As someone who refashions and sews in order to save money this was a huge disappointment to me as well. I liked the sense of community and camaraderie that existed, as most of us were on tight budgets and gained loads of inspiration and encouragement from each other. <br /><br />I stated a new, free blog for such purposes, since WR isn't going to remain in the same format anymore. <br /><br />http://thethriftygarderobe.blogspot.com<br /><br />Good luck, and happy sewing,<br /><br />NinjaEemaEema-lehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469662545641543683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174816378602212753.post-8244546050503710472010-04-14T14:55:08.384-04:002010-04-14T14:55:08.384-04:00I'm feeling much the same as you, but you say ...I'm feeling much the same as you, but you say it so much better! I have loved the site. I so appreciate what Nikki started, and that it involves effort on her part and that wanting to benefit from that time and effort is not unreasonable. But at the same time a big part of why I do the things that attract me to the site is avoiding spending money. 20 dollars a month is more than my whole clothing budget a month. If it is possible with the new setup I will just watch the site for a while and feel things out but I probably won't be able to subscribe.rmlrhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677254691906862530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174816378602212753.post-33187402277957603652010-04-13T10:53:29.126-04:002010-04-13T10:53:29.126-04:00First of all: well done for the positive change in...First of all: well done for the positive change in your life! You can say that is was due to WR, but really you should take the credit for that yourself.<br />I agree with you on your thoughts of the site. I have only recently discovered WR and i LOVE it. What I like about it the most appears to be the very thing that Nikki is proposing to change. The survey she posted was a good step for getting feedback from her readers, but shouldn't the survey have been posted before deciding on a new format and price scheme? I will probably not be joining the new site, I feel the price is too steep for our family, and am not sure if it worth if for what i can get out of it.<br />So ya, I am bummed too.Farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03475614984645650805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174816378602212753.post-72787771546199407532010-04-12T16:32:02.433-04:002010-04-12T16:32:02.433-04:00I've never heard of this site before but was c...I've never heard of this site before but was curious when I read your post. I went and looked at it , and read quite a few of the posts .. and the comment ... and the responses of Nikki to the comments. As a total outsider, without a vested interest, my 2 cents would be that she's taking a too emotional approach to something that has to be rationally considered in the interest of all parties concerned. I would be running away as fast as I can from a place that gets so highly emotionally charged - the atmosphere and the tone of the contributions will most certainly fall victim to big egos. The good news is - the world/ internet is a big, big place and there is so much other sources and places to be.Blogless mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197604186807076554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174816378602212753.post-38755414670890469512010-04-12T15:50:23.038-04:002010-04-12T15:50:23.038-04:00That's kinda how I feel about it all.

Til then I'm madly visiting everyone's blogs and planning on introducing myself and staying in touch. I love that sense of community that you get there.Affi'eniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250993277535319499noreply@blogger.com
