Plan, Change, Repeat . . . .

 


Sometimes I feel like a hamster on a wheel. I keep planning things, changing them, making new plans, and changing them again, and the cycle continues. I have come to realize that is just part of being interested in so many different things and maybe possibly a little of my insecurities.

After the first few months of having my website up and running I have made a few decisions to keep myself from this hamster wheel and to provide a more consistent experience for my customers. I will be hosting two Indigo Gatherings, one in late spring and one in early fall. I will see how those go and decide about other workshops. I plan to do seasonal shop updates, of pillows, and napkins.

I am hoping this keeps me on schedule with both making my items and with scheduling of Gatherings. Sometimes as a creative its hard for me to keep my focus when I don’t have plans or schedules to keep me moving forward. If I am being honest, it is sometimes hard to do that even with a schedule.

If you want to keep updated on when things are scheduled and when new items become available, sign up for my mailing list.

A Dream Became a Reality

If you had asked elementary school Patty what she wanted to do when she grew up, she would have said make stuff all day long. Middle school Patty would have said sew all day long. High school and college Patty would have said create and design. Current Patty would say all the above but share it with others. Show and teach others how much joy you can get from a day doing something with your hands. My Little Blue Shed backyard studio was the location of my first such workshop, a Natural Indigo Gathering, I decide on that name to change the focus from it being a class to being a time to just gather and create. I know I had a great time, and I think the 4 people (plus a little one) also enjoyed our time together. I look forward to more things like this. For me this was a dream that finally became a reality.

Setting Intentions - 2022

  “INTENTION is more then wishful thinking. It’s willful direction.” - Jennifer Williamson It’s a new year and of course everywhere you turn people are talking about goals, resolutions, intentions, bucket lists, and the word of the year. I love all that but it has never worked for me. I needed something different, something to focus on each month, especially now during the winter in Utah and the lingering pandemic. I decided to do a month to month goal. I started out with 2 that worked together, yoga and meditation. I did the Yoga with Adriane 30 day yoga journey Move. For meditation I use the Ten Percent Happier app. I didn’t set out with a planned 12 month list, and am seeing what intention I want to set as each month comes. Hint: you can tell what’s next if you look at the pictures above. How does that fit with my studio - My Little Blue Shed? Well I am still processing a lot of that. I know I want to try and build a community where I live. I enjoyed meeting people, shari...

Stay Curious and Keep Learning

Sometimes, I feel we get stuck in a routine, a comfort zone of sorts, and just stay there because that’s easier, or simpler then trying new things. I am no different. Taking a class helps me with this. I learn something new, meet others that have similar interests, and get pushed out of my comfort zone. These are all good things. Over this last 18 months that has been hard to do. Maiwa started offering classes online and when one piqued my interest this fall I signed up right away. I miss being in Vancouver, meeting others in the studio, and picking up a chai at one of the coffee shops on Commercial avenue on my way down the hill to class. I do have the chance to learn something new, try new techniques, and use my studio in a new way, a virtual classroom. When I signed up for the class I decide to treat it like a regular class, completing the technique the week they were are shown, reading the questions & comments that are posted, and starting my morning with a chai. I’m learning ...
