A chilly morning. Brr, and it definitely feels like Christmas is approaching fastπŸŽ„.
Gorgeous light outside this morning as I light the stove and warm up the workshop up for a day of weaving away.

The last batch of soaking willow is coming out of the tank tomorrow, so if you have a last-minute basket request, you better be quick. 😜

Another Moses basket off to its new home and another family heirloom in the making ❀️
I love this choice of colours, just like my Beach Basket/ Bag.
Green Dicks, Buff, White and Britney Blue.

I always use a Plywood Base for easy clean and the fact that each child's name and date of birth can be written on the base. I repaired one year's ago, with 29 names written on it ❀️.

I now hide the base edge with a foot, thanks to Eddie Glew's recent tuition . . I'm forever learning.😊

The gorgeous rope weave ❀️ Just because 😊
