Once upon a time, my fiber journal was my main blog. Then we bought our homestead and there was so much to do that I created a homestead blog. One of those things to do was repairing and upgrading our 100-year-old house. Seventeen years later, the interior of the house is almost done! With every room we've worked on, I've had to pack things up and pile them elsewhere. Between that and establishing our homestead, my fiber arts activities have been off-again / on again.
2025 was mostly an off-again year, although I managed 28 fiber blog posts. Late last summer, when Dan started on the front bedroom where I set up my Glimakra, things were packed up again and piled up in my sewing room, so my table loom and supplies were harder to get to. That led to a loss of momentum for weaving the samples for the project I was working on.
Happily, that front room is finally almost finished!

I've reserved getting excited about it until just recently, but now I'm starting to think about new weaving ideas and goals. Getting back to work on my fiber stash too. It needs to be turned into yarn!

Leigh, I am excited for you (and myself) too! It must be a relief to have everything moving back into place.
Oh gosh, it definitely will be a relief, TB. It will be a good opportunity to do another sifting and purge as well. I've been living with clutter and chaos for so many years, I won't know how to behave! lol
You have been most patient, Leigh; you're a good example. 😉
Oh Michelle, I wish that was true! I confess that I struggle with priorities. I have so much to do with the house, garden, critters, that carving out time for something I love makes me feel a bit guilty. I know I shouldn't feel that way, but it's the thing I struggle with. I'll have to overcome that in 2026 too!
Get off the computer - grab a warping board!
Meg, LOL. It's true, the computer is a time guzzler for me. .Less computer = more weaving. :)
