Roadblocks
When I get stressed, I start to procrastinate. When I procrastinate, everything I am stressing about seems to loom larger. So then I wind up with increased stress and problems that simply get bigger and more difficult to deal with. And round I go. Until I finally get a round tuit and start dealing…

Transitions
Spring here is more about getting through spring break up than flowers blooming. But that’s the thing about life transitions – they are frequently messy, dirty, and take a long time to resolve. So here I am, in the midst of spring break up. The snow is mostly gone and the remnants are piles…

Starting Again
Yesterday I got the Megado threaded and sleyed after pressing the place mats I’d wet finished the day before. I’ve been chatting with some folk about working in series, something many creative people do. Working in a series is an opportunity to explore various aspects of a design. In my case, I come up with…

Timing is Everything
I had hoped to have this series wrapped up before Christmas but then – more realistically – mid-January. Well, here we are Jan. 9 and I am on the last couple of yards. I will finish weaving today, reserving the last bit of the warp for a Zoom demo I will do tomorrow. And…

Yarn Chicken
My bags of empty tubes continue to fill. Yesterday I played the Yarn Chicken game (will she or won’t she run out of yarn before finishing?) and lost, so the fourth towel has a decorative band of a different colour at the end. Oh well, it will still dry dishes… Last night I wound…

Lists
I forget when I last got rid of my empty tubes – August, maybe? These have been emptied since. Now obviously they were not full to begin with! Some were very close to empty. But the thing was, the emptier they got, they less they were able to stand up and had to be…
