We have been doing so much weaving and sewing etc… because Erin is busy with her Farming block. Jenna decided that she wanted to make a drop spindle. She made this one herself from a download on the internet about how to make a drop spindle from a dowel and an old cd. She did this all herself and then started spinning! Wow, I was amazed.

Here is a web site that explains how to make a spindle from a cd and a dowel:
