I have spent the morning going through my carefully annotated sampling. Originally I had thought I was going to be working next with the last group of samples I had woven with gold as the background weft. I had thought I was going to work with the ideas there, but using a painted warp.
As I continued working with the samples my eyes kept returning to one of 
Then I figured out two things:
- I am ready to weave a major piece
- I should begin with a smaller trial piece to explore how to use warp painting.
- I will do the major piece first.
So now I am happily busy working the design out.
But I must not forget the towels for our daughter……

Well Miss Peg. Aside from the obvious reasons for your earlier "resistance," perhaps part of the unconscious side of it, was that your artist self is ready to move on to that big piece! "Enough with the samples already," she cries from within.
How exciting!!
Go for it!

Thank you for all your encouragement, Jane. I really appreciate it.
