Happy #NeedleworkMonday, everyone!
So I did not make a whole bunch of progress on the smaller basket, but the inner basket is almost done! I have maybe 5-6 rounds left before this is finished. I do like the color, which will really make this pop. Once I am done, I will start work on the outer basket, and put together the smaller basket before I work on the larger basket.
My mom said that she is next in line for a large basket, when I finish with these for my coworker.
Now I am not just about the gift, but also about the presentation of the gift. I have been known to not just toss it into a paper gift bag, although I do that sometimes with the shiny and colorful tissue paper. I have been known to use the colored cellophane to wrap gifts. I have also done the “box in a box in a box in a box” like my dad used to do at Christmas when we were young. I am now using the reusable shopping bags for giving gifts, and my family and friends really love that a lot. I am still working out how to present it, and I welcome any suggestions.
I’ll keep you up to date on this.
