Before the baby was born, I had several weaving jobs lining up, with more potential on the way. Baby wraps were popular, woven stuffed animals, and people wanting dishtowels. I have had a lot of random people contact me for work, and I used to take every job I could find and think I was pretty lucky for having it. However, right before the baby was born, I became completely burned out on weaving. Partly it was my hands going numb from the water weight, but it was also because all I was weaving were things for other people, and not from inside my own head and heart. And the money was only somewhat enjoyable. I have decided to weave only for myself now and limit the jobs I take on. Also, another change that I have noticed in myself lately is that my warps are a lot shorter. When I would have put a 7-8 yard dishtowel warp on, now I'm choosing 3 yards and making fewer. This is partly because my time is more limited, and also my attention span ...
