On my mind:
❋ I live in west central MI, not northern.
❋ I’m committing to knitting and spinning from the stash so I can start to save for my loom and accessories.
❋ We’re becoming beekeepers because we like bees, we would like them to help our garden and someday they might may us some extra honey. Until then, I want a fancy bee themed shawl pattern.

In my journal:

Craft Patience #4 In which I spin up a storm

Posted on February 21, 2011 by raederle

On my mind:

  • The Old Farm Girl physical store is closed, there is talk of an online presence eventually.

On the craft front:

Motherbear Project
I mention yarns by Brown Sheep, Lanaloft worsted weight single and Nature Spun fingering weight on a cone.

On the shelf or bookmarked:

Through my earbuds:

In my journal:

  • Debra 2011: More action, less procrastination apply it more areas than just crafting
  • To create we must let go of or stop clinging to the strategies that worked before, out biases, our grievances, and out fear of being found unlovable. We must let go again and again. ~ paraphrase of Gordon Mackenzie from Orbiting the Giant Hairball

I wonder:

  • Do you have tasks or changes you want to make but can’t? What’s stopping you?
  • Whether related to my theme for 2011 or completely different, have you set any challenges for yourself for 2011? What are they?

Craft Patience Episode #2 In which I am obsessed with user manuals

Posted on January 10, 2011 by raederle

On the craft front:

On the shelf or bookmarked combined with through my earbuds:

In my journal:

  • “Everyday creativity may not change the world, but it often makes the world more fun.”
    ~ James C. Kaufman, Creativity 101 (2009)
  • a doodle (click to enlarge)

On my mind:

I wonder:

  • What do you collect?
  • Do you have a collection of user manuals?
  • Do you read or refer back them? Where do you keep them? How often do you need to refer back to them?
  • Have you referred back to one in the last week, month, year, etc.
  • Do you remember to sort through and throw out those for products you no longer own?
  • Do you have a collection of quotations? Is it a collection on one topic or more than one? What topics are you collecting?

Welcome!

Posted on October 29, 2010 by raederle

Craft Patience is a podcast about infusing my life with a little bit of patience through crafts while rediscovering my creativity.

Regular segments will include on the crafting front, on the shelf or newly bookmarked, through my earbuds, in my journal and on my mind. The specific crafts I enjoy at this point in my life are primarily knitting and spinning, though other fiber related crafts will make guest appearances. On the shelf or newly bookmarked segment chronicles books and websites that I enjoy, whether fiber related, craft related, or just intriguing. Through my earbuds gives you a sneak peek at a podcast or two that I enjoy. I have written in journals since I was a child and in my journal will have a thought or two that I’ve written in since I last recorded. I promise I won’t be sharing anything that is jarring enough that it should be said to a therapist and not you. Since I’m 100% certain that I’ll have a non-sequiter or two, I’ve reserved on my mind for random thoughts about what I do when I’m not crafting. I will also have a segment for listener feedback or “from the mailbag” as well as “I wonder” in which I invite you to interact with me on a specific topic.

I look forward to sharing my craft life with you. I am a small town girl. I am a wife. I am a mother. I am a daughter. I’ll craft patience into my life this week tell you about how I did next time.
