Burn, keep or sell? The perennial question. Struggling to find the time to make has led me to the conclusion that this winter I will make just to keep my hand and eye in, bar the odd commission. So here I am using up my first harvest from last year’s planting of the willow bed, and practicing underfoot bottoms- much neglected! #whattodowithawonkybasket #pause #reflection #takingabreak #craft #childcare #babyfirst #practice #workshoptime #tbc2019

THIS IS LOVE. Now she’s turned one, I promise no more baby pics! Back to Baskets! #autumngirl #oneyearold #love #scotneycastle #daysoutwithdaddy #thegreatoutdoors #explorerbaby #nofilter #giantoaktree

I think this baby has had fun. Thanks Sarah @gardnerg33 for the booties #moss #earth #woodland #babesinthewoods #countrysideliving #sussex #adirtybabyisahappybaby #forestschoolstartsnow #outdoors #autumn #earthchild #babybooties #thankyou

Another view... another plug for the fair! I don’t often weave outside but hard not to in this delicious gloaming evening light. Love working with a combination of white willow and home-grown brown willows. #cimakers18 #summereveninglight #workingoutdoors #sussexevents #craft #makers #basketry #handmade #unique #contemporarycraft #tradition #sustainable #workingmum #whilebabysleeps #thisweekend

Ready, set... go! A basketmaker’s toes. Base done, stakes in, just about to ‘prick up’ (not as rude as it sounds). The going’s been slow with a baby in tow, but I’ll have something to show at least at this weekend’s Makers’ Fair. #cimakers18 #cranbrookiron #kingjohnsnursery #etchingham #eastsussex #craft #makers #thingstodo #local #basketmakers #stakeandstrand #willow @cranbrook_iron @sussexwillow @king_johns_nursery

Bemused baby in basket. I often get asked ‘but what’s it for!?’, especially with the non-traditional work such as this rope-coil. Perhaps this photo provides one possible answer? Second basket in 9 months, with 50% homegrown willow. Yum. #craft #willow #stupidquestions #contemporary #sussex #makers #homegrown
