Finished Project!!! Actually, finished for the 2nd time! I got the bag done and thought the handles looked funny, and realized I'd put the handles on sideways. So, being me, I ripped them off and re did them. I like it MUCH better now! Also, again, being me, I didn't do the handles the way the instructions said, and I think they turned out just as nice. They had you chain, then do your single crochets to make the handles, then sew them onto the other end. I joined it and worked them in rounds because I thought that would be much stronger than stitching a piece 3 rows wide to the end.

Next I'm going to crochet a couple of covers for my swiffer sweeper. Saw a knitted pattern for them, but since I'm not big into knitting, I thought, why not crochet a couple. They will be washable and save me from having to buy the refills for the swiffer. Will let you know how well they work out. Making them from scrap yarn, so not costing a dime.

This is our friend who celebrated a birthday this weekend. We all went out to dinner and here you see the waitress singing happy birthday to him, Marilyn Monroe style! The chefs hat has the word "Husband" on it. That is what his wife calls him and so do others, so we thought that would be funnier to put on his hat than his name! He likes to cook, so the hat started out as a "real" gift, but then I thought it would be hilarious to have the waitress put it on him while he sang, just for the silliness of it! We had a great time. Ate dinner in a cave, embarrassed our friend, then went to see an awesome fireworks display. Good friends, good times......what more could you ask for?
