It feels like Fall!

The weather here is SO nice.  It almost felt like Fall today - just had to create something Fall-ish.  

The contents of the basket ARE included with the basket - an autumn pod candle ring and blackened beeswax battery operated candle. 

I did check the calendar and it's still July!

Giveaway Time!

It's that time - giveaway time! 

 

Do you know Marly from Santa's and Sampler's blog (found HERE)  Marly is a cross stitcher superb.  She's also VERY generous with her talents, she has many free patterns on her blog and is always sharing her finishing tecniques with us.  Marly also has a great sense of humor, I'm always laughing by the end of her blog posts. 

 

Awhile back Marly asked me if I'd like some basket materials she had left over from her basket weaving days.....well of course I would!  She sent me a kit for this basket.  In honor of her kind and generous nature, I'm going to give away the finished basket.  Here it is.....

Once I finished the weaving, I gave it a dunk in my homemade black walnut dye. It's the perfect size to carry your cross stitch projects in (or rug hooking, or needle felting, or......)
