Last week during Superhero Camp, we helped a young person discover her super-power and develop her super-identity. Naturally, we've agreed to protect her private identity so that she may walk among us undetected. Here is her story: 

When she accidentally ate radioactive strawberry ice cream, Princess Icecream Cone came into being. Her super-power?

Every Saturday is Scrappy Saturday at SewGreen@Rochester

Help us reduce our inventory of scraps and 1-yard rolls of fabrics, and unmarked balls of yarn! Mondays through Fridays, the regular price for stuffing full one of our little cloth bags with any of these items is only $3. But on Scrappy Saturdays? The price is slashed to $1! If you bring your own grocery-size tote, our weekday price for stuffing that full is $10. On Scrappy Saturdays? Just $5!

As of April 6, SewGreen@Rochester has taken in 3 tons of your donations of sewing, knitting, crocheting and other needle-working materials. Thank you! Sales of these items help us pay the rent, keep the lights on, and provide scholarships to students of all ages.

Of course, there's a flip side to this happy news. Lately, we've been inundated by generous amounts of novelty yarn. In the interest of making room to display other items, and - you know - to breathe, we've begun packaging bags of fun fur, ladder and ribbon yarn, and so very much more.
