This weekend my Mom, aunt, cousin, and I convened to make baskets. This accomplished a number of important goals. First of all, the theme of this summer in our family has been “reduce the inventory”. Three baskets made = one more spot in the attic cleared out. Secondly, it was a great way to enjoy a Saturday together now that we’re all finally back in the same state for a while. For our first try, I’d say they look pretty respectable. My aunt was a very patient instructor 
My Mom went with the taller, rectangular one and had to go show us all up by sewing in a canvas lining the next day. I chose to use the two red stripes and my cousin went with the rope. Definitely an excellent Saturday. I think we’ve all earned our next planned outing: wine tasting.
Like.
