@photojenn sent the sweetest basket. It is made from one of her amazing weavings. I love the size, the colors, the fabric…all of it. Included was a lovely handmade card and a little watercolor doodle. Fun package!

Thank you!

@jeanneleigh sent me a beautiful basket sized just right to sit on my stairs and hold things ready to go up or down! How cool is this fabric?! She included what I think is a handmade-by-her little note holder and pen, happy stickers and two darling patches of little critters, my favorite! Thank you, @jeanneleigh !!

Alas, I can’t take credit for the note holder but I when I saw it I thought it was very clever and had to include it!

@jeanneleigh The fabric on the stairs basket is mesmerizing! What a handy use for a basket!

@photojenn I am always delighted when I see you showing off your weavings! What a different way to use a piece. The basket is lovely to look at.

@Practicute - You crushed your first swap! I love how unique that basket is. Cool style and pretty fabrics.

@Kwality570 - Love those wonky stars! The fabric & colors are perfection. Love it!!

@photojenn - The basket out of your weaving is fantastic! Absolutely beautiful.

@jeanneleigh I love the fabric you picked. The floral looks like a painting. The shape is great too.

Thanks for the kind words, friends! I realize I should credit this video tutorial I used to make the basket. Fun that it starts out as a big circle! I used 3 sheets of sew-in interfacing to give it strength. https://youtu.be/QR-Onm--Tp8?si=MnIpUKKeHfmtmQr6

I had a rough week at work and this package from @Abbeeroad was the perfect pick me up.

Made with black and white with pops of color and green and magenta and stripes - all of my favorite things.

And a gorgeous artwork with a needle threader!

and some amazing smelling soap, a box of delicious tea, a notebook, cute sticker, and fun chocolate!

I am so utterly delighted. I think I’m going to use the basket for my current yarn project by my chair in the living room. It’s such a great size!

The most beautiful teal basket! Seriously I love the color.

And included were these lovely extras: little postcard, local candy (I have tried and I like them). And lovely smelling beeswax! :honeybee:

Thank you!

I’m so glad I got the colour right :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Getting the pattern right was a bit of a struggle, but it turned out fine in the end.

My package from @Rlynn got here today after taking the scenic route.

Package and card. Blizz was supervising.

I received a pretty hanging basket. It’s really sturdy. It was filled with a bag of maple candies and a locally made cat toy. I love how it all matches!

Gift bag opened a bit to show the construction. The maple candies were very nice!

I thought Blizz was still supervising, but this is Chilla (old lady and catnip junkie :laughing:)

Cat tax:

Chilla, covered in nip. I must have spilled a bit on her when I opened the ravioli.

Blizz trying to join in, but knowing better than to try to take the catnip toy :joy:

Thank you so much from me and the cats!
