A place to post those one off things that come across all of our feeds. Need help picking buttons in the next 15 minutes? Post it. Random sighting of Kay and Ann in the wild? Post it. Picture of a new kitten/baby/grandbaby/puppy/etc? Post it.
This is a place for the things that don’t really need a thread of their own. There’s a fabulous yarn estate sale to benefit ALS care coming up which I will post as soon as this is approved. I may even share my prom picture with Jeff Bridges!
Happy posting!
Prom with Jeff Bridges?? What!
Hi everyone,
Earlier this year my friend Benita died from ALS. Benita was, in many ways, a fierce, warrior princess. She was a doctor, a midwife, an advocate, and an activist. She was also a kind and gentle soul, a good friend to all, and a kick ass fiber artist. I often say that I have an epic stash. Benita’s stash went beyond epic. It wasn’t a Stash with a capital s, it was a STASH in all caps. It has been estimated at over 10,000 skeins and it is all on sale this Sunday with the proceeds going to fund the work of the very special people who provide support services for those with ALS and their families. If you’re anywhere within travelling distance of New Rochelle, NY, I hope you’ll come by, pick up some great yarn, and bring much needed funds to a very worth non-profit. Details are below. I’ll be there with until at least 2 pm helping out.
