Cacti and done

I did it.  I finished the last items I'm making for the 2015 Warm and Fuzzy fundraiser:

Ceramic pots for a buck or two from Goodwill, crocheted "dirt" to fill them, and crocheted cacti from various places on the internet, which took far more hours to construct than I like to admit.  But I know there are people who will like them and hopefully bid high for them.

Now I have to go through the boxes and tag items with care instructions and fiber content, assuming I can remember or find the remains of the yarn with the ball band for most of them.  Wednesday is the auction.  Other people are donating, too: exceedingly well decorated wreaths, homebrew beer, wooden puzzles, pierogies, crocheted stuff (bag, scarf, afghan), oil paintings, photographs, etc, not to mention the bake sale (called the "Sweet and Gooey" fundraiser).  

And of course I was making hats (and a bag that inexplicably wouldn't felt when sent through the washer twice) for my friend's farmer's markets, but we are just about out of the last batch of yarn, so I'm taking a break, even though another batch is done.  Time to work on stuff for my family.

And I rolled up that skein of qiviut and started on a cowl.  For me!
