My beloved partner and I are teaming up in an MS-fighting adventure. She is bicycling 100 miles in the National MS Society Bike-to-the-Bay, I am having a Crafty Raffle for those who donate to her ride.
As I don't want to Cross The Streams of people partner and I know, our families know, and dreamwidth yadda yadda, I made a tumblr for all the details and things.
Right now I am overjoyed, because so far we have raised $120 in two hours. In two hours of the Tumblr being active, people, and I hadn't even posted to Dreamwidth. My partner's goal is $300, which we are hoping to massively surpass. I think we can totally do this.
Something I'm not posting on the Tumbles, at least at the moment: I'm doing this for a lot of folks I know with MS, but mainly for
jumpuphigh . I don't know where she is right now; I was supposed to hear from someone who knew her in the outside world...but last I heard she was in hospice with MS. For those who have never known jumpuphigh, she (is? was?) the founder of
bitesizedcleaning , of which I am currently the delinquent co-moderator. She taught me so much about knitting, about cleaning in manageable pieces, about making things manageable for my partner's asthma. I don't even. So this, for me, is for her, wherever she may be.
On a lighter note, here's some yarn I'm spinning for the raffle:

A 2-ply cream and red-orange ball of yarn next to a top-whorl drop spindle partly filled with a single-ply of the red-orange yarn, below which is some of the raw red-orange fibre; all on a brown wooden table. The cream is alpaca, the red-orange delicacy is silk and BFL.
Tumblr with Details and Updates
