It's a simple concept but one not a lot of people do.
Imagine if everyone did one good deed per day, in other words, passed it forward.
It doesn't have to be a big thing or an expensive thing, it just has to be something.
I try to do a little good deed as often as I can. Whether it be not charging a 200% mark up on wool I sell or picking up some rubbish off the street when I am out walking. Every little thing makes the world a better place to live in.
I was going to spout how I did something pretty awesome recently but I think I'll just leave it as is.
Do something nice for someone every day and your life will be enriched beyond belief.

Stitch Markers..
I remember 6 years ago, going to the Australian Sheep and Wool Show and not being able to find many stitch markers at all. In fact, I only found one stall selling them and they were about $16 for 4 and they were made in America!!
Well off home I went, horrified and started making my own. As these enterprises usually go, I made some to sell too and have since supplied my own spinning meeting and many others with them. I started using clasps and now everyone has jumped on the idea....so much for not stealing others ideas, there's not much honour out there it seems.
I had a few people asking for dainty markers for using while knitting lace so I have endeavoured to fill that gap. I've been using non magnetic hematite for years now. It's awesome stuff, always cool to touch. So anyway, I have some small magnetic Hematite beads and have made some cute markers out of them.
I am hoping that when they are put in your knitting case they will clump together and attract the other markers so you can just pull out a clump instead of fossicking around looking for the ones you want.
I am also making some standard semi-precious stone markers for Lace working. These are the first lot and I have some lovely Lilac Jasper beads as well.
Needless to say, all my stitch markers are hand made by myself. I also use them so I know how good they are. If you're interested in buying some they are here at OZ HANDMADE under Woolz'N'yarnZ.
