Hey! Thanks for stopping by Flamingo Toes!
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?

I need your help!! I am trying to figure out how to post a blog button like yours into my post, I know how to do it on the sidebar and everything but not on the actual blog post.. Maybe it is quite obvious and I am just missing it. Your blog is just the best!!
Can u please enter my email to get the latest info from your site??
I just have to tell you, that your blog is set up so amazingly well! It is so organized and just flows so nicely. You are an inspiration to me! I’m constantly revamping things on my blog to get it just right, but I have lots I need to organize still.
If you’re interested, I host a weekend link party. I’d so love for you to post my button and link up your amazing projects! No hurt feelings if you can’t, I know there’s tons out there these days! Thanks for hosting your fun party!!!

I also am on FB with Flamingo Toes
Did you also know (I found it in an encyclopedia years ago) … that in early Christian religion, the flamingo was considered to be a symbol of resurrection & eternal life ? Pretty cool, eh !!!
can i purchase the chain braclet from you?
My niece is getting married this coming October, 2012 and she loves flamingoes too. I was trying to think of a unique wedding gift hopefully on your site as one of her gifts.
Her bedroom was parrot green and she even painted a flamingo painting to hang on her wall. She doesn’t live there anymore but the room is still that green! Thanks for such a interesting and beautiful site.
I love ALL your loves!
Great list, Bev…thanks for sharing!
Hi Bev. Love your necklace & I assume the 2 beautiful Teens are yours?? I look forward to talking with you each day!! Your smile brighten this seniors day. Energy to get up & find a project to do. Wish my hubby would let me get a camera to put my Gray-ish hair on profile and my projects shown.
Hi Bev,
So enjoy your website…especially the aprons! I make aprons and all proceeds go to missions. I wonder which ocean you live near? (I live in Long Beach, CA, but no where near the ocean.) My hubby of 41 years is a chaplain at the ports of LB and LA.
Blessings,
Fay

I truely enjoyed your blog. I also love to sew and I’m looking for a pretty lacy pillow patern to make for our grown daughter. Enjoy your day and Bee Happy!!!
Enjoy your projects and designs. I’m looking for toweling that is either pre-made or sold in bulk for the many kitchen,bar, and bath towels that I want to embroider. Have you a source for any of this? From what I see in my searches on the web, some look too cheap and might not hold up to washing. Thank you. Mary
Hello Beverly! I just found your blog through an email I received earlier this morning from Allfreesewing.com. I’ve spent most of the morning just looking at all the marvelous things you’ve created. I so love your blog and Pinterest boards! My favorite thing so far is the retro Christmas dish towel! By any chance, do you have one for Thanksgiving? My Mom hosts Thanksgiving lunch at her house every year for our extended family and I would love to make something like that for her. I’m also going to make the Christmas dish towels for my Aunt & Uncle who host Christmas at their house every year. SUPER EXCITED!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Holly
