I got the great idea to give my friends, Stevie and Connie, a basket making lesson for their birthdays this year. Connie's is in October so we started them then. Stevie's is in December...baskets still not done. Mine is in January and I told them that for my birthday I wanted them to finish their baskets! My birthday is Tuesday and after a couple of months of gentle reminders and a pitiful birthday request, all but the lashing on Stevie's rim is done! Here's the proof... |
Connie hard at work.  Next is a little more "artful" display of the finished products.    And then, the best part maybe...Connie's homemade cinnabuns!  I do not care to tell you how many I ate while there. Hey, they were fresh out of the oven! With cold milk. You couldn't have resisted either. But I did manage to bring 2 home and with any luck I will manage to save one for my little husband... See? I am not going to have trouble finding things to do when I retire. I might have trouble fitting into my pants if Connie and I work together too often, but we'll cross that bridge when the time comes! Let me know if you want to go berry picking. I have an extra basket! |

Fantastic job, ladies! Eric quickly looked over at the pictures and asked if I was looking to buy a basket. I told him no that you had made them. His response-Wow, she does a great job! And the cinnabons look yummy too!
ReplyDeleteBut, let me know if you are looking to buy a basket! They did turn out nicely, didn't they. Here's a warning though...it took a LONG time so don't wait until the last minute to order! :-)
