I thought I would be all clever and say things like "I work sooo many hours a day". Or "I progress just as much as I want". Or something equally untrue. Then I thought about being honest and talking about how I get distracted by butterflies and like to chat online in #QuiltChat and that I value my sitting around relaxing time as much as many other things in my life. And that my dog needs a walk, and my husband likes to see me.
But then I thought about what got in-the-way of my quilty progress the past 24 hours, and I realized, it is Adventure!
Life is an adventure to me. I am always turning over new rocks, poking my nose into new ideas, haring off to see something I have not yet seen, driving hundreds of miles just because I haven't been there yet.
Life is an adventure. And it can be exhausting.
Exhausting... when I do things like I did yesterday. I drove 8 hours (from Olympia WA to Northport WA) to start on a new path that the Universe (and Chrys) has offered. Then I drove home!
But! I am now a proud possessor of a Floor Loom!
For weaving!
This is an Allen-made 42 inch counterbalance loom, which I just unstrapped from the top of a friend's car. (Two hours of sleep, but who is counting?) (And that is my clawmonster Louis Cat.)
Now... I just have to figure out how it works!
See, adventure!

WOW! A loom!!! I've always wanted to learn but I think dh would kill me if I tried to convince him to get one-lol. Of course if I bring home another treadle to be worked on, it might happen anyway-
have a great 4th
I actually got my dh to make that epic journey with me! He is a keeper for sure!
Love your sense of adventure!
