Starting up crafting again

My child is all grown up and about to graduate college. I now have a Masters degree and I've moved a few times finally landing in a house after many offers and heartbreaks for not getting my dream one. Sometimes you just have to settle so you can start living.

Several of the blogs that I used to write for are now defunct and I will have to sadly remove them from this blog. I have started another blog, too, but it is not ready and is not totally free to run like this one. 

The country and the world seems in disarray but the one thing I can count on is using creativity to weather all the storms (at least that is what I keep telling myself). Plus, I really want to create my own way to more income so that once I get to retirement in about 10-15 years I have something that is all mine. 

I started a YouTube channel: Delyn Creates where I will be using my technology skills and my passion of crafty things to make tutorials. 

One thing I have been doing for a long time is designing fabric and selling at Spoonflower as well as selling smaller pieces through my Etsy shop: Creating with Thread. Some of my designs use a great online web design tool called Repper which is a totally addictive site and one of my main subjects on my YouTube Channel. I also decided to become an Amazon Affiliate because I am always telling people about products I use so I might as well get a little income along the way. Plus, if you want me to try something out and do a critique on here, let me know. I'm game!

So, thanks for stopping by and I hope to be posting more thoughts and sharing links with you about things you might like.  My plan is to keep this blog more of a personal journey while the new one will be more tutorial based.
