I have spent quite a bit of time with friends recently. AND talked to one of the greatest DIVA’S from Boston today! How amazing our girlfriends are and what tremendous energy they give to us in just listening and laughing. Does anyone else feel isolated in the busyness of life? My world revolves around family and home, and yet there is a part of me that sits and waits. I catch glimpses of me in the busyness, but the me that my friends know is just below the surface waiting to come back out full time. A wise man once told me that I could do everything I wanted to do in life, just not at the same time. So, I’m ok with that!
I’ve been knitting like crazy. A cozy for the coffee press and matching hat for DD. A scarf in a fishnet pattern called Mary Poppin’s scarf. Easy and fun. Another pink llama lace scarf is begun as is a set of dishcolths and a cute scrubbie. I am trying to read each day and sit at the harp. But, let’s face it, the knitting is the passion! I must learn to do woven lace in order to relieve my arm, though.
My fantasy is to have a big, sunny studio with a floor loom in one corner by the windows, my spinning wheel and triangle loom in another corner and overstuffed sofas in rose patterns in the middle of the room.Shelves of books and patterns line one wall and a cedar closet holds my yarn. I would retreat to this space to design and work. I would love to do workshops in the space. Ah, one day. Right now, the spinning wheels are in the living room, knitting, books, bags and stash yarn are everywhere and I am “loomless”.
What’s your fantasy?
