New beginnings

Hello,  this is my first post as a blogger.  My Name is Claire,  I am a lover of crafts and all things homemade.  I have had a page on Facebook for fourteen months almost, and I have used that like a blog, I started it to share photos of the things I make because I was worried that I was boring people on my personal Facebook profile, with things that they not be interested in and people that were interested wouldn't be able to see them unless we were Facebook friends, so Claire's Sewing Creations, Sewing, Crafts, and more began.

I did swing back and forth with my page in thinking is anyone interest, and I couldn't decide if to make it a business page, so people could order my makes,  I was terrified of being bombarded with orders that I couldn't keep up with, as I have a husband, three young sons, one of which has additional needs, one Chihuahua, four cats, and two cockatiels.  So up to now, I have shared photos of my makes, and chatted about anything crafty,  but a massive change is in process,  my husband and I have got keys for a local business premises yesterday, we have an empty three rooms, one we want to use for storage, this will be mainly for my husbands work bits and bobs, another for a wood workshop (hubby is a carpenter), and the third and final room will be a joint room, my husband wants  an office, and seating area for visitors, and the rest of the room with be a sewing studio.  I was planing to keep my crochet, paper crafts, and other crafts at home.  I have panicked about this also, I hated the thought of taking my sewing out of my home, not being able to sew in school holidays, but the space created at home will be welcome,  I suppose if I was desperate I could take them there for a while with their iPads.   Before I move over, I want some more free standing shelving, and I want the internet set up, the internet has been ordered, but I don't know how long it will take, so I am thinking now to move in after the Easter school holiday.

I want to continue making things for my home and children, gifts for friends and family, and a few things a few friends have asked me to make.  I may possibly make items of my choice to sell maybe on an etsy shop or something similar but have not decided yet totally, but what I would really like to do is start photograph and text tutorials,  I have been unsure until now, because I am not sure if you do tutorials, if all the designs have to be your own patterns, most things I make are and some are not, or I use a pattern as a base an change it to suit me.  I need to look into this more, as I don't want to end up with a law suit on my hands for copyright.  

So watch this space...  

Thank you for following my blog,
