I have a full time job (since Dec 2012) therefore I don't get to do as much crafting as I used to. When I have time I make beaded ornament covers, pine needle baskets, crochet, embroidery, sewing, and whatever else crafty that interests me.

ReplyDeleteA gal from church had some ladies over a number of years ago and we made egg baskets out of willow branches from her willow tree. It was so cool!!

Thank you ALL!!
ReplyDelete@ Kari: I lived in Winnemucca, NV for 26 years prior to moving here to Tucson, AZ. During my stint in Winnemucca I learned how to do the pine needle basketry. I made one recently (the one with the black background) because my girlfriend's daughter wanted one... so it was her Christmas gift. :)
Wow, I didn't know you could weave with pine needles... you must have slim fingers!
ReplyDelete@Caren: You don't weave the pine needles you wrap them with (imitation) sinew. My fingers aren't as slim and trim as they used to be! LOL Age is getting to them... LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteThese baskets are great for bread, muffins and all kinds of other stuff. Another craft I see you do that requires detailed work.
ReplyDeleteI love your stuff!
Sharon, THANK YOU!
