my facebook page is up and running... kindaa

Alright so my Facebook page is finally up. I didn't really do much to it just added a profile and cover picture, so I still need to write more about it and what I'm promoting.

So, pretty much my brother looked up crocheting videos on YouTube and taught himself how to crochet. I was really impressed on how quick he picked it up and how amazing his final projects turned out. I just want to promote him and how talented he is.

I will be posting about 1 or 2 posts a week to show you the process of crocheting and his techniques. Also, I will post videos of him crocheting and then his final projects of all the items he makes. He can pretty much crochet anything he sets his mind to. His self-motivation just really impressed me and motivated me to get him out there. I just want to show everyone his talent and that maybe one day he will want to start his own business.

facebook mission statement + personification

Mission Statement:

Who says only women can crochet? A man that is crocheting his way through a small personal business of handmade items. Makings include all sizes and colors.


Personification:


Deb is 52, is a single lady working at Walmart and also finds joy in crocheting. After her husband passed away, she formed a group of other ladies that enjoy crocheting. They donate all their makings to foundations such as the homeless shelters, dove centers, and struggling families, etc.


Melvin is 23, and just got married to the love of his life. They met in college where they both were in a small crocheting club. They moved to St. George, Utah, where she now attends Dixie State University and he works at Walmart. They still find enjoyment in crocheting together.  


Dustin is 34, and is married with 5 children. He works at a granite company in St. George, Utah. He is currently trying to start an Air Conditioning and Heating (AC & H) business of his own. For Christmas, he personally asked me (Shawn) to make his children handmade beanies and scarfs.

social networking & stabilization

Technology is advancing more and more everyday.

I see young teenagers with the new Iphone 6 and their faces are seriously glued to the screen. They're probably on some sort of social network posting a selfie. When I was there age I had an old flip phone that didn't work and I would pretend to be texting or talking on the phone to act cool.


Don't get me wrong the internet is a great thing and is an easy access for anyone. I can't really say much because I have a smart phone myself. Technology is making more and more apps to make things easier for us humans. There is an app for anything and everything now.


It may seem that I don't like technology and social networking or that I'm against it but I'm not. I'm just scared that one day it will become too much. I have an Instagram, Facebook, and Snap-chat, all the popular social networks. That's where I hear all the news about whats going on in the world. Its a great way to keep in contact with friends and family and also advancing a new business. We just can't let technology and social networking take over and control our lives. We still have to have an opinion of our own instead of what someone said on the internet.
