Maybe what I am learning from them isn't a bad thing.
I am beginning to be more 'mindful' of what I do, even the mundane.

I like to position myself in the sunniest window, and find myself some days following the sun around the house.

I am learning to love myself enough not to beat myself up over a 20 extra pounds.

I am learning to be calm, learning to let life unfold.

Who knew that four stray cats could teach me so much??
But lest you think that all the time I spend at the studio is a lark, there is a lot of drudge work to do before the weaving begins. Winding the warp, threading the heddles, sleying the reed, then searching out colors and cutting lots of fabric. I immerse myself in the task at hand. I accept it as necessary preparation for the end result, which is where I find my mojo.

Doing the things we love to do is always great for the mojo!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your music... do you listen to the same tunes when you weave??

Your top photo is an EXQUISITE loom photo...wow. And thank you for the reminder about the extra 20 pounds, learning to be calm, finding ones mojo...all good stuff!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! And I'll bet you don't feel the need to scratch furniture arms either.:-)
ReplyDeleteLessons I've learned from the dogs. Bark at everything, life's short.
Wonderful shots.. particularly the loom view. We could do a lot worse things than learn from our feline friends.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo, girl? It's a goodun.
ReplyDeleteI follow the sun too.
Geez, I so envy your home. Grand photographs! (Just accept the fact that your cats secretly dictate your life more than you'd ever care to admit. That's their purpose after all. ha!)
ReplyDeleteI am loving the look of the sun shining on the sectional loom. It is all darks and lights. The warp looks like it has a halo! I am craving the sun these days!
