Today's Pumpkin

I didn't have to run around after any children today, which translates into weaving time. I've been thinking about this design for sometime now - a twist on the Wool Drying Basket

and a smaller version of yesterday's pumpkin.

Both are listed in my Etsy Shop.

Have a great weekend.

The pumpkins are coming...

My fingers are orange - I've been dying Ash for a bushel basket full of these autumn pumpkins.  The first one is one my Etsy site right now.  I'll be listing more over the next couple of days.

The leaves are cut from some of my wool stash, the stem is a twig from the back yard and the pumpkin sits on an antique button from my Grandmother's stash.

July Basket Giveaway

This month I'm joining with my Etsy Team, Old Farmhouse Gathering (OFG) for a Shop Hop.  

The basket I'm giving away is this whitewashed peg basket with a few sprigs of faux bittersweet and tied off with a homespun bow. 

For the rules of the giveaway visit our OFG blog found HERE

New Rugger's Tote Basket

Found this great silk flower and thought it would be neat on my Rugger's Tote Basket.  

Like all my Rugger's Tote Baskets, this one has a wood bottom for support of heavier items (library books!) 

This new basket can be found in my Etsy shop - click on the link to the right to take you directly there. 

The winner is....

There were 60 entries received for this basket giveaway.  Thank you to all who entered and follow along on my blog.  

Instead of the random number generator, I did it the old fashioned way - everyone's name went on a slip of paper in the basket.  Only one child is out of bed this morning, Matthew drew out a name...

and Frito said he wanted to help too!  Can you read the winner's name?

It's Natalie from Tins & Treasures Blog.

Thanks again for following along.
