Today I finally had some time to sit down and work on the towels that I started, what? 2 or 3 months ago? I just finished threading the heddles and have started sleying the reed. I started this blog with the hope that I would make myself find more time to weave. I love the way I feel when I’m weaving, the way it makes me feel centered. My life can be hectic – and it is, but when I sit down at the loom, I’m calm. But, the reality is that my time to weave is limited.
I haven’t told you much about myself outside of weaving. I’m the mother of 2 very active four year olds. That’s right – twins. They truly are a joy, but its hard. Very hard at times. Until recently, the only time I had to weave was when they were sleeping (they stopped napping a couple of months after they turned 2). Usually by that time I’m too exhausted myself to do anything but plop on the couch in front of the tv. We have finally gotten to a point that I can occasionally spend a few minutes in of the loom while they play. They are also pretty good now at leaving my loom alone. So I steal minutes here and there when I can. I should make more time to weave, though. I need to start taking more time for me so that I can be a better and more patient mom for my kids.
