Njoya presents-"The Harlem Knitting Circle"

Paid Knitting Opportunity in New York!

The following is an ad from a woman looking for knitters in NY!  Please email her directly for any information regarding this job.  Go to her website which is below.  Remember.., tell her Njoya sent you!(wink!)

Hi Ladies!

I recently started a green knitting business using gently used plastic grocery bags which are hand knit into totes and handbags.  Due to a recent Daily News article and a segment on Fox 5 Good Day New York, things are taking off and I've been reaching out to the local knitting community to freelance with Daisy's Bags.  I am paying my freelancers between $30-50/bag.  If you are interested, I would love to get you on board.  Kindly reply to this email and I will set up another orientation meeting to go over everything.
Please check out the press on my website at www.daisysbags.com
thanks!

I just had to share this Mother's Day message an special friend,(we've known each other since the 1st grade!) sent me:

Njoya,

I am wishing you the very best this Mother's Day.
I hope that you share in the strength and blessings that
our mother's and mother's mothers who have brought us here to this moment.
I can see the strength and grace of a long line of strong mothers in you.

In the way you have touched lives, nurtured spirits and helped people,
you are a mother already.

Always,

Greg

Gosh!  That makes me feel good and rejuvenates me to go the distance!
