Special Podcast: Who Are You Now?

It’s been 18 months or so since our world turned on its head. As a small business owner, my day to day world really didn’t change all that much. I still worked from home. I still worked by myself. As an introvert, I didn’t mind being by myself.

First Hat I Designed in 2015ish

But what did change was DH working from home. The small business opportunities that I depended on were cancelled. I needed to pivot my business tasks to reflect the world.

But now that things are opening up, my friends and I are starting to wonder, will we just go back to the way it was? Or are we indelibly changed? Will we become a combination of the old and the new in our new world.

So listen and and let me know what you think your new normal will be. Click here to listen or subscribe on iTunes or Spotify.

From 12 to 1000’s

I dropped the new episode of the Flying Goat Farm Podcast. This week, I talk about how the 12 hue(color) families grow to the thousands of colors. Just think about the color chips in the paint store or the beautiful bolts of fabrics in a quilting store or the wall of yarn at your LYS or needlepoint store. All these colors excite us and give us so much pleasure to work with. I also talk about how these colors provide the interest in your handcrafted items.

I talk about this color evaluator tool to “see” the values in your work, your yarn, or your fabrics.

If you are joining me on this journey, I give you a couple of tasks to do with your collection to build your color confidence and curate your collection further.
