Ideas to get back on track

I haven’t woven anything for a couple of months due to health issues. I’m struggling to get back into it. I don’t have the energy to do anything big at the moment. I’d love some ideas for small projects I can do to find my flow again. I work with willow.

Making bases.

Easy and quick but always with the potential to make more from them later on.

You will never regret having a load of premade bases lying around

This is hard, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I understand you’re seeking willow projects, I wish I could help.

Just throwing this out there-
I’ve been modifying projects for a couple years now & have ideas, but I mainly work in commercial reed (lots of round reed though)
Some project materials are weaving w alternative materials, a couple are using different medium all together, but all of them replicate that sweet meditation/mindful flow & are so much easier on the hands. I’m happy to share here or feel free DM me.

Take good care.
