Five Lessons Learned This Week



Etsy Shopper Banner

This past week has been a test of trial, error, and strength. For someone who used a 10 year old desk top computer up until 6 months ago, I can proudly say "I'm a survivor" of Etsy Shop Set Up and Blogging. I may have a few more gray hairs to pluck but  my computer lingo, and photographic knowledge has increased ten fold. My computer literate sons would be proud of their mom!

The Top Five Lessons Learned This Week

1. You are never to old to learn "new" tricks, Just dive in!

2. Lean on your friends and fellow bloggers, they are more than willing to help you.

 (Thank you fellow blogger Margo, check her out at  http://robolady.blogspot.com/ )

3. Step away from the computer when you feel like you're drowning, (like the song says it's a new dawn, it's a new day)

4. Pat yourself on the back when you "do good"!

5. Creating and sewing is still at the top of my list of fun things to do!!

Test out my newly learned computer skills. Click on an item on the side bar to my Remixed Stitches Etsy Shop. Hopefully, it will send you there (let me know if it doesn't). There you can check out all the fun items that I have been busy creating and sewing. If you like what you see, make me a favorite.  As always, I am open to comments and suggestions to help me in my journey of online blogging and selling. Next week I think it's time to get back into the sewing room and do a "How To Project".  What do you think? Until then......

Sew Happy,

Creative Chaos

Am I crazy??  Here I am still trying to learn the ropes of blogging, and now I'm off, trying to set up an Etsy shop to showcase and sell all those great ideas swimming around in my head. I am learning that Blogger has made it way easier for those of us who are not computer literate. Up until 6 months ago, we were still on dial up (one of the minuses for living in the country) so all this computing takes awhile to learn.  Etsy is like trying to learn a foreign language in five days. I am open to any help, suggestions, or tricks that will make my journey into blogging and Etsy easier. Please feel free to leave those tricks, suggestions, or tips in the comment section. They will be greatly appreciated! In the meantime you can get an idea of what my sewing studio looks like right now (see photo above). What you see are some key elements for those great ideas that are being sewn while I try to set up shop, try to blog and try to have a life! WHEW!! My DBH is just shaking his head and holding on to his recliner. (see profile)

Sew Happy and Help!
