No Gathering on Friday January 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Well, it seems that Seattle is getting some snow this week. AND it will fall on us on Friday the 12th. So, we will not be meeting at Stoup on this coming Friday the 12th. Stay home and do your fibery thing where it is warm and dry!

See you the following week.

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Here is hope that in 2024 our dreams of peace will be achieved and our personal dreams will be fulfilled. 

Here are some things to divert you until 2024.

A cute video of the healing power of knitting (and crochet too, of course!):

This artist, Lorna Hamilton-Brown is an inspiration and a mover! Scroll through her website for some awesome art and fibery things. (Lorna was the "bird" square maker in the above video):
