My response to May's TIF.
Terse and self assured it has taken me years of agonizing, questioning, justifying and being apologetic about what i do.
Times when i dreaded filling forms with the deadly occupation question. i studied literature and became an EFL teacher, but that was not what i was, that was a small part of the cake.
Always felt and said that i am at my very best when weaving. i can think, create and transform reality into something else either functional or artistic.

Being a weaver is complicated! I checked on the challenge blog and was a bit tempted, but decided I didn't have the time. Thanks for sharing!
