My New Pattern by Etsy Website

I know I haven't been around in a while.  I have been busy, busy, busy.  My new Wordpress blog is up and running, and I have 65 followers there already.  I will upgrade that blog when I reach 100 followers.  It is a health coach blog.  I am not a certified health coach, but I am a licensed nurse, and everyone knows nurses are already health coaches.  So, I am hoping that little blog will be my retirement business.  That is the goal anyways.

As for this blog, it will be a little bit of everything kind of blog, all about I can do things maybe I didn't think I could, or you.  It is to motivate, and hopefully inspire.  After almost a year off from Etsy, I decided to start from scratch on their Pattern by Etsy platform.  I have so much inventory, from the old shop, and so many new things I want to create.  You can only create so many things for yourself.  I love making things!  Below is the link to my store, Pink Flamingo, cool name huh.  My daughter thought of it, and lucky for me I had quite a few photos of pink flamingos.  Of course I still have my homeschool blog, which has been a little neglected also.  It is so hard when they are older and we are not doing crafts or field trips all the time.  We are starting Summer Vacation soon, so I can mix things up over there a bit too. 

Check out my new shop, Pink Flamingo, and let me know what you think.  Not many items yet.  There is a listing there for website and product reviews.  So, if you need an affordable one, check it out.  

Upcyled Paper Valentine's Day Decor

I am very bad at decorating for Valentine's Day.  Matter of fact try never.  So, I decided since I am trying to get my daughter more enthused about Artsy stuff we would do some Valentine's Day decorations.  If  you are like me you have a ton of books, magazines maybe even newspaper lying around.  This cool lady shared some easy Shabby Chic ideas using old paper.  We are definitely going to try this.  I will share our results after we get them done.  This holiday will be here soon, so if you want to join in better get going.  If you join in, share a pic in the comments.  I would love to see what everyone else comes up with.

2019 Goals for the I Can Blog

Are you ready for a New Year?  I am!  This blog has been a dud for a while now.  I just have not been all that motivated since I shut my Etsy shop to make new things.  Then I found a monthly craft kit group, mine is for crocheting.  I buy the kit, make the item, and then donate it to the suggested charity.  This is an affordable way, at 25 dollars a month, to keep crocheting and help charity.  Of course I do other things too, paint, glass etching as well as much more.  So far I have finished 2 projects, just need to ship them.  So, here are the goals for this blog:

1-  Blog at least once a week, with new and interesting content.

2-  My son bought me brand new paint brushes for Christmas, so I guess I need to paint, lol

3-  Draw more

4-  Glass Etching and or Wood Working

5-  New garden projects
