Getting off my bum

I've been getting of my bum and Doing Shtuff. It's quite a good feeling.

I'd spun this stuff months ago, and finally got round to navajo plying it:

Then I plied this too (with my tres coo andean plying tool):

Now with a few more bobbins freed up, I thought I'd use up some of the plain cream stuff that I had lying around the place and spun a nice fluffy lofty chunky wool. I'm going to dye it and make a chunky scarf/dickie type thing:

THEN! because I was on SUCH a roll, I thought I'd spin up the floofy ball of sliver which had been dyed in my Jenny Greenteeth colourway. Yum. Sooooo delicious. I'm still trying to decide how I'm going to ply this but I'm tending toward navajo so I get the nice boldness of colour accentuated. Self striping handspun. Oh yeah.

And I didn't stop there. Oh no! One of my favourite winter dishes is pot pie, and I'd just bought 6 little ramekins for making PAH. So I made a rich thick gooey stoo, and stuck it in little pots, and put pastry over the top, brushed it with milk and baked it good. Mmm, pah. Spinning and eating. It doesn't get much better than this for a lush, laid back weeknight. Add a few glasses of rose and a couple of Gray's Anatomy episodes in there and I'm in heaven. *puurrrrrr*
