I was thinking and thinking about what to do for a very wonderful woman in my life, my Mom in Law. (as you already know from passed posts, my sister and I took my Mom to lunch with some wine on the side) What could I do that was personal and nice, that she would like but that wouldn't cost a huge amount? I was rummaging through my yarn thinking of something I could make and I found a basket that I had tucked away. And I thought, why not make a basket up? I've seen so many of them, fruit baskets, Starbucks baskets, salami and cheese baskets, basically baskets of everything you could think of. I decided to make up a basket of things I thought she would like:
a cute notebook, with matching cute recipe cards, 3 bars of handmade soap, garden gloves, a card and this weekend we're going to pick up a bunch of apples that she likes from a farm by the lakehouse. Here's how it came out so far, just imagine a bunch of apples in the middle.
Total cost with the apples will be about 15$! Its such a great idea to make baskets for people. With learning how to make breads, I'm thinking ahead for birthdays. (I have 5 coming up this summer!) How cute would it be to get a bread basket like this?
Pretty right!?
Happy Friday!!
