I made a basket!
My workout buddy has been involved in making baskets for awhile now..and she finally won when after asking me several times to join her....I did.
I followed her to the little hall where about 15 women had gathered to have a basket making class. I think I was probably the only woman there who had never done this before...you should have seen some of them go. One woman made two before I got half done. Elayne told me not to even look.....they were not in the same class level as us. DUH! :) Maybe one day.
There was a woman there who teaches basket weaving at a college in our area..I think or around close by...and she brought all kinds of kits for different baskets.
They were really too cute.
I am not really into baskets...but I have to admit that there were some really cool designs....all shapes and sizes.
The teacher helped me pick out something that would not be too hard and that I might be able to finish in class time.
Now I know I am not a professional at this..but they did say I did a great job for my first time.
It is not finished yet.
I have to turn the top and put on the trim..which they say should not take long. The problem...I don't know how..... so I will have to wait till I get back with Elayne to finish it.
We may have to have a basket weaving session after we work out on Monday....:)
The basket will also have to be sprayed to be sealed.
As I was getting ready to leave they drew for a door prize. The sweet lady said I could draw and as I was reaching into the basket one of the other ladies said I would probably draw my own name.
And guess what?
I did!!!!!
How cool is that?!?! I feel very blessed.
You can't see it but I won the kit for a small thin basket that hangs on the wall. They show it sprayed white but I like the look of the raw reed better. I think there is also some type of grape decoration to put on it.
So... I had a great day out in the country. Wish I had remembered to bring my camera. I'll try and catch a picture of Elayne soon so that you can meet the person who is trying to help me turn this body into a healthy body. Poor thing...she is trying. :)
I enjoyed the intro to basket weaving....it would be a fun hobby.....but goodness you have to be earthly rich to do it. ;)
Have a great weekend.....and remember you are the daughter of the KING!
