I was so happy to reflect back on my first night of basket weaving and to find I hadn't been muddled in dark thoughts of lost friends and loved ones in pain. Now that I am seated to write out this latest victory, I should have done a happy dance. Hmm, but I am doing a happy finger dance instead right now sharing the moment with you!
A girlfriend at work wanted to make baskets but I didn't want to mess up my painting or writing with another hobby. I already have so much I want to get done with no time to get it done. I made a rule that I would only basket weave on these nights and owning such a small space, these baskets could be gifts. After tonight I can keep the first rule, but the second part will be difficult as there where so many baskets that would be useful around the house.
There where three of us girls. One a bit more loud who took the edge off for me so I could sit back and work. We got to pick two accent colors. If you know my decorating style well, you know I wanted it to be red and blue so it will fit perfectly in my house.
Wooo hoooo!!! {happy dance} I am a proud owner of a self handmade medium size basket!!!!!!! To top it off when I get it stained, I can paint on the soft wood part of the basket!!!! I just love being able to incorparate my love of paint onto the lastest creative craft.
The biggest gift of all tonight was that while I was learning something new, I forgot all about the trouble that was whirling around my insides!!!!!!!
