Welcome to my new series of articles, Life with Pat!
I have been writing online since about 1998. I have written in many different spaces, and not always about quilts (GASP!). In April of 2006 I started this space.
It's my home. I love to have this site to write at and share with you.
This year I selected the word 'BALANCE' to keep in my heart and to remind me to really balance my life out with all kinds of things I like to do, not just quilt things.
Many times over the years I've written about the other things I do. Like decorating, finding the right paint color (I'm looking at you chocolate walls!), reading, cooking, yarn, travel and so much more.
Being a business owner means you usually hear me talk about my Quilt Design business. Fabric (swoon!), Quilts (double swoon!), Teaching Quilting and talking quilting.. day in and day out. And I love it!
To Balance... I DO have other interests and other hobbies... I will be writing articles every so often about 'Life with Pat'. My thoughts on things that might be other than quilts. Writing about what Inspires me, motives me.... I will be writing about real life.
To say I'm excited about this is an understatement. We all have other interests. I read the articles by several people that often write about things that are not their 'craft'. And I REALLY enjoy those 'other' posts. They are often the 'life' posts. that inspire me. To make me feel connected to the writer.
Welcome to my WHOLE life, I hope you will feel a connection in these posts and share with me, that is what friendship is, right?
A little bit of what I'm doing right now
- Trying to figure out WHEN I'll have time to paint my downstairs.. as I want to do it before it's cold again.. and I really want to change that chocolate to pale blue
- Looking at a lot of cooking magazines.. i am a foodie at heart, but mostly would rather someone ELSE cooks .. but cooks AMAZING food.. not just good food. I think a private chef would be the cat's meow!
- I love scents. I'm savoring the last bits of burning that candle as ... well.. i love the shape of it, the label, the name and the smell. I'm going to try and get the wax out of it when it's done to use the glass container... anyone done that before?
Welcome to my life, my passions, my dreams... I can't WAIT to share more with you. Did you love this? What is on your mind right now? Leave me a note!
ps... I just added a category on the right side bar called "Life with Pat'
