Technologically Challenged

It is very possible that some of you are thinking, so, you have this idea for a business, you love making things, you've been talking about it for ages, why don't you just get on with it? Yes indeed! I often ask myself that!

Here's the snag.  I am technologically challenged.  Yes, I know how to use a wp, have been using one version or another for years.  I had a desktop computer at my flat, then a laptop.  But, for the past 12 months, things have been a little bit tricky.  The landline died, then the laptop broke around the same time.  As I was hoping to sell the flat and move pretty quickly, I didn't pursue getting either fixed.  Sadly, time sped by, other things took priority, time sped by even faster, and here I am typing this on my mother-in-law's laptop whilst I wonder how and when I will ever get my own technology adequately sorted out. 

Another stumbling block is getting photos onto both this blog and my Claud Sends Love business page. I had hoped that I would be able to transfer photos from my mobile but it looks as though I need a snazzier phone to do that.  I do have a digital camera which I used with the now useless laptop but I can't find the disc to get the necessary software onto another machine.  I only managed to get my profile picture and that of the wallhanging on here because those picures were already on this laptop.

Last but not least, I need a sewing machine.  A lot of the items I make I can stitch by hand but for the bags and (maybe) cushions I'm thinking of making a sewing machine is a necessity.  I think I'll need to bribe my Mum so that I can use hers until I can get my own!

But none of these niggles stop me dreaming and I have decided to do what I can, when I can, towards getting the business sorted. I have to believe that when the time is right everything will fall into place and I can move forward with my Claud Sends Love business. One step at a time and I'll eventually get there!
