First I’m just checking in with any locals that are here!!! My next in person show will be in October 12TH and 13TH at the Cortland Repertoire Theater 🎭. I’ve included their website below so you can take a look at the latest details.

It’s an amazing venue with so many wonderful artisans. I’ll be selling and hopefully demonstrating the art of basket weaving

Hope to see you there.

The end of summer approaches!!!

Summer is coming to an end here in Central New York. The Great New York Fair starts next week and to me it’s the official end of summer. It’s been a hot one but very productive on the basket front. I’ve been keeping up with all the orders, AND stocking up for my in person shows. My new work space is working out well and I’m finally getting used to it.

So I’m wishing you all a great rest of the summer and hope you are looking forward to fall as much as I am.

Wool Shenanigans

As you know, I love working with wool. I think it’s because it’s so beautiful and soft and just has the most vibrant colors. I just listed the first Primitive Pumpkin Sets of 2022. I really found some exquisite wool to work with this year.

The above pumpkins are in your typical fall colors. Below you’ll see some golden fall colors I thought would make a pretty set as well.

If you scroll down, you’ll see a couple of the other sets that are available now. You can find them under the Baskets for Sale tab. I’ll be adding more as fall gets closer.

Primitive Pumpkins

I make these guys every year just for a few months. I use beautiful hand felted wool from some exquisite Etsy Shops.

TYPICAL FALL COLORS

I use some wire for the tendrils, and a cinnamon stick for the stem. They are stuffed with polyester beads and new fiberfill. The string is 100% hemp.

Hope you love them as much as I do.

NEUTRAL COLORS

FYI- These are from a pattern I purchased from SewManyPrims. If you like to sew, you can make them too. They are a fairly easy pattern to make, but you do need a variety of supplies for them.

If you have any questions, ask away !!!!
