Janet above said she had problems reading the white font so I went in to see if I could change that but the text disappeared as only white works on a purple background, so I had to change the background colour. I'll give it a day or two and will probably go back because it feels "me" that way. <br />I'm sure TP would love to have you playing gooseberry in the pictures, but think I'd be the one who felt the gooseberry! <br />Thanks for making me feel good about owning the sweater dress. Like it! Seems a shame to cut up a blanket. Last year's Zara blanket scarf ended up as a sofa throw. I may be a bit Emperor's new clothes here but just gonna say, I'm thinking they just don't work as scarves. <br />Off to your site for the much-anticipated post! Yipppeeeee!!!

Janet above said she had problems reading me and I started playing around and now have a lavender blog with black font. Think I may change it back as it doesn't seem "me", it's not my jam. Good luck with your blog changes, must admit I got a bit lost trying to understand what everything meant. Kellyann's now said she sliced hers in half too.

I really like the outfit worn with the long East cardigan and the large checked scarf. It screams 'winter, I'm ready for you'. Looking at the lunch photos and the pressies, one person springs to mind and I might have even recognised the crossed arms at the table...our lovely JK? Thank you for the positive notes on Daddy's home 2.

On my screen it is now lavender. Listen sista, your format works for you so keep it. This girl here? Yeah, hers was a bloody mess (gettin my British speak on) and definitely need some revamping.<br />So, the afternoon movie date with TP sounds like fun. Wish I could have joined you, wouldn't that be great to have a 3rd wheel? Ha! I do want to see that movie though, thanks for the recommendation.<br />Woman you OWN the sweater dress! Good thing you have more than one because you wear them so well. My thoughts on the blanket scarf? Hmmm I cut mine in half because it was too much fabric and I looked like I was wearing a bed spread. Ridiculous. I say cut it in half, you are too petite for all that fabric. You can use the other half for a picnic with TP!<br />The day is finally here my friend, you can see a bit of the kitchen!!!!<br />xoxo,<br />KellyannKellyann Rohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320531991490519576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-3822660591474871682017-12-07T08:45:47.554+00:002017-12-07T08:45:47.554+00:00Thanks so much, Janet, so glad you enjoy the blog....Thanks so much, Janet, so glad you enjoy the blog. I'll try to find a good video to share on the blanket scarf challenge. <br />Now, I hear ya, Janet, and have changed the font colour but had to put it on a lighter colour. I can't work out how to change the titles of the threads on the side bar, so I'm going to have to post a mayday message for that. Weirdly, although I struggle with white font on dark usually, I found it easy to read on my blog. Hope this tweak works for you. Lets see how others cope with it!<br />Hugs, x thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-16977782790511014942017-12-07T06:57:41.472+00:002017-12-07T06:57:41.472+00:00You look great in that dress.

Sweater dresses are you jam and that's great. Wear what you love! (Seems to be a theme I've got going here) I've seen where one blogger recommends cutting the scarf in half to make it more manageable. 👍🏼 Happy Wednesday Mary!

I have a couple, but I've yet to wear them in public because I just don't think I can tie them up properly. If you come across a good video, please share. One thing I'd like to mention is that I find it difficult to read white printing on a dark background. Just some feedback in case you decide to make any changes to your blog.
