our family enjoyed the hills covered in snow.

And that my fluffy friend Ymke....she just loves to ran up & down the hills to search for:

→ MICE ←

She can hear them underneath the snow and boy those mice were pretty lucky that she didn't catch any of them. She can snap them out of nowhere. 

But not this time....clever mice and poor dog...he he he.

We stayed the whole week in Germany: we fully reset our minds, our batteries are recharged!!!

So to Germany we say DANKESCHÖN and:

See ya in 2014.
