With every year there always comes the "resolution", time to turn over a new leaf, stop something you don't want to do and/or start something fresh and anew. As I wrote in December, I had very little inspiration (or time) to make any of my gifts this year. I usually make at least something for the grandkids. Not this year, nope, nada, zilch. I wanted to but life just got in the way. I did manage to make a basket and trivet for a friend of my daughter's who was there for her during a difficult time. Once she acknowledged that she received the box, I was going to post a tutorial but I haven't got that written yet, I'm going to share pictures here now and work on writing a tutorial when my brain isn't so tired.
This was really fun. I used a pattern I got in one of the Google communities I belong to. As I usually do, I changed it up a little, put a vinyl base on it and finished it off differently than the instructions and "ta da", a really cute bucket for whatever you'd like to carry from this place to that.
The Birth
Phew, that was close.
Putting on the vinyl bottom
A little extra treat from the scrap, an over-sized potholder, lined with two layers of Insul-Brite.
Great use of that ever so stable selvedged edge
