Basket thoughts ;-)

It's 9 degrees outside with a windchill -19 degrees.  This coming weekend the weather is going to be great about 30 degrees.  That sounds warm these days.    Every year I make a basket pattern for Basket Bees that is given away at basket conventions or workshops with a wooden base.  We'd like all the weavers we meet at least to try a B.B. base.  They don't need glue to keep the spokes in.  So, I'm thinking of a small basket to hold  salt & pepper shakers with a woven handle.  Today I stained my base and I'm letting it dry overnight.  So now I'll seriously have to think about it's design.   Until tomorrow, the weaving will begin.  ;-)   with warm little bee-hugs,  deb-bee
