New to Blogging

So here I am. I am a mother of two beautiful little girls and a wife.  I devote most of my time to my family or used to.  After six years of devoting all my time to family I finally came to terms that it was okay to devote some time to myself.  It took alot of self convincing and repression of guilt to let go of some of the control and focus on myself. 
So here I am, starting my own little side business.  Lost in the new world of technology learning the art of twitter and blogging?  Wow alot to learn but I am doing it little by little.  I find alot of feedback helps!
In need of some sort of me time, I have started to revert back to my craft of crocheting.  I have always loved to crochet and started way back when I was younger.  I often crochet just as a pass time when I was bored or looking for a new project.  It grew into a favorite hobby and now I am using the fast paced technological world to share my craft with the world.  I find it a little bit overwhelming but am sticking to it none the less.
With that being said I have created my store Hook N' Loops on etsy.  I am very excited with the feedback to date and even managed a couple of sales already!  It has given me the push to continue with the sweat and tears not to mention the lack of sleep.
I am hoping that with blogging I will drive some new clients to Hooks N' Loops and perhaps generate some additional feedback on my inventory.  Ideas on growth?  Help with photos (still have not mastered that!)? Basically by blog site is two fold.  Help with building my etsy store and inventory and to generate interest and ultimately sales.
I will try to update my blog weekly as I learn the ropes.  I am a very honest candid person and will try to keep the blogs as reflective of myself as possible.
