I got a coat of woodwash onto my new spinning chair. Hurrah. [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/3956938]My 365 blip today, at nybblets, is my film camera[/url]. I’m adding to the stable and have an EOS 6D arriving soon. Not soon enough. I want to play!

The Bin Run
The year is moving on and it is now already light when I put the bin bags out on a Monday morning. It was extremely windy this morning but dry at last. The light was beautiful – a soft pearly pink.
Danish, not pastry
Our new spinning wheel arrived yesterday. I have been coating the parts with Danish Oil before we build the wheel later this week. Can’t wait to get to grips with it – it’s a Country Spinner 2 from Ashford and the bobbins are whoppers – they take a whole kilo of yarn! The wheel will …
and so it goes on…
We are having another “fresh” day today. This was taken a good hour after high tide. 90 minutes after high tide the sea is still making its way into our garden. The road cannot be seen for seaweed deposits. The weather is at least cutting us some slack today and we have seen the sun. …

Canvas and string
Possibly the first of many. I am passionate about these wee string shears. I can see them coming to my rescue on thjose days that threaten to be otherwise blip-free.
Rainy Days and Mondays
I may be the only person on the planet who can turn out carded batts that are lumpier and bumpier than the fibre that they started with. Sigh. This is Rainy Days and Mondays – a blend of 3 greys, 2 blues and a green. It is entirely possible that the prevailing weather is having …
Well, that’s that plan scuppered
Today’s blip was going to be my tea-time eggy bread sizzling happily in my brand-new colour-changing frying pan from Lakeland. Lovely crusty bread made yesterday by my own fair hand, golden yolked eggs straight from the ladies in my garden, pale blue pan turning to white… Alas, when I went to unpackage the pan and …
