Even More Baskets
Here is a picture with Alexis and the three baskets that she has woven in the past week and a half! I'm so freaking proud of her and super excited that Sue has agreed to continue teaching her one on one after I leave!  And my most recent completion, the Cherokee Basket. I wasn 't sure if I would really like this one just a whole lot, but I really do like it! Now, I just need to figure out what to do with it. Any guesses on where it might end up? Suggestions?  Not much new to report on our front. The kids and I are still thoroughly enjoying our visit in TX. Mom's on vacation for the entire week, so I really get to annoy the crap out of her now! *winks* We spent most of today shopping at JcPenney. They had tons of super cute clothes on clearance for $1.97! Needless to say, the kiddos are now set for school and I even have an extra few pieces! YAY us! Jeff is doing well. We've been so blessed getting to talk every night. I really don't know how spouses did it back in the day (which really wasn't all that long ago) when they had to rely on a 15 minute phone call only god knew when and letters. I'm not sure that I could have done that. I think it's terrible just getting to talk to him about 15 minutes a day! Ha, but I'm a baby like that I suppose! :) We are getting to spoil him a lot lately though. With at least a package a week filled with goodies for him and 3 just today, we've been able to send him lots of stuff to fill his tummy and keep him somewhat entertained at least! Hopefully everyone is having a superb summer! Our love to all! |
Thanks for the photo link. ALexis is a natch for weaving! I can't believe how straight and symetric the sides are on all her 1st 3 baskets! Hm, I wonder if Sue had something to do with that, lol? BTW, I was one of those spouses "back in the day" that had to rely on ONCE WEEKLY 15-30 min phone calls and tons of letters (which I still have). It was horrible, it sucked big time and lots of other stuff I can't repeat. Thanks for sharing you brat.
BTW, please don't respond back to my gmail account. I never check that thing anymore. I'm bad, I know.
Ha! Alexis actually does have a natural talent for weaving. Sue helped her very little if you can believe that! Now, my cherokee basket, she took away from me. But I will say that the reed she got in that batch was not very well cut to width. Some of them were almost a 1/4 inch wider than they were suppose to be, so it made keeping the basket even close to tight really difficult. Tehehehe.
