As I am sure some of will agree.
Had two laser surgeries, as I said last time, and there is still some blob of goop in my eye,
obscuring my vision. I go for my recheck on Wednesday.
Can't wait to hear that news.
Back to the laser lab??? Who the hell knows.
My toes are still super painful and I am limping like an old lady.
But then again, lately I feel like one.
My shoulder has been miserable and aching on and off for months. I finally went to
ortho, who informed me that, contrary to what I expected, I did not have arthritis in my shoulder.
Worse perhaps. I have small tears in my rotator cuff. Apparently as you age, your tendons
get weak, and that results in damage to other things.
When I explained what I do every day, I was informed that to help it to get better, I needed to stop doing what aggravated it.
You know the rest of this story, right????
So I am amusing myself away from the loom.
One of the things that I have come up with is this. Since I have to slow down my weaving, why not look at it from another angle.
Oh, snap.
Here is my brainstorm.
CRAZY AS A LOOM EGG TOWEL KIT
All the colors you need to make four gorgeous egg towels
16 harness loom required
Instructions plus wif file
$140 plus shipping
Getting them together now
So order early!
I have already started winding cones, and think that this might actually be fun.
I am thinking about how sometimes change can really throw you for a loop.
But other times, change allows you to step back, and see other doors, ones you may not even have thought of.
Back in 2012-13, when I had my head rearranged and my neck fused, I had to make changes. I went from a full tilt rug weaving business, to weaving fine threads, clothing, dish towels, linens, textiles for the home. I didn't know if I could do it. But I also didn't have any choice.
And here I am, all these years later, and I have loved what my weaving studio has turned into, and how it has sustained me.
So now, as I get older, and my body decides not to be the body I used to have, I have to adjust, once again.
Should I just throw in the towel, or should I stand back, and see what appears.
I think you know what I'll do.
and so do I.
