The Switch

So I've been a little bit busy today, making the most of my Sunday to start switching things over to 'Mason Bee'. Some of you may already be aware of the changes, as I mentioned on Facebook that it was part of my list of things to do today.

It’s surprising, but not at the same time, just how many things I have to change:

• -       Blog
• -       Etsy
• -       Flickr
• -       Tumblr
• -       Facebook
• -       Twitter

To name but a few, and I swear I will probably have forgotten something.

The biggest change I’ve done is the new website, the old domain www.lamdesigns.co.uk is still active but now redirects to the new site www.masonbee.co.uk. I hope you take a moment to look at it, and if you’re one of the lovely people that have me listed on your site, can kindly change it to the new domain I would be eternally grateful.

The other changes, so far, are as follows:

Twitter: @themasonbee

Blog: www.themasonbee.blogspot.co.uk

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themasonbee

Flickr: At the moment stays as lamdesigns, as I am unable to change it, in time I will consider creating a new account, but as I need to transfer photographs I probably won’t at this point in time. My subscription for the current account ends in July.

Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/themasonbee

I have a list of other bits to work through, DeviantArt, tumblr and so forth. You will note where I cannot obtain the exact name I have simply added ‘the’ at the beginning. Simple but does the job nicely.  

Going back to the website you will find that this is where you will find my free patterns, and rather excitingly I have a new pattern on there for you to download too. And perhaps now is a good reminder about the competition, I hope you’re going to enter!

What else to do, well aside from the above bits and pieces?

Branding – is in hand, searching around getting quotes from people to do it for me.

Patterns – I need to change the name on the pdf’s, annoyingly can’t do that on my computer at present, so I will sort that out during the week.

So many other bits to do that I need to spend some time sitting down and checking, once all those bits are sorted then I can look to getting on with the bigger picture stuff, I have a book to read and chapters to work through.

But I knew it wasn’t going to be quick or easy, moving things over to a completely new name/brand. I always did love a challenge.
