I was very hesitant, afraid I&#8217;d still hate it.  As it turns out, the actual work wasn&#8217;t so bad, and I rather like the scarves.  Granted, at this point I&#8217;ve only finished weaving the first and just started the second, but the actual weaving goes pretty quickly.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been putting mental energy into what I should be weaving for my new photos for show applications for 2015.  Pieces will need to be woven and photographed before I know it.  And I can never assume that every idea I have, or certainly every piece I weave, is suitable for jurying.  I wish I could say at this point that I knew what my next attempt for this purpose would be, but I don&#8217;t.  I&#8217;m hoping an inspiration will strike&#8230;soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wondering what I&#8217;ve been doing instead of blogging? <\/p>\n<p>I got the needed decisions from my next baby wrap moms and did all the time-consuming calculations to determine what exactly I needed to order.
