I did a post on my blog about a quilt and basket making artist. She will be teaching two basket making classes at our festival this year. When I was putting up all the basket pictures I thought it was something I had never tried maybe I should try it before I get any older. What do you think.

My husband actually wants to take a basketweaving class with me. He thinks its a craft he could get into - and it's finally a hobby we could do together. I'm game! I did it in girl scouts when I was younger, and it was fun then! Listen, as we age - we should open ourselves up to new educational experiences. Who knows, you might get really into it, and then it's just something else you can really enjoy as a craft. So go ahead, try it out and have fun!

Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!
