When John picked up the mail today there was a package for me. My first thought was, “Who do I know in Troy, VA?” And then it clicked! I ripped open the package and found a lovely shawl from Chan! I was among the three she was spoiling for her Pay It Forward projects! I love it!!! It is so pretty, and I have yet to have a shawl for myself. And I am especially fond of the mini shawls. OH, please excuse my nasty hair; I just woke up about an hour ago.
I also finally finished my Plain Jane socks. I’m sorry that the picture is a bit blurry, but I just had to take it while wearing my new shoes!
Tomorrow I’m going to mail off the final of my three Pay It Forward projects, shop for the Longing For Spring Swap, and volunteer at C-CAP. I also need to get the needles to start Glee, which I hope to get to this week.
And now …. LOST!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!
Chan did an awesomely beautiful job on the shawl as you did on the socks
How cool! Chan is such a sweet person.
Gotta’ stop blog surfing with MIL looking on. We were okay until she realized *I* did the shawl. She has one “on order” for Mother’s Day…
I’m so glad you like it! Anne can tell you how I agonized over the colors, until I found that Hacho. Seeing it on you just cemented it! Hooray!
Love the socks too. MIL announced that they’re the perfect “jeans” socks.
yeah! so pretty. Watch for some socks next week!
Simply beautiful all the way around! Now I have no excuse to make myself one…..Can’t wait to see who gets you Longing for Spring package…..
Chan did a beautiful job on your PIF gift! It looks great on you!!
And those new shoes are adorable!!!
I plan on starting the house hunting process this coming week. I hope I have as much luck as you seemed to have. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Isn’t Chan THE best? I got my PIF from her today too… just about an hour ago actually… I just need to photo and get it up.
That shawl looks GREAT on you and I love the socks too!
[...] happy news, a couple of my parcels from Wednesday’s big ship-out have found their marks. Amy got her Pay it Forward gift, and seems pleased. I knew she’d love the colorway, but [...]
