Spinning!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The posty beeped her car horn so I go flying out and there was this huge package its my Spinning Wheel. So I then opened it what joy, and my D.H varnished all of the wood for me to keep it nice. We then started to put it together it took about two plus hours and a bit of elbow grease and patience but we did it.
It was finally done all I need to do is practice using the wheel and on Saturday I will have my first spinning lesson. I found a lovely lady who doesn't live to far from me who is going to teach me, I am so excited cant wait to start spinning anyway  the last photo is of  my beauty in all of her glory!

    Your spinning wheel is beautiful! Spinning is something I would love to learn. Maybe I will someday.

    Oh my! That is the exact wheel that I want someday! Lucky you! Spinning is so much fun. I had the great pleasure of being able to test out a wheel like this one at a fiber fair once. Instant love.

    Good luck on learning!

    That is beautiful! I think any craft is even more fun when you have nice tools to work with. Won't it be exciting to be able to knit with yarns that you have spun yourself?

    Spinning is so very addicting! I think it's the most relaxing and meditative of my fiber hobbies. You are going to love it!!! I can't wait to see your first yarn!

    Fun! I have my great grandmother's spinning wheel, and have always considered getting a new beautiful wheel of my own. Problem is, I know I would be addicted, and I don't have time for another hobby! Enjoy your lessons - I'm sure you will enjoy it :)
