What a beautiful way to live! I could use a day with other women, working our craft, in the shade of mature tree out in the country. I enjoyed the video and the rest of the site!

Laura, I do wish I was there. I almost took a spinning class this year, but missed the only day they were doing it. I can't wait to give it a try.

Laura, that does look very peaceful. I sure wish you were closer. I have my great grandmother's old wheel. It needs some new round pieces for the spindles before I can actually use it. Do you know where I could find some? Or someone to make some for me?

Hello Kris!!! Wow you have your great grandmothers wheel!!! You are a very blessed woman!! I dont have mine great grandmothers wheel, I dont know what happen to it. Any ways Ebay has alot of spinning wheel parts on there. I have bought parts to the spinning wheels that I have. Just make sure it is a good seller and that it is in good condition. Hope this helps if not let me know. :)

Thanks, Laura. What would I look under when I go there? Spinning wheels? I'll try that and see.

I did see a spindle that looks just like mine. Now I have no idea how to bid on ebay. I guess I have to sign up for it. I'll look into it. Lots of really nice wheels there too.

Laura,
Your spinning wheels are beautiful! It is my dream to get one, one of these days. For now I spin on a drop spindle, which is very time consuming. Such a beautiful day spent with your Mama, thank you for sharing!

Margaret it may be a bit slower but you can spin anywhere at anytime. I love spinning on mine when I have to sit in stupid meetings, when a passenger in a car, or even when I stand out with my goats and move them around while grazing in the back yard. I sure get a lot done in all those wasted moments... Enjoy!
