Get Up and Go
Leclerc skein winder for winding yarn for quills – and a couple of proto placemat warps in amongst the rubble For the past few months I have been ‘suffering’ from a serious lack of get up and go. I’ve been blaming this lack of energy on a whole list of things – the unremitting stress…

Thrumming Along
Bucket of thrums (weighing 15 pounds) On Wednesday I’ll be meeting the surface design artist to whom I give my thrums, so I dragged the bucket out from under the table where it lives tonight so I don’t forget to bring the bag with me. I haven’t weighed it, but the bag holds the last…

Tiny Steps of Progress
I’m not sure why I’ve been struggling the past few months, but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I’m extremely deadline oriented. :} Since I have plenty of inventory, the incentive to drive myself to the loom to make more seems – well, a little excessive?

Hitting the Road – Again
I’m about ready to load up the van and hit the road again. Stopping in Vernon to meet a prospective client, so I’ll be home later than I’d hoped – it will be getting dark before I get home. It’s been a great interlude before I get back and jump onto the colour gamp kits.…

Neutral Colour Gamp
For the past few weeks I’ve been high into procrastination mode. Today I finally figured out why – I’m waiting on word about a significant project and have been on tenterhooks wondering if it is going to go ahead with the co-operation of another person, or…..not. I am terribly deadline driven, and with this project…
