I like baskets. They are so friendly and their many purposes can not be argued. More importantly I have discovered a way to add them to my collection.
A free Friday evening, a fun group of women( mind you, I did not say especially crafty), three willing instructors, and supplies already provided in the fee. Viola! A basket to take home .
And your family is so impressed.

What a wonderful idea...how do you find your basket weaving teacher? Or do you teach it? I can see a group of ladies having fun doing that.
A smart someone from my church arranges the classes with the instructors, an older woman and her husband who have been making baskets for years. They bring along another woman who has two children in college and says "she appreciates the extra money." All of them are extremely helpful and make it very enjoyable. Take this from someone who tried basket making in the past and did not like it one bit; so much that it has been over twenty years since I took another go at it.
That sounds fun. I have an aunt who makes baskets and quite a few years ago I made a couple with her. One was an egg basket out of sea grass and the other was a tall rectangle.
I really enjoyed it. I like how yours turned out - love the green!
I left a comment on my 'A Week of Green' post for you. I don't know why some of your comments haven't been getting through maybe it's that weird word stuff you have to type in. If you leave a comment it should whow up right away when you hit publish your comment. I am sorry to have missed any of yours. I always look forward to hearing from you.
Did you make that? Ever since I read that Tasha Tudor was an basket-maker, and seeing her delightful work, I've wanted to take up basketry.
