Baskets!! and giveaway update


Welcome to new followers!!

Baskets seem to be popular!
I spent a happy day yesterday making more baskets and trays. I'm not really happy with the trays, as I made the bases from some .6mm veneer - two pieces glued in different directions. They were fine until I saw them this morning - they'd been in the sun and had curled a bit. Not too noticeable, but I'll have to work on improving the method.
The four black ones are Hogwarts themed colours.

Giveaway update - I have added two more basket sets, so now there will be seven winners.
See previous post for pics.

It's on March 31st - good luck!

  6. Thanks!
    I had fun - they all gave a different impression to me when I made them. Some seemed 'english', some seemed 'shabby chic', and the green ones look strangely like Maori flax-woven ethnic baskets.

  10. It's good that you've learned to live with the perfectionism - I have problems with the minis and my perfectionism - I have all these great ideas and visions but the end result is far from what I had in mind... Well, a bit of practise wouldn't hurt, but I also lack tons of patience so you can imagine the equation... Ripping my hair out occasionally :D

  11. I've begun to learn that 'perfect' isn't human-friendly! When there's an imperfection (and there always is), I tell myself a story about how it came to have some 'character'!
    Also, if something doesn't go well, I put it away until I think of a better way - this usually happens in the middle of the night or in the shower!
    I do have a lot of UFOs (UnFinished Objects) littering my room.

    Practicing isn't my idea of a good time - I hated learning the piano. :P
