Christmas Drum Carder Fund

Hey Folks,
There's a new button over on the right for donations to the Christmas Drum Carder Fund. Originally my younger sis was going to orchestrate getting monies together from family members and friends to go towards a drum carder for me as a Christmas gift; however, she is extremely busy with her college courses and has asked me to place this button on my blog. Personally, I now feel like I'm begging and I'm a little uncomfortable with it BUT this probably is the easiest way. Sometimes technology weirds me out.

For those who do not know what a drum carder is here ya go: it's a device to prepare fiber for spinning. Exciting, eh?!?

I know that most people have no clue what to get me as gifts so I'm helping everyone out...online...in front of the world. Seriously, I feel so stupid doing this. I'm not expecting to pay for a whole drum carder this way and I'm totally prepared to pay for at least half of it myself. I'm planning on a major yarn stash sale on eBay to help fund it. If anyone out there is a yarny...I'll announce on this blog when I finally post items. Any extra $$ from the destash/christmas fund will go towards a Charkha spinning wheel.

Okay, so that's about it. I feel totally lame.

Yarny surprises

So I just received a package of yarny goodness and I cannot post on here what it is. Oh it is just killing me!!! Part of the package is a surprise for Ms. M. so until she knows what it is....mum is the word. ACK!!

Speaking of yarny surprises - I have found the coolest site EVER!! http://yarngiftbouquets.com/
They send YARN BOUQUETS!! Holy moly!! The prices really aren't that extravagant if you take into consideration: #1) The price of a good skein of sock yarn #2) The price of flower bouquets.
Think about it...which would you rather have.... flowers that die or sock yarn. Yeah, that's what I thought....SOCK YARN!
