So cute - I love the fabrics you chose @Kwality570 !
@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!
Wow! I love that you used your weaving @photojenn!! Stunning result.
@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 !!
A stairs basket, what a good idea. And it’s so yummy. Nice haul!
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!
well done, @Abbeeroad !!
and @jeanneleigh , a basket for taking up & down stairs is a must!! ![]()
and @photojenn , your weaving is stunning, as always!
~what a fabulous gallery~
Yay! I’m glad you like everything! The needle threader is one of @Harlan’s!
The inset of the scrappy squares is wonderful! The colors are such an interesting combo. Love them!
Such pretty baskets are showing up. All useful as well.
I received!!! Thank you @Annchen!
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! ![]()
Thank you!
oh, this is so pretty!
well done, @Annchen (I think I read the pairing list correctly)
Yes, and doh, I can’t believe I didn’t tag her. That has been fixed. ![]()
Ooo! Lovely and looks like a great size!
Beautiful color and such lovely felting!!
I’m so glad I got the colour right ![]()
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
)
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 ![]()
Thank you so much from me and the cats!
