My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Where's @Bev? Anyone heard from her?

9 years ago
We haven't heard from Bev since 9/12. Should we be worried?
Featured Answer
  • 9 years ago

    Hi Everyone! I'm very alive and well and thanks for asking. My knee has healed remarkably fast--I have not had to use my walker since the end of week 3; I have been walking normally up and down stairs since the end of week 4; and my doctor says I can go back to bowling next month! I also do not need to go to physical therapy--I just need to keep doing what I have been doing.

    I decided to reopen my Etsy shop about a month ago since the venue where I usually make hundreds of dollars over Thanksgiving weekend has closed. It's where I sold tons of the jewelry that I make. I decided to reopen for this reason and also due to friends on Etsy wanting me to come back. Etsy provides the software to open a shop but the shop owner does all the work! I have listed 188 items, more if you count the items I have already sold. I post at least 3 photos of each item. This means I take all of the photos and edit them on software before posting. Once I post the photos, I have to describe what the buyer is buying and all of this takes quite a bit of time! I'm almost done posting my jewelry; now, I need to make some more coloring book bags since they were a huge seller for me last year (I sold every bag I made)! Then, there is the time I take each day promoting my shop through the teams I belong to on Etsy.

      Can you message her?

    • 9 years ago
      Thanks, I'm on iPhone presently; not aware of how to do so....I'll get on computer in the morning. Worried. Bev is typically so present ...

      I don't know how, either. Sorry.

    • 9 years ago
      Thanks, Kris. Always love your thoughtful posts.

      I already checked the other day, she had no message and she has not posted in several days.

      I was actually just thinking about that the other day! Glad I'm not the only one who noticed she's ghostly gone

    • 9 years ago

      I think we feel the same way inter.

      I wish we had an alert system in here. so folks don't just vanish and you never know where they went.

      Geez, can't the woman take a break? Also, she posted 17 hours ago. Unless there is a different Bev.

    • 9 years ago

      yes, i have noted there is now a second one.

      and don't worry emma, if you are so against we promise not to worry if you vanish for over 2 weeks.

      not posted since 9/12. and since she posts everywhere even on 3 year old threads, a little hard not to notice.

    • 9 years ago
      I was wondering too why we have not heard from her love how she is always so kind.

      Bev mentioned in a post a month or so ago that she was having, I think, knee replacement surgery so assume that is why she has not posted recently.

      I, too, miss her as I always enjoyed reading her kind, helpful posts.

      Wishing her a speedy recovery and hope she returns soon to Houzz.

    • 9 years ago

      well i think everyone lurking who enjoys reading her comments, should write something here. then when she returns someone could point it out to her. i bet she really appreciates it.

    • 9 years ago
      She always have such a kind way of giving advice. Hopefully, she'll be back soon!
    • 9 years ago
      She was posting just days from her knee replacement. I miss her, too.
    • 9 years ago

      I've been worried about Bev.

    • 9 years ago
      I sent her a note.
    • 9 years ago

      Oh so sorry, yes, I was thinking different Bev. I think this Bev will be flattered when she returns to see that she was missed.

      Bev has re opened her etsy store. She has been busy with that. She thanks every one for their concern, and will pop in soon!
    • 9 years ago

      There is a system called the Houzz Buddy. Everyone nominates a buddy that they communicate with to tell why they are away, and that they are still alive. The buddy reports back to Houzzers, but leaves out the details, for privacy.

    • 9 years ago
      Oh wow....thanks, lademers!
    • 9 years ago

      Bev is back on Houzz now.

    • 9 years ago

      Where does one find the Houzz Buddy system?

    • 9 years ago

      It's only as I described. It was started by Houzzers. Easy to pick someone you trust on Houzz, then privately communicate with them if there's an absence.

    • 9 years ago
      Phew! Someone's been busy! Nice to hear from you, Bev, and happy to hear you're recovering so quickly! We all missed you!
    • 9 years ago

      Thanks Lori! I really appreciate it.

    • 9 years ago

      Bev you posted as I was reading the comments here! I'm glad to hear you are well.

      I'll be checking out your Etsy shop :)


    • 9 years ago

      Bev, I am so happy to hear that your knee is recovering fast. I don't post that many things on Houzz but when I do you have always provided great advice. I will definitely be checking out your etsy store! Best of luck, Atalie
