Things That Are Pink
For a self proclaimed tomboy, I sure have a lot of pink things. I drew this after realizing that I have a growing collection of hot pink belongings. 
One day after knitting circle, a group of us were gathered outside of Rosie's Yarn Cellar. A woman walked past and exclaimed, "Oh, I wish I could knit, but I'm just not that domestic or girly." I understood what she meant, but it was also in a slightly condescending manner.
One by one, my friends chimed in with other 'non-girly' things that we do. Belt sanding, running marathons, camping, biking, archeological digs, horror conventions, etc.
I replied, "I have also done some roofing!" (Of course I was probably wearing my hot pink Puma shorts and a camoflauge bandana...)

Male friends of mine are impressed by the amount of Guinness I can toss back.
I have to say that I cringed when I saw this pink tool set in a pink box- advertised as a basic set for girls. Someone bought one as a joke gift for a friend of mine who could probably out-do Bob Villa in the tool dept. She gave it to another friend who did not have a single hammer nor screwdriver.
My purse in pink.
