Needle Picking for Baskets

I'm taking another short break from my travelog to tell you about my walk in the woods to gather pine needles.  Making pine needle baskets is one of my passions and the fall is the perfect time to gather a fresh supply of long leaf pine needles.  Normally I do this in early November, but we've had a very untypically warm fall and I suddenly realized it is almost Christmas and I hadn't replenished my supply!  Something else to do when my plate is already full trying to get everything put up, bought, wrapped, sent....
and trying to find the perfect present for everyone...The stress is on!

But I did want to share a few of my favorite fruits of my labors. 


 This oval basket is made with sweetgrass in addition to pine needles.
Wish you could feel how smooth these are.


 This one won 3rd place at the Florida State Fair!


 
An unusual way to display your business cards on this one of a kind card holder.


I also enjoy making pendants as they, like the baskets, are very unique.

All of these and more are in my Etsy Shop - Pine Designs
just in case you are still in need of something special for someone special.


Until next time...
Terri

    Hi Terri, Your baskets and pendants are so pretty. I always enjoy seeing other crafters work. I have enjoyed your sharing your trip with us. I am getting to see lots of beautiful scenery and seeing places that I know I will never get to go in my lifetime. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.

    Terri, your baskets are always a joy to see. You are so incredibly talented. You are so right it has been extremely warm here in Florida. I am so ready for some cooler air. I'd say the rest of the country is a bit jealous of us, but I'd take cooler any day over hot and humid.
    Hugs,
    Meredith
