- Spring. So many seasonal chores on the homestead: garden prep, planting, kidding, haying, spring cleaning, getting ready for new chicks. Plus maintenance jobs that are best done before the hot summer weather arrives, such as giving the barn a new coat of paint.
- Being able to weave on the Glimakra is up in the air due to Dan saying he needs to get started on that project in the room, but not actually getting started. It will be a dusty, messy affair, so I'm reluctant to get a warp on that loom, even though there are some wider 8-shaft projects I'd like to get started on.
- A non-related research project, which is taking a lot of my free time but needs to be done.
That leaves the table loom. Choices:
- I talked about doing some early American overshot samples, but can't make up my mind on a pattern. Plus I can't find navy blue wool yarn locally, which hasn't helped in the enthusiasm department.
- Bathroom rug, which I've been thinking about forever (or so it seems). My t-shirt rag rug attempt wasn't satisfactory, so I've abandoned that. But I have yet to find an idea that I really like.
So in the meantime, I'm doing some mending and hand sewing, all the while thinking I'd rather be weaving.

TB, eventually it has to! And I like the idea of coming from the unexpected. That is so true of the creative process.
I confess, however, that free time in planting season is a bit scarcer than other times of the year.
I can imagine. The amount of time I spent not raking leaves and mowing this year has been astounding.
