pay it forward - check!
Over a year ago I committed myself to the "pay it forward" wave. I signed up on someone's blog, that someone was supposed to send three people a handmade gift within 365 days and then those three people (myself included) posted the same offer on their own blog - and so on. Okay, well, it's been more like 395 days but I did it. I have been feeling incredibly guilty about not being more timely - but alas - my pay-it-forwardees should have something today or Monday. Hence:
sweetheart washcloths by Susan B. Anderson
I know, it's a repeat picture. This was part of my pay-it-forward though. I also included goodies from several etsy sellers I *heart* - spindlecat studio and a new one to me, Lippincott Soap Company. Esty is killing me with all of the wonderful goodies over there. I wonder if I could start working for roving at Pigeonroof Studios.
I've also been spinning a bit too.
HelloYarn in Red Velvet Cake
I spin with no final project in mind...anyone else do this? How does it end up for you? I'm so darned aimless. I do have a Funky Carolina handspun hat swap in March, so I am about to depart from my usual lack of planning.
But til then, let me close out my randomness - saw Slumdog Millionaire last night. I just loved it. There were some tough parts - seeing children living in squalor is hardly appealing to the mass public, and there were some slowish parts - but the story was wonderfully woven. Lets see was Oscar thinks tomorrow.

Got it today and love, love, love it all! I don't know about the soap though...it smells so good I might accidently take a bite! Thanks so much!
Good for you! That is such pretty work.
I loved loved loved Slumdog Millionaires. I can't wait for the Oscars tomorrow!
Oh me, oh me, I spin with absolutely no project in mind. Which works, largely since I seem to give my handspun away as gifts.
That said, I don't think I've accomplished anything get as yummy as that Red Velvet goodness. It's looking beautiful!
I just wanted to say "Thank you" for mentioning me in your blog! You are so kind!
OK, That's it! I'm going to see Slumdog soon!!! I just keep hearing all sorts of good things about it. I can't resist much longer.
Stunning handspun, and adorable hearts. I don't think anyone is going to squabble over a couple of weeks. :)
I'm off to check out the movie you saw.
love your hearts, so sweet: )

I have to see that movie, my son saw it and thought it was wonderful.

Your spinning has really gotten, um, GORGEOUS! If I even thought for one moment that I have the patience it takes, I might invest in a wheel and classes. Alas...
Nice gifties--don't worry about the being a tad bit late. I am sure your downstream recipents will be absolutely thrilled.
Love your spinning--you are quite good... makes me want to learn:) I love handspun!
Those washcloths are just so adorable. The recipients are very lucky! And your newest spinning project looks AMAZING.
I love that yarn, mmmm. Wait, are you supposed to spin with a project in mind? I don't think I've ever done that. I always spin mindlessly. The few times I've tried to spin for a project I've gotten bored. Oops.
Love that handspun - it's absolutely gorgeous! :)
And those washclothes are just lovely.
The hearts are lovely.
