This is the Mother of All Totebags. I could carry paintings in it, lots of knitting, perhaps my entire yarn stash, or say, 5 or 6 watermelons. I’m posing in Fig Garden Village in Fresno, and I’m surprised people weren’t flocking to me to ask where I got such a fabulous oil painting totebag. Surely in Fig Garden some swanky little shoppe would want oil painting totebags!
That pocket is handy, dontcha think? And, because I know you are dying to ask, I made the sweater. I know what you are thinking – “Why doesn’t she DO SOMETHING with her hair instead of making all those sweaters?” Simple – knitting is more fun than messing with hair. And this is one of my less weird sweaters, although there is a long piece of yarn stuffed up my left sleeve. Not sure why, but there you have it.
Thank you to Michelle who gave me the idea of salvaging my torn painting in this ingenious manner.

Thank you, Maureen! It might be time to stop getting haircuts again and return to twisting it up and jabbing it with a pencil. 😎 And Sara, I’m looking forward to seeing a totebag made of one your paintings. For some reason, I thought you worked in watercolor – it would be quite a trick to make a tote out of paper!
You might truly be onto something with this great bag. I’m sure they’d sell like hotcakes! What a great way to recycle old or damaged paintings. Hmmm, I know I have a couple.
LOVE the bag…..LOVE the sweater (and feel the same way about hair in general:)
