new old basket

 made this basket repro from an old basket reminant given to me by a friend. I love the simplicity of the design and colors. This class will be offered in the near future and at the March retreat.

I wanted to share this link with you. This happens in March every year in Port Orchard, WA for 4 days. Lots of fun and no dishes and no cooking. Just in brain overload weaving and visiting all your friends you only get to see once per year. Click on brochure download to see all the classes offered this year.

I'm also starting a line of garden hats. That should be fun.

A lucky day. What a blessing to find a tree that isn't cut down yet. Be sure to thank the tree for its clothing and let it know what you are going to do with it.
