Cute Spiders!

I know, I've been gone from blog land for about 3 weeks - first we went on vacation and this past week I've been weaving, weaving weaving!  Sauder Village is hosting the annual rug hookers convention this coming week and Rug Hookers like baskets!  This is the best week for the basket shop.  I'll share with you all the baskets I've done early in the week.

I just updated my Lemon Poppy Seed shop with these cute little spiders. 

Tall - Daddy Long Legs!

Short - must be Mommy short legs!

Thanks to my friend Deb Perry for the idea/pattern for these little baskets.  They were So much fun to make.  $16.00 apiece, which includes shipping to continental US.

Carry All Market Basket

This One of A Kind Basket is my new favorite!  Of course - they are all my favorites at one time or another!  After finishing the basket, I made a liner from Thimbleberries material  that wraps down the side about 2 inches.  The liner is held in place with a drawstring made from the same material.  The material is black with small brown stars in the background and mustard colored stars in the foreground.

 

I then attached the rusty wire garland to the front that is highlighted by 5 stars  - the largest one in the middle, the other 4 are all the same smaller size. The basket is approximately 8 inches wide, 13 inches long and 7 inches high.  The height to the handle is 12 inches.   Price for this is $55.00 which includes continental US shipping. SOLD - Thank you Mindy! 

Another one of my smaller comb baskets - this one I stained with a watered down black and it almost looks to be a slate blue.  The year 1803 is hand stitched on Irish Linen and the entire piece is stitched to the front of the basket.  $23.00 plus $7.00 shipping in the continental US. 

Both of these baskets can also be found on my Lemon Poppy Seed shop - see the sidebar for a link.

Custom Orders

I do make custom baskets!  A fellow blogger emailed me ordering a basket she'd seen on an earlier post. I mentioned to her that I can and am happy to change colors is she wanted different colors in the basket. 

She requested a red stripe/star combination.  Thought I'd share the finished basket with you.  This is a basket that has a hole in the bottom, it's used to store plastic shopping bags.  You simply pull one out the bottom when you need a bag.  The handle on the back hangs on a nail or peg. 

Shaker Gathering Basket

A wonderful round basket with a twined bottom.  The basket measures  4 1/2" to the top of the weaving with a total height of  approximately 9"  to the top of the handle. 

The diameter of the basket is 9 1/2".

The handle is a neat "dip" style handle.  

The finish on this one is a stain with an overdye of my own boiled black walnut dye.   Total including shipping (Continental US) is $35.00, Paypal or Money Order. ~SOLD~

Miniature Egg Basket

This mini egg basket is petite - not quite 4 1/2" tall and almost 5" wide at the widest part.  I used an antique embroidery hoop for the handle and rim.  It is one of the really old ones that doesn't have a tightening mechanism on it.  The wood in these hoops has developed a wonderful patina over the years. 

The basket itself is woven with 3mm flat oval reed.  (3mm is close to 1/8" wide)  There are 6 spokes per side plus the one above the rim for added decoration.  I stained this with boiled black walnut hull dye.  This would be a perfect little basket on a smaller shelf.  $45.00 which includes shipping to continental US.
