Upcoming list view

The date is being changed back to Friday since that date seems to be better for everyone. Please bring some kind of food to share, and put what you are bringing in the comment section of your RSVP. If you don't cook or are not able to bring a food dish, then you are more than welcome to bring utensils, plates, ice, napkins, beverages and chips etc to bring. I also am putting a limit on the number of people being able to attend, if you would like to attend, even if you are wait listed, please RSVP. The number may or may not change, you never know.

As for the location, since it is at a members home,we will not be posting any of their information on the site, you must attend the meeting on December 3 to get the directions. If you are not able to attend the meeting to get the directions, please contact me.

We will also be doing our "white elephant" gift exchange, same rules as last year. There is a $10 limit and all gifts must be crochet related. If you want to participate in the gift exchange, you must bring a gift.

Please contact me if you have any questions. We have such a good time when we hang out, I encourage you to try and come. So if you would like to attend, I would suggest you RSVP now for you and any guests you would like to bring.

As always, happy hooking

Catherine

Hey Hookers!

I missed this last year, but heard it was a blast!
I can't wait to go and I hope you'll join me! =)

Now you may ask, what in the world is Distaff Day?! It's a full day of fiber-related fun!

Here's the rundown of Distaff Day’s Events:
10:00 -12:00 - Meet, Greet, Coffee, Goodies,
Spin, Knit, Crochet, belly dance!
12:00 - 1:00 – Lunch (please bring your own)
1:00 – 1:30 - “Mini Tin” Exchange
1:30 - 2:30 - Fashion Show/Show & Tell
2:30 - 3:30 - ‘Yankee Swap’
3:30 -4:00 - Time with Fiber Friends

Here's a list of what you should bring:
1. Spinning Wheel, Knitting, Weaving, Beading, etc. (whatever you have and/or want to work on)
2. Bag Lunch (There is a Publix and Albertson’s close by with a deli if anyone forgets.)
3. Coffee or Tea mug - The Hosting Guilds will provide the beverage and treats.
4. Item for the “Yankee Swap” Put in a plain paper bag and seal so the contents cannot be viewed. This item should have a value of up to $20.00 and should also be something that if you get you will be thrilled!!!
(Please put your name inside your swap item, so we can give credit where credit is due!)
5. Items for the “Sale Table” Just like last year. Items that you have decided you might not want and would like to sell. Put a tag on the item with your name and price.
6. FREE TABLE – Some people prefer just to give things away, so get to the “Distaff Day” early because “the early bird gets the worm!”
7. The Fashion Show /Show and Tell– Bring an item you made this year and share with us your experience and talent!
8. NEW THIS YEAR! “Mini Tin Swap”
(1)Get a mini tin, such as an Altoid tin, candy tin, etc. It must fit in a small brown paper bag.
(2) Decorate the tin! You can go online to get ideas. Beads, felt, paint, polymer clay -- go to town!!
(3) Fill it with anything that fits -- Candy, stitch markers, needles, stamps, gift card, earrings, buttons, etc.
(4) Bring your tin to Distaff Day in a small brown paper bag. Put some kind of symbol, number, (not your name) so you recognize your bag, but no one else will. After lunch everyone that brought a tin, will receive one in exchange.

It costs only $6 to join in the fun, but all activities are voluntary, so feel free to participate in all or none! (Ooo, that rhymes!! Hee hee =)

Smiles,
Lily
