Spindle City

Remember the beautiful hand-painted spindle that my kids got me for Christmas, after seeing my posted admiration for it on Facebook? I tried to buy that spindle, but when Nancie McCraw, of BadFaerie Designs,  told me that it had been sold already (crafty crafty kids...), I ordered another, to be delivered whenever it was ready.

It came today.

Is it not glorious?

Even the sides are beautiful!

Sigh...

And a size comparison, with the bead tahkli thrown in just for fun. I can't wait to get to work with it!
