A Tisket, A Tasket - Little Crochet Baskets


Hello, Friends, I hope you had a good weekend. 

I had a busy weekend, pet-sitting my 
daughter's two mini-dachshunds, 
doing a bit of garden clean up,
visiting friends for dinner
  Saturday night with Ramblin' Man, 
then grocery shopping and visiting
with my daughter, Sunday evening. 

I also finished my Little Crochet Baskets!


I found the pattern on Pinterest, crocheted
with 'Kitchen cotton' and a small hook
using single crochet and half double crochet stitches.

These little baskets are perfect to hold
my embroidery threads and buttons.


I crocheted these button flowers
using This Tutorial.


Sometimes I like quick projects that don't
take weeks to make!


These little baskets can be tucked anywhere
to hold craft supplies, jewelry, keys, small trinkets, etc.


I also made some for the kitchen.


These are nice for holding baking supplies
or tea packets, candy, cookie cutters, etc.......


They have a sweet retro vibe......


So sweet with my Mother's 1959 Betty Crocker
cookbook.


Charming on my Mother's Kitchen Queen.

I am in love with red lately.


Bright and happy on these dreary winter days.


Red flowers are always happy!

(Even if they are silk :)


These little baskets make charming gifts.


Perfect for Valentine's Day treats, too!

  2. Sweet friend, your baskets are adorable! They remind me of the fabric ones I make for my Etsy shop {{smiles}}

    I just love the red and white ones and they look perfect in your kitchen. Have a lovely week! Hugs!

  3. Karen, What sweet projects. You must have had so much fun working on these. Like you, I have been drawn to red of late, which is completely unlike me. As red has never been a go-to for me, in wardrobe or in decorating, but I do have hints of red around our house -- nothing red in my wardrobe.

    Wishing you a happy February!
