Decisions, decisions

One of two things:
Either I am getting OLD, or my thyroid is doing LESS and LESS.
I am exhausted.

The worst part is that I don't seem to be doing anywhere near as much as usual, but I am ten times more tired.
I think it is part spring, and part situational.   Worry, poor sleep, and lack of same.

I actually hired a couple of guys to rake at the studio.  There was no way I was doing it.  I couldn't face it.  I don't mind a lot of outside work, but raking is something that wears my shoulders down.
I need my shoulders for weaving.  Pick your battles, I say.

I did some accounting work, that I hardly mind, and then I wove a couple more small hit and miss rugs.
I use a temple.  Always have, since the beginning of my weaving experience.
I know some people say that they take too much time, and that they are unnecessary.
I don't agree.
I use them, I like using them.  My rugs are STRAIGHT, and I think I actually weave faster, because I am not worrying about my selvedges.

It is important to put the temple on as soon as you put your scrap fabric in, before your header.

I measure it to the width of the warp in the reed.

I move it every two inches.  

I prefer these metal temples made by Toika.

My header is right underneath the temple.

I was thinking today that I have to stop showing you rugs and rugs and rugs.

You must be sick to death of seeing rugs, rugs, rugs.

Even pretty rugs.
No matter how much I love them.

You must be sick of them by now.  I mean how many rugs can you see anyway?

On the way home from the studio today, knowing that I hadn't taken many pictures today, and feeling somewhat unmotivated anyway, I wondered if maybe I have run out of blogging material.  You all know what I do.  

I weave.  I teach weaving.  I weave some more.  I am an addict.  I admit it.

Yes, I do other things on occasion.  

But mainly, I weave.

And I talk about it.

So maybe it is time to find something else to blog about, or call it a day.

Maybe I am just tired.

Ack.
