I will be posting again soon. I'm in the midst of a move. Sometimes the choices we make in life don't turn out as planned......or don't turn out at all. I have come to the hard decision that leaving my current residence and moving to an apartment with my son (and two cats) is best for our family. The past six years have been fairly difficult and the last two have been slightly overbearing. I think I'm writing all of this here because I feel that the stress I have been feeling has prevented me from being as productive as I can be. Some people are good 'under pressure' but, I find that I am about the worst 'under pressure'. I have been searching for a new place for about six months and finally came across something within reasonable distance from my sub job with the Post Office, cleaning jobs, and family. There is plenty of room for Jeremiah, myself, and (of course) my two looms:) One of which I will ecstatically set up in the living room area! Only time will tell but, I feel that this is what is best..............I will get caught up on reading blogs and posting as soon as I'm settled in;) Best to you all!!!
There really is no greater therapy than creating. There is something to be said when one can take time to create something and sit back and look at the results and be pleased. I've been working through my stash of yarn and am nearing the end of it. I'm getting to the colors that I'm not very fond of which is, in turn, making me look at the finished products and thinking 'meh'. This last run of tencel scarves had me feeling that way. I much prefer using rich colors as opposed to muted tones because the results are always pleasing to the eye. Though these scarves have great luster due to the fiber content, they just lack the 'wow' I like to say when I'm finished.
Switching gears and heading over to my Glimakra, I've decided to go with a run of waffle weave towels. Since I don't have any unmercerized cotton left, I'm working with 5/2 mercerized cotton in teal and natural.

I think being under pressure and under stress are two different things and it sounds like you've been under a lot of stress which isn't good for you mental and physically.
I'll be wait for your next post and hopefully pictures of your new home.
I turned my living room into my weaving studio, and new living room upstairs (about to be moved to another room) will have one or two looms in it.
Your weaving is beautiful, you are working hard, be sure to take care of yourself, too.
If there is anything I can do for you, let me know.
