Basket-making
The past few weeks have artfully revealed what three girls, a helpful friend, some reeds, and a bit of elbo-grease can create. My last year of 4-H is rapidly approaching, and I’ll be entering my fourth basket.
Planning Emily’s basket
Packing in the bottom reeds
Waiting on the rim and lashing as it soaks
The finished basket
Maggie’s basket, as well as mine, are complete, but the handles Emily’s basket needs are yet to arrive. We all plan on filling them with our favorite books and supplies.

Oh, those are very nice baskets! Books would look lovely in them.
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

Beautiful.
I think that one word does a poor job at describing it, though.
I love the design along the side, it is so classic, and I like the symmetry, along with the colors.
Basket weaving looks like so much fun!! But…I think at the present I have sooo many hobbies I should wait awhile before starting a new one :-).
I hope you place well in 4-H!!

Great job! Your basket looks great.
My mom used to be really into making baskets. I should ask her to teach me.

The baskets are simply lovely, Breezy!
I really enjoyed the black and white photo of the basket and the picture of the sketch of the basket!
Thanks for sharing, Breezy!
