Happy accident! This was an experiment/prototype basket and it wasn't what I was trying to make but I absolutely LOVE how it came out! It's super soft with yarn woven randomly in and out of the clothesline rope I sew baskets with. I added a little leather tab and matching rivet.

Question:
I have a custom order for a basket, and she wants colors that aren't appealing to me, but she was specific. Beige, baby pink, dark brown, and avocado green. Emphasis on the beige with hints of the other colors. Do you think these look good together?

I've finally completed my art exhibit entries and changed my mind on one. I decided my weirdly shaped, strangely colored basket would be a better entry than the octopus which I didnt really like. And I created a giant spoon to go with the giant coffee cup.

We took a beautiful drive down the coast today. It's so gorgeous here when it's sunny!

For my second art show entry I made a large coffee cup and saucer. I used about 95' of fabric wrapped rope for the cup. The saucer is 10' in diameter and about an inch high. The cup is 6 inches at the base and 9 inches at the top and is 6 inches high. I'm thinking of making a spoon to go with it.

I don't know why but I wanted to see if I could make a fabric wrapped rope octopus. There are size limitations for the art show, so it's 16"W x 21"H. You can have 2 entries, so I'm starting on the next thing tomorrow.

I decided to make a beachy little basket.

I decided to make a beachy little basket.
This basket was made from 100’ of 3/16” cotton/poly rope, wrapped in fabric, and finished with a 4” fabric spiral and rivet. It has an 8” base, a 10” top diameter and is 5.5” tall.The inside is smooth and the outside is frayed and textural. She’s a beauty.

I iterally worked on this for 9 hours yesterday! Isn't it beautiful? Oh, it isn't? It just looks like a big pile of fabric covered rope?? Haha. Today I'll start basket construction and hopefully turn this into something pretty. #Craftsky

I'm making frayed denim crossbody purses. I finished this vivid pink and red one yesterday. I'm adding a jeans pocket on the inside, lining them with a denim interior, and including a detachable strap. These little raggedy baggedys are so cute!

Thought I’d try something new.Took some old cotton sheet fabric strips and made them into fabric twine then made the twine into coasters.Was it fun? Not at all. Will I make more? No although I do like how these turned out.They have a vintage-y shabby chic look. I’m adding them to my store. #Craftsky

This coaster set was made as a Christmas gift for a customer's Mom and Dad. It'll match the basket that was a Mother's Day gift last spring. The set came out really close to the original vibrant basket colors. The purpose was to match her Fiesta Ware. Mission accomplished!

The holidays are coming right up. Would a loved one like to receive something made by hand just for them? Pick your size, colors, and decorations. Here are a few examples from the last year or so. Message me :)

I think I'm going to try an experiment. I want to make a rope basket like these, but also include some denim scraps. Might be fun. You never know till you try! #Craftsky

Got this finished today. I made it big but not huge. The denim is embellished with a pretty cotton butterfly print boxed bottom, a matching zipper, a cute scarf tie, wide straps and butterfly appliques.The interior is fully lined with the butterfly print. First time working with denim. I enjoyed it.
