Closing Doors, Opening Windows

I’ve been having a lot of fun working with various colours and combinations with the variegated cotton yarns.  And I needed more towel inventory, anyway, so it’s all been good.

But – in spite of my huge stash – I am running low on sufficient amounts of the colours I want to use so I can see another cotton yarn order in my future.

Well, I’ll be placing a rather large order for the linen and hemp for A Good Yarn:  Linen and Hemp today so the cotton yarns will have to wait until I get home and see what my schedule is going to look like in terms of weaving more towels.

And another opportunity has knocked.  In order to answer that knock I have to do something I haven’t done in a very long time – draw up a resume to include with my application.

Someone once observed that I was doing something in order to enhance my resume.  I had to laugh at that because I’d given up keeping an up-to-date resume a few years previous to that comment.  Quite frankly, making my resume look good is never in my thoughts when I choose to tackle something – or not.

But this particular opportunity would tie in very well with my teaching goals and in order to even be considered a resume is required.  So over the next couple of days I will be opening a Word file and trying to remember stuff I’ve done that will be pertinent to consideration for the position.  I am so glad I didn’t procrastinate over getting the article for Handwoven and the files for AGY: Rayon done because I actually have a couple of days in my schedule that I can use to work on the application – it has to be received by the 15th of January.  It will mean less weaving, but since I’m running short of yarns anyway…..
