Seeking Balance
Yesterday I had a good chat with the nurse practitioner as we seek to find balance in my treatment – sufficient drug to control the cancerous cells, not so much that I have to deal with adverse effects. To that end, I am now on one capsule per day. I am really hoping that this…

Plans vs Reality
Stephanie Pollack has brilliantly summed up Life. I am a plan maker, a deadline meet-er. I purposely set up my life with goals I want to obtain, in a time frame that I need to work towards, pretty much daily. Having goals and deadlines gives me the adrenaline I need to get out of bed…

Goals
(the lines on the cloth are shadows from the loom) My stated goal – for far too many years – is to weave down my stash. I can say that little by little my stash is actually being used. I made a good dent in the Legacy from Lynne yarns over the past year finally…

Picking Away
I finally made it back to the AVL and this warp today. Normally a 100 yard long warp wouldn’t faze me, but this one? It’s been a challenge. It began last autumn. You remember? About the time the renovations began, and then mom got sick and died. And I just got completely knocked off…

A Little Help from my Friends
Today, in between dealing with Life, unpacking, sorting, beginning to re-pack (for Victoria and ANWG), get ready for Mary’s one day workshop The Empress’ Tea Cup (silk, silk and more silk) we wound up with a few minutes in which we could retreat from the madding crowd. Mary sorted through the 2/8 cotton, getting colours…

Not Out
The box with the cones holds more of Lynn’s yarn, this time cotton slub. The box with the tubes contains the yarn I brought in to re-sell – when I was still doing that. That box with the tubes? It’s two layers deep. So no, I’m not even close to being ‘out’ of yarn. And…

Endings
The cone is the last (finally!) of Lynn’s ginormous cones of cotton/linen blend. It’s about the same grist as 2/8 cotton, so has been weaving up nicely on the cotton warps I’ve been pulling. I really expected to use this cone up on the last warp, but here it sits, giving it’s all for another…

Stash
I routinely moan about the size of my stash. Admittedly it’s much too large – I have way too much yarn. My goal in life is to weave it down. That said, having a large stash with lots and lots of colours allows me to play/experiments with combining colours. This warp isn’t particularly innovative but…
