Tell those that want it this way or that, no, I sell what I make, I don't make custom orders.<br />I am very much that way - I love doing what I want to do. When I HAVE to make something, I somehow resent it. It's not as fun. When I can make something and change it cuz that's what's working for me, it's way more fun! <br />Yes, sunshine helps. But you have to find what makes YOU happy.....<br />Hang in there. Spring is coming.....<br />(((HUGS))) cuz everyone needs one now and then.<br /><br />MarthaMarthaVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936514662127166756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-26537046390432074542011-02-06T18:13:55.334-05:002011-02-06T18:13:55.334-05:00I just put a new warp on my loom and you were on m...I just put a new warp on my loom and you were on my mind.

It seems everything in life has some price. Doing what you love is great as long as doing it dosent kill the joy of it.

Vitamin D will help till you figure out the other two. :)<br /><br />Sometimes its easier to work out what you do want buy understanding what you don't like first. It also means you must 'know thyself' inside and out and I reckon you have that sewn up. What is it that you are doing now that you have difficulty with? What parts give you joy?<br /><br />I think all serious weavers must decide how they will handle their efforts as it can get carried away. I knew that I get bored easily and so yardage or the same thing over and over would kill the joy of my weaving. So I decided to weave what I like, with occasional customer orders and specialty projects and focus on the process rather than quantity. What helps is I'm not weaving for an income so I have choices others may not enjoy.<br /><br />The reevaluation is constant and ongoing, especially with a chronic back problems. I must try to work out how to keep weaving in my life and achieve a balance.<br /><br />SusanSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-63641288040773263082011-02-05T17:35:46.984-05:002011-02-05T17:35:46.984-05:00A good dose of sunshine cures a good many things.
...A good dose of sunshine cures a good many things.<br /><br />Listening to Harvest Moon on your playlist and wondering "did Neil Young have the same questions?" re balancing success ~ life ~ don't we all? I think we all have balance issues. Interesting to read your thoughts on the process.J'Ollie Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744123704292534249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-52414359257747980502011-02-05T17:17:35.688-05:002011-02-05T17:17:35.688-05:00It is sometimes difficult to make changes.

I built up a very successful income tax business, but my clients did not want an employee to help them, they wanted me to do their return, and they also wanted to refer their family and friends. There are only so many hours in a day, I found myself looking at my client list to see who I could "fire"(difficult clients). Could I only do some of these returns and still make a profit? Then I was forced to move out of the building I was renting because it was sold, the only thing I could find to rent was twice the rent, so I had to do more returns to make the same profit. I sold the business after only 3 years at the new location. I am back working at home doing taxes only for close friends and family. People thought I was crazy, they didn't understand that I was not happy.<br />Good Luck with whatever you decide.<br />And yes, a dose of sunshine will help.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-74327804337179088852011-02-05T17:05:47.808-05:002011-02-05T17:05:47.808-05:00I understand examining what you have built for you...I understand examining what you have built for yourself, at times I envy you, and at times not so much.<br />I love your studio, maybe there are other things that your studio can provide for you and support you.<br />I know you do workshops, maybe other people with crafts could do retreats, knitting, spinning, sewing while using your beautiful studio.<br />That type of thing isn't for everyone, but I'm just throwing it out there. I just came back from a sewing group, as a guest, the project was felted wool mittens, it was fun and a lot of commerardary that was good for my soul this winter.<br />Nothing wrong with taking stock of your life and see what needs adjusting if anything.<br />I love your blog and hope you continue.KarenPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937277806209339309noreply@blogger.com
