Share a Basket Sunday

I know I posted this Sunday, but "As for Me and My House" is hosting a Happy Home Monday and my baskets and sharing cake decorating with Emily is definately making our home happy.
Pop over to their and check them out!

This is a small sweet basket that is holding cinnamon sticks. I had made this for my mother. The stakes are 3/8" flat. The handle is 3/8" flat oval that is just inserted into the weaving, so it could pull out. This is a basket just for decoration. I really like the shape of this basket as I let the body of it flare out a tad. I pulled in on the top of this basket on purpose and then let it again flare out at the rim just a bit. Notice the little basket feet on the bottom. The Minwax stain on this basket is Golden Pecan.

On to other things. My daughter Emily and I have been taking cake decorating classes at Michaels. I must admit, with homeschooling her, it is nice to be able to say, lets take a Friday morning class and I'm not having to take her out of school because she can do her school anytime. She has enjoyed being homeschooled this semester and I plan to homeschool our youngest, Tim starting in the fall. I thought Emily's Tinkerbell cake turned out so sweet just like her decorator. And it was delicious.
I did the hot air balloon cake. Yes, we've been eating a lot of cake lately!

Have a beautiful and blessed Sunday. We are now off to church.

Love,

Nancy
