Good Morning Friends,
This sweet little basket that I wove some time ago sits in a shelf in our bedroom. It is only about 6 inches in diameter. The base spokes are made out of #0 round reed. For each spoke there are 5 pieces of the #0 round reed lying side by side and then they split off to make more spokes as the basket is woven. Around the bottom, what looks like flat reed is really more #0 reed that is woven in a chase weave.
I hope all of you have been having a good week. Yesterday was National Scrapbooking Day. I tried to do a little paper crafting and did make a Thank You card, but when I'm home with the family it seems like something is always coming up to keep me busy (like feeding them) so my crafting was cut short. Do children and husbands really need to eat three plus times a day? Ok, I'll just consider it a blessing that they are in my life so I can feed them.
I hope all of you have a wonderful and blessed Sunday.
Nancy

WOW, I don't think I have ever come across someone who can actually weave baskets. Super cool. Happy Saturday Sharefest!
