Griping about Google & some Crafty Stuff

A few years ago I changed my blog address from Slikstitches.blogspot.com to Slikstitches.com.  I did it on a whim, and if I could turn back time I would not have done it!

At first my blog vanished for a while, then last year I had problems paying my renewal fee ( I blogged about it here).  I eventually discovered I had to log into wallet.google, and update my credit card information, so when I got this year's renewal email I checked on the above post and checked my credit card details and sat back smugly,

BUT - this time that wasn't the right place to update the card info - it seems they sometime look somewhere else!  It's taken me a month, but I've finally sussed it - I have to log on here using an email address I never use - I don't even know how I can use it! (B@SS.COM), using a password that I haven't used for years (SS) and change a different saved credit card option. [Billings/Domain Registration / Access Billing Ac]

So now I have it saved here ready for getting hopelessly lost next year!


But because no blog post in compete without a photo or two . . .

Jackie's My Small World is looking awesome

I embroidered a blanket for my Great Aunt, and mum has delivered it

Lesley at Crafty Church embroidered this for her sister

And my God Daughter created and machine stitched this for a friend

Oh, and Lisa received her Christmas Quilt

That'll be FOUR layers now on her bed - a bit like the princess and the pea!

  1. knock on wood here -- I never switched form Blogspot to anything. Everyone, it seems was moving to wordpress or ?
    A year or so into the blog, google contacted me and said I used up too much photo space. Different options - still in MB's in those days so I paid the cheapest option $ 5 for (I can't recall how many - 20mb?) and thought, well this is gonna get expensive.
    I have never been contacted again, nor would I ever remember how to get there again. Knock on wood and good on you for putting your memory into the blog!

  3. I always have trouble remembering my login for paying my domain renewal too, it's always an old email or password I don't use! Thankfully my hosting is looked after by a very reliable IT bloke so I just wait for the invoice to come in :)

  6. Google garbage, not amusing. There's something far more frustrating than average frustration about online or computer stuff that doesn't go right...I think! The sewing stuff is lovely- especially the embroidered 'word' sewing machine! Love the colours in the small world quilt.

  7. Well done on getting it all sorted!
    Love Jackie's MSW - I was tempted to start this along with the other half of the world (!) but decided that it would be one step too far at the moment!
