My spinning wheel just arrived in the shop!

I am very happy indeed. Of course, I can’t go get it because I don’t have the car, and I have too much work to head out to meet HRH at the school and pick it up on the way home. Tomorrow is orchestra, and doing the trip out and back is likely to exhaust me. Perhaps Thursday. It’s a bit more expensive than I anticipated because prices went up, the exchange isn’t great, and there’s all that tax, but I have the money aside, and the gift certificate my wonderful Witchy Editor sent me for my birthday will offset a bit of it, too. And then to stain it, and set it up, and spin!

But it is here, and I am very pleased.

I totally stole the title of the post from one of Pasley’s e-mails, as she has been chatting with me this morning about spindles and wheels as used in Sleeping Beauty retellings.
