Ignoring The Softer Side

I've been ignoring all of my craft works for a couple of years now. Part of that has been the intense pressure to succeed on a couple of work projects. Part of it is because my eyesight changed drastically due to some medications, and even after they were discontinued my eyesight did not go back to normal. Part of it is because I have not gotten along with my newest loom as well as I'd hoped. (Yes, it's LOVELY to weave without pressure on my knees, but I miss the balance of the Schacht Wolf loom.)

I do miss the work in my hands. I have made all sorts of things with my sewing machine, but I miss throwing the shuttle or holding the needle. I miss the feel of deep purples or teals or reds flowing through my hands as they make up the web of the work.

What I've been doing for four years now is a Lot More programming. And work on some things that I can't talk about. We finally made the first level this week --our small startup was seeded by an Angel Investor. There have been some really crazy hours logged on this project.

I've also been away from the blog for more personal reasons. I did a favor for a friend a few years back (has it been THAT long??) and the creepiest group of people imaginable began stalking me online. Fine, whatever.

So, my loom and needlework stands are calling me. I've found glasses that help me work again. It's time to just put away the electronic stuff and dissolve into handwork.
