I updated some things on the blog software last night and was thrilled to see that the spaces are back after punctuation! I don’t know if it had been bothering you, but it had certainly been bothering me. I just had no idea what to do about it. I figured it was a software problem and that at some point an update would fix it. And it did!
For someone who can be just a little bit fanatical about text looking right, it was not the easiest thing to live with, but a little patience and all is well. I don’t know if you’d noticed – probably you hadn’t – but I had been training myself to use as few commas as possible, because,they,always,had,no,space,after,them. See, it doesn’t look very nice, does it?
Can you tell I have nothing much to say at the moment? I have been getting stuck into working on the book itself, as opposed to working on the embroideries for the book. I am so incredibly relieved to have the tablecloth finished. I hadn’t realised quite what a weight it was around my neck!
On the other hand, as I haven’t started the next embroidery yet (or even designed it – I’m mulling some things over) I’m feeling a little lost not having any embroidery to pick up when I have a few minutes to spare. Maybe I’ll have to start the next one very soon…
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.

I’m a shocking over-comma’er myself. I put them where you’d pause for breath when speaking, or to emphasize a clause. I’m quite sure that’s NOT what I was taught in school!
I’d say I’m about the same! Perhaps de-comma-ing wasn’t a bad process for me to go through. Though I am sure I’ll revert!
