web design is hard

I recently went on a quest to find a free software to design my website ingeniouscreationsnow.com. There are so many out there!!!! I downloaded about 5 different products to see which would fit my needs. Well the problem here is that I dont speak HTML, so now the quest has extended to teaching myself to write codes. I am so not a computer person! IDK where to start. My frustration is that this is the last step I have in getting this business up and running. Everything is ready to go except this website. I have inventory, lots of items for making custom orders, shipping is still kinda up in the air but thats cause I havent sent anything out since I dont have a website to sell from! See how everything branches itself back to this darn ol website!? So that is where I am going now to learn how to write a basic code maybe I'll get better as the time goes on the software that I downloaded seems pretty easy just the matter of putting things on it!

new stuff made

I am still working on that darn website who knew that webdesign was something that could be so darn difficult!? You always just surf around online not thinking about how the heck these pages get here and all the codes and other crap that it takes just so I can use freakin Facebook!
I finally think that I got the perfect UT color of ribbon!!!!! It has been a matter of debate and purchasing yards and yards of ribbon just to find this color and I am pretty confident this time that I have found a really really good match. So cheer bows are coming to the FB page for UT and I guess I could put up a few other teams as well dont want to leave anybody out(like I really care).
Finished a test crochet pattern off Rav and I love the end result its a cardigan for Gwendalynn and its just beautiful. It called for buttons but I have all this ribbon that I found a beautiful blue ribbon to tie it in the front and it brings the whole thing together with her school uniform perfectly


until next time

Ingenious Creations Now

Ok so I have been working on starting my own business something that wont annoy me to keep up or feel pressure if things get good.
I tried the crochet store on etsy and I felt there was just too much pressure to make things. Crochet doesnt have the instant gratification like making hair bows. And since they are so quick and easy to make with so many possibilities I am pretty sure that this is the direction that I would like to go in for the time being.
I have wanted to have my own business for so long not to replace having an actual job which is what it is now but just to be my own boss. I want to create things so badly so what better way to have constant creations than to sell them to the masses!?
I am looking forward to this store being opened soon I just need to figure out the whole web design thing! So many people charge so much money to design a webpage it seems pretty ridiculous to charge so much for something that I can do myself. I hate people doing things for me! I have the need to learn and take care of myself so i dont have to rely on people to make things happen.
