May. 22, 2008 - The Double Rimmed Picnic Basket

A few weeks ago, I went with my cousins Breezy and Emily Rose, to make a basket for 4-H. We went to the 'Basket Lady', where we picked out our patterns and would learn something new.
Breezy had already decided on a Baby Moses Basket, while Emily decided to make up a pattern, which she refuses to say she likes.:)


This is mine, a Double Rimmed Picnic Basket, with a Black Walnut stain. I had never before seen a stain this color, so I went in blindly and came out happily.

I pray that this basket will do somewhat well, and become a great service to me, carrying all of my old books, drawing pencils and books- from which tips I will be receiving from
 The Drawing Blog hosted by Breezy, and everything that is dear to me.
And hopefully Breezy's will be holding her children when older, and Emily's will hold wonderful meals fit for a picnic after a summer's service in church.

Hello...

I thought I would follow up your message with a comment. :)

That is a beautiful basket. I am sure it will be well-used. Basket-making would be a great skill to learn! Was it hard?

Also, I read your review on Prince Caspian. I, too, saw it and thought it was a great movie. I am thinking of compiling links to reviews to post on my Narnia blog (homeschoolblogger.com/intothewardrobe). Do you mind if I link yours?

Also, I love your blog design! It is so soothing and peaceful. ;)

Blessings,
~Miss Kylie

Hi Maggie,
The basket is very pretty. I am sure you will put it to good use. It is a pleasure to watch you weave.

Your basket looks really nice, Maggie. I think it turned out just lovely. It makes me think of Little Women, hiding kittens inside and sneaking them around...Emily and I did that once and got away with it.

Yes, I think I've got James' parents nearly figured out, but now I have to decide on a specific time period. Shall it be 1537 or 1755? Clothing, clothing, clothing. Spanish, English? French, Italian? So many choices. He might end up in a parallel universe with a combination of styles...who knows.

Love you!
