Welcome to the new home for Teacups in the Garden!
The HSLDA Online Academy discount code has been taken down only because HSLDA has recently told me that there are bugs in that particular coding, so they are creating a new way for me to promote their courses. Once they alert me to that I will post the details!
Meanwhile, I’m updating my blog. Have you noticed? Ha! The short story is that yet another blogging platform corrupted my blog. All my friends said, create a self-hosted site! So here I am!
I’m slowly uploading old posts that are being refreshed by better photography, newer links, and epilogues, for updated information.
Also this means I can finally reveal much of the oft requested homeschool curriculum I wrote for ourselves throughout our homeschool journey, from K-12.
At the time I was flying by the seat of my pants to amend a history curriculum I had purchased, that was taking us in the opposite direction than I thought they were going to take us.
Many of those ideas have cluttered up in my head, with a few details written here and there. I’m now trying to consolidate all of that, and finally share that story.
For the long story:
My blog journey has taken me on travels far and wide on the internet:
2007-My blog debuts on Homeschool Blogger on July 9, 2007, where I quickly made new friends and learned html coding to design my blog
2010-Homeschool Blogger suddenly moves to WordPress where all of the pretty stuff had disappeared. I had to redesign everything, then weird coding errors appeared on the front end of all my blogposts, and ads were added by the platform.
2013-Homeschool Blogger moves to yet another platform which would be so private, none of the public would ever see it, so I move my blog to Blogspot.
2013-Photobucket changed the terms of service, which effectively made my photos impossible to see until I upgraded my plan. Seeing that Flickr had better options, I moved to Flickr.
2020-Blogspot suddenly removes all support and most abilities.
Many of my friends recommended that I move to a self-hosted blog where the rug wouldn’t be pulled out from under me.
Although doing that has opened the door to opportunity, it has also opened the door to a million and one questions about how exactly all this works. Starting from ground zero has been challenging, but a great learning experience.
Since I could never find my old pictures, I’ve been busy with the very time consuming but rewarding process of deleting the bad ones and organizing them with efficient labeling.
Then I industriously labored through doing a copy/paste of all the old blog posts at the old defunct platform to my hard drive.
Now that that is complete, I can focus entirely on this new website where I’m planning many new adventures!
Stay tuned as I refresh old blog posts to create a fresh new experience with the same theme of my love of the 18th century which inspires everything we do because of lessons learned of what to do and what not to do. The new look will have a greater emphasis on vintage and historical sewing.
I can’t wait to share with everyone all the sewing I’ve been doing…and my brand new sewing room which has been another work in progress. The contractor has been busy with that while I’ve been plugging away at updating this blog!
Meanwhile I can be contacted at lahbluebonnet@gmail.com
