About Me

Hey! Thanks for stopping by Flamingo Toes!

glasses2

My name is Beverly – but Bev is fine too. :)
Nice to meet ya.

I hope you’ll have fun looking around and checking out everything – my goal with this blog is for it to be a FUN place.
I’d love it if you find projects you like, posts you think are funny, whatever – and I hope you leave happier then when you got here.
Hokey? Yeah. But true.

I get some questions pretty regularly – so I thought I’d answer them here!

What’s with the name Flamingo Toes?

Coming up with a blog name is a tricky thing. Especially since I didn’t want to be pinpointed to just one thing. I kind of have crafting ADD.
I love to sew. And do embroidery – and make things for my house.
And I wanted to use this blog as a place to post about new things I’ve learned – from you!
So I chose a name that was generic. And fun.
Yes. I like flamingos. They’re pretty fun and kind of quirky. I hope like this blog.
No. I don’t have them all over my house or yard. Balance in all things. :)

What do you do when you’re not blogging?

Let’s see. When would that be?
Just kidding. When I’m not blogging, I am a graphic/website designer. I work from home, which is pretty awesome, so I have a great, flexible schedule.
I’m also a wife and mom – to this crazy crew. They keep things pretty busy around here.

If I’m not doing all that – I’m sort of trying to keep the house clean (not so successful there) or reading, listening to 80′s music, or watching old movies
And sometimes I’m trying to do all of those at once.

Some other random stuff about me. . . .

I’m a bit of a klutz. Ok – you long time readers know that’s a bit of an understatement.

I can make balloon animals. Do you have any skills that you look back on and think, “Why do i know this?” Yeah. me too.

I live next to the ocean but I don’t go in the water.

I’m really shy and I spend a ton of time in “social” media.

Anything else you want to know?

    Hello sweet Bev – I’m so excited to learn that we are indeed neighbors! We will have to meet at the beach for a walk some time. Looking forward to reading your posts. You inspire me already because you know how to sew and craft. I do not.

    Blessings,
    Marie

    I have just found your site through Tip Nut which featured your birdie tea towel. I love Tip Nut as it has lots of stuff to look through, and I often find new online friends as well.

    i love your site and my favorite, by far, is the halloween mantle. i am SO going to make the skeleton face mirror! please don’t take this as an insult, i only mean it to be helpful, but in the following sentence from your “about me” page, the word “weird” is spelled wrong and i think you meant to say hopefully “you” like this blog. i absolutely mean no offense, i just thought you might want to be aware of a typo! of course, i type in all lower case, so i’m definitely not the grammer police! thanks for your great ideas….

    “I love flamingos (fairly obvious) and it’s fun and quirky and a little wierd. Hopefully like this blog.”
