Dvere za vanocnimi svatky se zavrely a leden vnesl pohodu "obycejnych" dnu. Mam zase vice casu delat veci ktere mne bavi. A abych vyvazila vysedavani u kolovratku a dalsi sedave zaliby, vyrazim denne na 4-5 kilometrove prochazky. Pocasi nam nastesti preje.  A protoze po "vyslapu" prijde vhod neco tepleho ale rychleho, tady je recept  na "plnene topinky".  Na olivovem oleji osmahneme cibulku a pridame nakrajene houby (ja mela zmrazene lišky). Okorenime podle chuti a dusime az jsou houby mekke. Mezitim si pripravime platky chleba a syra (co dum da, u me to byl cedar :)) Kazdy platek chleba z vnejsi strany namazeme maslem  a na vnitrni  polozime platky syra.  Pridame houbovou napln, chleby pritiskneme k sobe a  na rozehrate panvi  opeceme do zlatova.  Je to mnamka!

 Now that the holidays are over, things are back to normal. I have more time to do stuff I like once again and to balance the time I spend sitting at my spinning wheel or doing other crafts, I started walking longer distances. 4-5 kilometers a day. When I come home I want something quick and warm and comforting. This grilled cheese sandwich is just it. It is a regular grilled cheese, but with a little twist. I fried some onions and mushrooms ( I had frozen chanterelles mushroom ) seasoned to taste and filled the bread (with the cheese) before I fried it. Yammy!

Vlnění....
Fun with fiber....

Uz je to vic jak mesic od meho minuleho prispevku, cas leti! Uzivame si hezke pocasi a prochazky po okoli, zahrada a sklenik se uz take probouzi.

It's been more then a month since my last post, time flies!  We are enjoying nice weather and  I love walks  through our neighborhood. Our  greenhouse is "waking up" too. 

Posledni "varka". Jeste nez jsem pred par dny onemocnela, stihla jsem jeste umotat tohle pradenko. Hlidala jsem o vikendu vnuka ktery byl nemocny a tad sama dva dny lezim. Nastesti jemu uz je lepe.

Before I've got sick after babysitting our grandson this weekend, I finished this batch.  He is much better now, but  I am in bed  with the same cold and stuffy nose he had :(

Spindle 2 - Vřetánko 2

Shodou okolnosti byla u nas v klubu pratel vlny akce, kdy k nam prichazi prodejci  a to hned druhy den po tom, co jsem  koupila me prvni vřetánko.  Neodolala jsem  a tak u mne  naslo "novy domov"  vřetánko cislo 2. Pracuje se snim trosku jinak, misto v misticce se toci ve vzduchu. Obarvila jsem take mou prvni varku vlny a  pomalu spradam ( a stradam ) material,  abych se konecne mohla pustit do pleteni.

I bought spindle number 2 at our Woolgatherers guild meeting, the next day I've got my "supported " spindle. This one is  a drop spindle and it works beautifully. I also dyed my first batch of fleece and I like the way it looks after I spun it. Ohh, the possibilities.....I am working on producing enough yarn to start knitting.

 Some odd bits and ends 

Blog Magic with hook and needles navstevuji uz nejaky cas a moc se mi libi  Vendulcino hackovani.  Pro ty, kteri jeji blog a praci neznaji prinasim alespon malou ukazku a doporucuji zaskocit na navstevu. Ne nemam zaplaceno tady reklamovat jeji vyrobky, jsem jen  obdivovatelka jeji napaditosti a zrucnosti :)

I visit Magic with hook and needles blog for a while now.  I like Vendula's whimsical creations and I suggest you go and see more of her work ( this is not a payed endorsement  :) ) 

Dalsi kreace, ktera me zaujala jsou tyto kocky do oken. Vtipne a nenarocne na pleteni (popis v anglictine) jiste vykouzli usmev nejenom na detskych tvarickach.
