Full Freezer = Time To Create

It's peach season and I loovvve fresh peaches, so on Saturday off to the orchard I went.  The guy in the house does not eat peaches.  Silly fella.  But I guess I can allow him that silliness because I, knowing I am the only one who will eat these peaches, bought a big basketful.  Knowing I won't bake just for me.  I've been pigging out on enjoying these juicy fruits for breakfast every day since.  That's about 6 peaches gone. They are ripening fast.  Kitchen smells delish but ... well.  You know.  I have to do something with them all.  Other than aggravate my gut.  My plan: slice and freeze so I can indulge in the middle of winter.  Hot oat bran cereal with sliced peaches, cinnamon and brown sugar.  Mmmmmmm...

But my freezer is full.  Not with food.  With roving of course.  Protecting against possible bugs.  Come on.  I know I'm not the only one who has non-food things in my freezer.  Some of you I may not want to know what you've got in there but fiber fans?  Yeah, I know there are others of you with roving, sliver, batts, yarn, maybe a whole sweater? in your freezer for the same reason. 

I need that space to save my peaches so I pulled this out of the freezer last night.  It's chocolate rambouillet blended with dyed angora.  Mmmmmmm....

Any guesses what I'm doing with it?

nuno felting? I have a partial? fleece from a friend in the freezer. some carded, some unprocessed in any way. It is an Icelandic or Icelandic cross. I don't have any fiber prep skills and am at a bit of a loss at what to do.

I am currently amassing peaches too. :-) Make ice cream out of it. It's a refreshing treat in this heat!

Looks like a fair exchange to me. I miss the peach trees we had planted in SLC before we left - I only got one year out of fruit of them, but OMG - heavenly!

Canning is a wonderful way to preserve your peaches without having to sacrifice freezer space. (Since we all know that keeping roving free of bugs is much more important than peaches).

What are you spinning?

Oh - and the peaches and nectarines have been *so* good this summer. I've been being a peach-pig myself :)

Too funny. My freezer is full of wool on a rotating basis. The husband sighs and says nothing.
