More baskets
Jun. 9th, 2025 08:42 pmTwo more, to be accurate. (Photos later; I'm still thinking about further decoration.) First I tried to make one as it was in the video. It turned out well enough, but when it was done I realized I liked my first (presumably faulty) version better. So I made the third one that way again and am fairly pleased with it. I regret that I don't have these paper stripes in the really Christmassy colours - pale green, yellow and pink don't make me associate with Christmas - but they are there, they are pre-cut, so that they are all the same width, which is a blessing.
I hoped I'd be able to use the beautiful, translucent pink, purple and green stripes as well, but they don't look good interwoven with each other. Perhaps I'll give monocoloured (is that a word???) baskets a try. We'll see.
The only other thing I did today was making crepes. Yum! We love them. And they gave me a chance to use up that opened jar of homemade spicy apple jam that had been standing in the fridge in its lonesome, so it's double win.
Temperatures were pleasant today: 22-24 degrees. It could stay like that for me through the entire summer - only that it won't, I fear. Still, we enjoy it as long as it lasts.
