This simple, 10-yard warp has been on my loom for exactly a year now. Thirteen months ago, this would have been a day's worth of weaving for me. Then came the broken leg......
It's been a year of travails, my husband has been working only quarter time since last Christmas; the company he works for not only cut his hours but also cut out all of his benefits, including health insurance. I have been barely able to get around since the slip on the ice. My creative muse went on an extended vacation, and didn't even send a postcard. I could go on and on.
And yet, we have had great blessings. Our garden was very productive this year. The freezer is stuffed with vegetables and venison for the year. In spite of the loss of income, we were able to pay down all of our bills and now are completely out of debt for the first time since our children were born. I had surgery in September, and I am now able to walk two miles without much discomfort.
And today, I finished the warp.

Hi Kathy,
Congratulations on so many things, your positive attitude, your ability to cope with what has obviously been a rough year, your successful surgery and finally on finishing the red warp. Good wishes for a smoother, pain-free new year.
And to think the year started with what you described as a "sprain." So much for your abilities as a diagnostician.

What a triumph to finish that warp! And fill your freezer from the garden with a slow-healing leg--I know the huge expenditure of time and energy that must have involved. And all the rest! It's so nice to hear your voice back in the blogging world again. If I see your muse around this neck of the woods, I will tell that bad girl enough gallivanting and to send you a line!
Thank you! It feels really good to feel good again.
And your daughter got a kiss from Beluga today. :)
I'm so glad to hear you happier again. Isn't that feeling of a full freezer wonderful? All my love...
