couldn't stand it

[marnie]

not having an auction for the FAA auctions so i whipped up a soaker using some yarn I had already dyed for Maya. oh well, it's only yarn, right?

Anyway, I made it a 50% auction instead of a 100% auction because it's all I can do right now, so my question is, how do i handle it at the end, provided someone actually bids on it? have them pay 50% to jesse's fund directly and 50% to me? or everything to me and i give 50% to jesse's fund? I feel kind of cheesy doing it this way but i figure it's better than nothing.

If this happens by some freak of nature to go way above and beyond retail everything above my costs will go to Jesse's fund.

Marnie, that soaker is adorable! I hope you sell the pattern some time. I get so excited to try something new!

I think you should have them pay whatever they can directly to the fund, and the rest to you. Unless they have no CC.

[marnie]

gotcha pam, thanks.

i'm working on writing up the pattern (i'm not so hot at explaining it since i just kind of do it by intuition by now!). I should send you what i've got and see if you can figure out what I'm trying to say!

[pamelamama]

I'd be happy to help you get a pattern ready for sale! That'd be fun!

After my vacation ;)

[marnie]

speaking of your vacation, when do i get to see you?

[pamelamama]

I'm flying into Newark tomorrow night! I think you have my cell number?

[marnie]

i do, i was wondering if you had a schedule/plan and had already pencilled me in for a certain day!

[littleturtlemama]

Hey, hey, HEY chickas! If ya'll are meeting up, I wanna come play too (If you'll have me) I think a day trip up to NY is definitely in my future. AJ's even got off from school on Wed, it's fate ;)

Oh, and Marnie, I bid on your soaker! LOVE IT!!!

[mommomrebecca]

OOOO! I *love* those colors!

How come no one lives by me?? snow
Darn boonies. If someone comes to visit me, you can see some brand new baby goats my goat neighbor had.

[imonion]

that is a beautiful soaker, I am admiring the pleats!

[Susan_WW]

OK, I live in the NY Metro area too and I wanna play!!!!

Oh, and I had to bid on your soaker too (sorry T :bag )

[marnie]

thanks for the bids, lovely ladies. i can hand-deliver at our get-together!

We can use my apartment as home base to dump bags and execute diaper changes etc. I'm in the East Village and close-ish to subways and very close to busses.

[littleturtlemama]

I think I'm going to drive up tuesday night and stay at my parent on LI. This way I can take the train in and not have to battle NYC streets with my new van :eek

Susan, I'm thinking your on LI, too. What train line are you on, we can meet up on the train if your on the babylon branch. I'll be getting on at massapequa.

[Susan_WW]

I'm on LI, but on the Oyster Bay branch. Can we meet up at Penn Station? Is this going to be tomorrow (Wed?) Email me at susan@wonderfulwoolies.com and we can arrange a meeting time :)

[marnie]

tomorrow (wed) Maya has playgroup at 4. if it's nice we all just go to a park so everyone's welcome. Moms can sit, chat, and knit while kids burn off the pent-upness of the day. and trust me, these days my kid has some SEIOUS pent-upness.

[littleturtlemama]

Eep, I meant next wed! I can't do tomorrow, I've got to lead LLL inteh AM, then my mom's actually coming here tomorrow night to visit for a few days. Can we do next week, Pam you'll still be around right?

[Susan_WW]

Ack! I got so excited about meeting up with everyone that I totally forgot that Nicole has a class at the YMCA at 3pm. Its her first class too, so I would hate for her to miss it :(

I hope you mamas have a great time!! Take lots of pictures for me!!!!!

[Susan_WW]

Next week would be better for me too. Pam, let us know how long you'll be around for OK?
