Back into the baskets...........

.........this past couple of weeks!  I seem to lurch from making baskets to playing with clay - and invariably the baskets keep winning the fight for my time!!


I even remembered the match stick this time!  Just to give a sense of perspective!


The cat is by Annie Willis of Fine Design.  I made the basket just for this cat!


Definitely for the birds!


Some shopping?


Another perspective


Here we are, mid week already!  Peter has gone off to Iraq for a few weeks so I shall definitely be immersing myself in some basket work.  Have to research some new stuff and that is always time consuming!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!

Some weaving work to show.........

.........that I've not forgotten about the baskets altogether!!


A couple of aged lobster pots!



A gathering basket



A flower basket




 A basket!!


A basket....



....and another basket!


And that's it!!  I could bore you all for hours - but I do have a heart!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.  Here in Oz, we're all wishing/hoping for some rain.....it is sooo very dry.  Maybe soon!!

Another Step Forward...............

............in the kitchen of Indy's house.  I have completed the chimney at last and now all I have to do is lay the quarry tiles!!  It's ok if you say it quickly.....I think I'm going to be on that job for quite a while but it will be great when finished.   The tiles (from Richard Stacey) will cover both the kitchen and scullery area.



And now totally off topic - I have to show the giant and the squirt!  I can't believe I managed to get the poodle to be still long enough to take the picture!  Score!!


Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
