Okay, so here's a proper post to celebrate, instead of it tagged onto the end of my update.
Birdie Stitching is up! Admittedly, it's on a temporary domain as I cannot afford a hosting and the cost of a new one. But it is up, running in beta, and I am accepting requests submitted through the application form. I am in the process of transferring patterns from DA over.
Rather than just put my patterns in storage, making it hard for people who are working on something to find, I'm just putting the small versions up, and linking to Birdie Stitching for the best quality ones
Hope this makes the transition easier for everyone.
