My life gets very busy, and it&#8217;s easy to let my thoughts be filled with nothing but what I have to do.  I stopped and stood for a long time, looking at the waves and letting my feet sink into the sand.  It took a while for my brain to stop buzzing and become more calm.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, one thing I kept thinking was that I&#8217;d like to dye a yarn to match the color of the sand around my feet.  And I realized that I really, really like dyeing.  I&#8217;d like to explore it more.  I&#8217;d like to try more techniques and experiment with self-striping and develop new methods for achieving the results I want.  I&#8217;d like to do all the mental work involved in figuring out ways to get consistent results from batch to batch, and to produce in larger quantities.<\/p>\n<p>In short, I want to sell.  I actually like selling on the internet.  The trick now is acquiring the expertise, and finding the time, money, and space to make it happen.  I don&#8217;t know if this is something that I can do within even a year.  My life is busy as it is, and there&#8217;s not a whole lot that I can or want to let fall away.<\/p>\n<p>It may be a while, but I&#8217;m glad that I had the time to be still enough to learn this.<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing that I wanted to be sure I did this weekend was to take time for a walk on the beach.
