Blogging, Social Media and Web Opportunity

Several times since I have been writing this blog, folks have approached me to apply for, try out, (I am not sure what you call it) for a paid blogging, web kind of thing.  Okay, so it has only been three times over the last five years, but I would call that several.  It has never felt like it would fit in with my blog style, the time commitment was not right, etc. So I have allowed those opportunities to pass me by until late last year.  One of my designers, Brenda Freebern of Picture Perfect Interiors, came to me and asked if I would be interested in helping her increase her web presence on her internet site.  Brenda and I have worked together for over 20 years, she brings me her designs and I whip them up using my sewing skills.  In that time, I would say that we have become good friends and she can give me a scribbled line drawing, with a couple of measurements and I know exactly what she is asking for. This opportunity became real a couple weeks ago and I am now Picture Perfect Interior’s web designer, blog writer, social media updater, and all things internet and print ad related.  I have to say, it has been so fun doing something a bit different but yet still interior design industry related.  After all, I have been in my basement studio for over 20 years now, it is about time I can come into the light of day at least a couple of hours a week.  This is a very part-time opportunity and in no way takes away from Stitches By Sturman, but is in addition to my drapery fabrication work.  Who knows where this will go?  But again, I have a new creative outlet that really jazzes me and I get paid for it too.  Here is how you can give me a little boost right off the bat with my new responsibilities, go on over and check out the Picture Perfect Interiors website, “like” Picture Perfect Interiors on FaceBook, follow Picture Perfect Interiors on Twitter and Pinterest and finally go look at Picture Perfect Interiors on Kansas City Homes & Garden.  It would be fabulous if you would check back frequently to Picture Perfect Interiors as I will be doing weekly updates on not only what you can find in the store, but design ideas and trends as well.  Here’s to my new found opportunity and creativity. {Clink!}
