Basket Washing Day

Anyone else give their baskets a good bath now and then?

I don't soak, I quickly, thoroughly spray, then wipe,

and set to dry where they will dry

completely and quickly without heat.

I took a basket weaving class early 90's

from a wonderful instructor

and like most things I take on,

I quickly became obsessed and the baskets

were rapidly breeding.

Several moms from the same elementary school

my kids attended also took the classes

and we then went on to meet and weave once a week.

I've kept a few I made like these, and

another apple harvest one that I painted white

and several smaller ones.

I also have two very old ones made a very long

time ago by talented craftsmen that I treasure.

So why today did I begin washing baskets?

Because furniture is on the move

around oldgreymare.

Yep, it is time for several minor,

and a few major shakeups.
