The Central Pennsylvania Basket Weavers Guild held their monthly weave in Gettysburg.  Member Samantha Richards led the group in creating colorful tote bags. 

There were piles of colored reed in a variety of sizes to use to weave the sides.  Some weavers followed a set repetition of colors, a monochromatic color scheme or others used random colors as I choose to do. 

It was a fun activity on the first hot, humid day of the season.

MD Sheep and Wool Festival 2022

The forty-ninth annual MD Sheep and Wood Festival was held May 7th and 8th after a two-year break.  It was great to see so many people brave the wet and windy weather on Saturday and again on Sunday when the rain stopped and the sun finally reappeared.  

Exclusive for this show, I made a series of wooden based baskets with sheep decoupaged on the base.  All three of these baskets sold.  I will definitely make some more decoupaged base baskets in the future.
