The definition of the word should includes the words obligation and duty. It is an active form of self criticism, indicating dissatisfaction with who and where we are. That alone should eliminate it from any of my tapestry thoughts. But...
I should weave upstairs in my studio, surrounded by my yarns and tools.
I should listen to classical music while I weave.
I should drink green tea from a hand thrown pottery mug while weaving.
I should maintain an open, generous, karmic mindset while I weave.
Or perhaps I could set up my Mirrix Zeus into a corner of the bedroom, listen to old Law and Order episodes, sip on a McDonald's diet coke, swear like a sailor and weave some tapestry. It ain't elegant but it is my life.

Beautiful hand dyed greens and some close to home inspiration.
A little encouragement from a tapestry mentor and I am back at the loom.
I have a sign in my office that says "Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful." These days our lives are all about embracing the unexpected and grabbing moments of joy whenever possible.
Thank you for reminding me, you know who you are!
Looking forward to seeing this as it progresses! Love to see the bits of your process.
