At Home in Georgia

I'm going to get my spinning wheel tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the big day.  I've been saving my money and being patient.  Since we've been saving for a van, I couldn't rationalize taking "van money" to fund another craft!  So I took the $90 I made knitting dishcloths that a woman ordered for a church group and I set that aside.  Then I got $25 from my mom paying me back for something I'd ordered for her.  And I waited.  A little later, my Aunt Adele (whom I haven't seen in years) sent me a sweet note and a $25 money order toward my wheel.  This week, I worked two extra days and figured the last $60 I could go ahead and take to make up the rest of the money for the wheel.  Well, today, my brother and sister-in-law told me they were going to help me get my wheel and send me some money too.  I'm so glad I waited.... sure, I could have taken a day's pay and gone and gotten my wheel sooner, but it is going to be so much more special to me because I know that people who love me helped me get it and because I didn't take away from a more important project for instant gratification.  :)
