Oh, Sarah. Nothing is more disquieting than moving house. But I find the sound of your paper weft sliding against wool warp oddly soothing. You could make loads of videos like this and marketing them to the ASMR aficionados.
Sarah, I feel like you are on old friend! I so love to see your name pop up in my email. Thank you for inspiring , entertaining and generally making me feel better about life!
Having just moved from Seattle to Albuquerque I feel your boxes and books! The back and forthing is wonderful and keeps you, and us, grounded. I wish you the best with the move and that Beryl finds her peace also.
Swimming laps across your loom seems soothing. It reminded me of a harp, sort of twangy.... maybe if the strings were different lengths? This is really happening, isn't it? I was looking at a map of Idaho, trying to imagine where you and Beryl will land, near to that dear little curly one.
I must be blind, I’m not seeing the Beryl button, where is it located? Great idea, by the way. I moved 3 years ago, was away one of those years, I’m still unpacking. Must not have parted with enough belongings before the previous move. Of course, if I parted with the big looms, spinning wheels, and more,… but not ready to do that yet. Take care of yourself, and enjoy the adventure!
I'm not settled yet, and won't be for a few weeks, but the place does have lovely windows. It's one of the reasons I chose it. Even a few low ones so Beryl can have a view.
Oh the sounds of the tap-tap-taping on that tight warp, the easy flow of your hands picking, I am craving that feeling. Will be a few weeks before I can, due to helping my husband recover from heart surgery. Planning on a piece for ANWG to display with the theme of 'Yakima'. And looking forward to doing the tap-tap-tapping myself on a tight warp. 😉
This is a really beautiful post. I love your weaving, narrative and drawings! Have a lovely day. 💜

A new future for me. Makes me wonder how the acoustics will be in my new place...
Oh my. Daunting. Thank goodness for Beryl and fiber.
Exactly!

And thank you for these lovely words.

So very helpful to remember that there is another side to all this. Thank you for modeling it!
Good luck with all of this Sarah. Also, that is the best button ever!
Just had to click it.
You are also allowed biscotti...
Mmmm.... What a great idea. Biscotti will see us through. Thanks (now where is a biscotti emoji when you need one?)

Twangy. Excellent way to describe that deliicous sound -- one I probably won't hear for a a while now as all the stuff is packed up!
Happy trails, and smooth settling in!
Three videos of backing and forthing is not too many!
I could watch and listen to your weaving for hours.
May the move be smooth and may you & Beryl find peace in your new place.
Now that tickles me to death. Thanks!

Wait, you're movin??
yup! Right in the throes as I type...

I found the biscuit button just under the video of Beryl
But are you settled in yet to a new place? Does it have good windows?

Back and forthing makes everything ok
The videos weren't overkill! I found the sound and the movement so soothing. Thank you.

Yay! Well done on making the ‘Buy Beryl a Biscuit’ supporter button. I managed to get it to work first time 🙌🏼👏🏼🐾🐾
I hope the move is smooth for you both and look forward to how the experience is woven into your words and images.
YAY. And thanks -- for hte idea, for clicking the button, and for pointing it out to others. Much appreciated!
