I've been keeping myself busy spinning and plying my handspun wool. Its a rewarding experience in so many ways. I have neglected my blog lately due to my desire to see how this wool and alpaca blend would work up. But I'm such a happy camper, I forgive myself...grin. 
This is the first 'lace weight' yarn I've ever spun on my Lendrum spinning wheel and I'm loving it!

It's beautiful!No need to apologize--ENJOY!
Hi Maggie Ann, it's me again Val from the High Peak in Derbyshire UK. In my last comment I said I once did have a bash at spinning - yours is how I always wanted mine to be .... unfortunately I could only do lumpy bumpy yarn, which I didn't like at the time, but now realise that it's popular in certain places! I am so glad you dropped in again at my blog and thank you for your encouragement.
But guess what? Oh my goodness! I have just seen that you have placed my little blog on your blogroll - I am so encouraged and excited about that! :o)
TTFN
Blessings! Val
Love your new hearder and your yarn is beautiful, what are you going to make with it?

i come from a line of spinners and weavers ... i still have a sweater, the wool used in it was spun by my mother from lamb's wool from finland ... it's over 40 years old and still looks new! and today i was visiting my aunt as she worked on some rugs on her weaving loom ... i love that type of homespun work, it is so comforting ... blessings on you as you enjoy your little corner of the world!
I just can't tell you how impressed I am having watched you start spinning from the little cd and a dowel. I'm still working on the gift you sent me. Your yarn is so beautiful.
