Creative Weekends #9...A blog redesign

Hello and welcome to Creative Weekends! I am sorry I’m a bit late today, but the day sort of got away from me. I typically do my posts the night before, but last night I was occupied by another project, which I decided to share with you today.
I have been wanting to redesign my other blog, The Art of Living Beautifully, for awhile now, but I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted. After a few stops and starts, it finally all came together last night. Above is my redesigned blog and button. I widened the blog, added another column, redid the header, changed some fonts and pages, etc.  You can see what it looked like before below. Of course, Miss Emily had to be included in the header again.

I hope all of you have had a lovely and creative week. Please link up any type of creative posts ~ home decorating, craft projects, a new design, knitting pattern, your latest creation from your shop, a fabulous photograph of something beautiful, a creative triumph in the kitchen, tutorials, your latest garden masterpiece, etc. Anything that celebrates creativity is welcome. (It doesn’t have to be a new post, either.)
Wishing all of you a lovely weekend...
