Phat Fiber Workshop

Spent a great Saturday at WC Mercantile taking a workshop by Phat Fiber on how to set up an online etsy shop. Jessie was so thorough, and really encouraging to all of us fledgling entrepreneurs. I came home with a binder full of suggestions and pitfalls to avoid. So now that our house is getting a little more orderly, it's time to buckle down,get the ball rolling, and start working on baskets!

Finished Baskets

After many distractions in July, I'm finally getting around to posting pics of the finished baskets. The wine basket is always a good gift, but I wasn't too sure how the big urn was going to turn out. Overall, I'm happy with it. But it was a pain working with so many pieces of such long pieces of small reed.





Now I'm looking forward to picking Riley up this weekend for a week-long visit. He's bringing his motorcycle, so I'm sure he and James will be spending a lot of time at the track with that and the carts. We don't really have a lot of stuff planned, so we'll just do whatever he wants. Isn't that they way it's supposed to work?
