I can be nice for only so long.

Here are the totes I’ve been working on. The ends aren’t woven in yet, and the dogs insisted on helping with the photos, which is why many of them are out of focus.
For Cora
The shawl:
This is what selfish looks like:
Sienna will lay in front of the food and water for hours just so no one else can have any. Bitch.

Here’s my latest project:
I’m working on 5 or 6 of these (different colours & sizes) at the same time, hoping one will fit me. Everyone who sees it says, “Oh, you’ll have to wear a shirt under it.” Really?! I thought I’d just let my boobs hang out. IDIOTS!
This one is extra small and is a gift for one of my readers.

I crocheted two sweaters, one for me and one for my daughter.
Mine is orange and hangs down to about mid thigh. It’s for cool summer nights, but it works for warm spring days as well. I have to redo the arms because they are about 4 inches longer than I like, but I’m quite proud of my first attempt. The total cost for this gem was $5 in yarn and about 2 weeks of work.
It's ORANGE!
My second attempt is a short sweater for my daughter. It has a ruffle trim and ruffles on the sleeves. She’s more girlie than I am so ruffles are okay for her. The total cost for this sweater was $12 in yarn and 10 days of work. I used more expensive yarn for hers since I knew the pattern worked.
Now it’s time to go through my patterns and find my next project…
