My mother is a crafty little lady. My sister and I, as well as many of her friends, have several things she has made over the years; blankets, pajama pants, baskets and special seasonal decorations are just a few.
Years ago she made my sister and I Easter baskets. Since we were younger, we weren't as delicate with them as we should have been and parts of them, well, fell apart.
She replaced my sister's some time ago and I've been asking for a new one. So, for easter this year, she made one for me and one for my husband. Mine is the one with strips of green reed and Seth's has blue.
She gave them a light stain to give them the more country feel I wanted.
The design is by my cousin Lori Hopkins, who is an equally talented lady. These women put me to shame! I am blessed to be part of a family with such talent.
I can't wait to fill these baskets with Easter goodies! I will post pictures of that too.
Up-close, this is the blue one.
Here the basket is on a little beat up chair I bought cheap from an antique place. I want to re-finish it and use it for little kids' pictures.
