A new beginning

I am weaving again. It’s been nearly a year.
Slowly my creative juices are flowing back. My confidence and energy are returning.

Beach pebbles and sunsets attract my attention again. Flowers, bees and butterflies hold my senses again. Colour and texture, shape and form are beginning to interest me again; at last.

I sat under my loom a week ago, bending in amongst the shafts, heddles and treadles, puzzled. “Did I ever know how to do this?” I think so.

So slowly a project is forming, gathering and beginning. I have another commission, sent by the spirits of encouragement and inspiration; it’s tugging at my soul. I am joyful, excited and terrified in equal measure.
