Fellow basketmakers to the rescue! I need white willow! One bolt of 6’ or 7’ will do... anyone got any ideas of who might still have some in stock? Needless to say I’ve already tried Musgrove’s and Coates. Thanks in advance for your help. #callout #shoutout #help #basketmakerinneed #whitewillow #januaryorders #somewhatdisorganisedthisyear #thanks

Lovely mini trip to Ticehurst, picked up these goodies from the Artichoke gallery and the Old Haberdashery, always so many temptations! Thank you Wendy too for gorgeous crocheted Christmas stocking for Ingrid. Krocheted Kids on Etsy 2019, right Wend!? #ticehurst @artichokegallery @theoldhaberdashery #christmasgifts #decorations #felt #wool #hemp

A trio of ‘foraging baskets’, made just in time for Christmas. Gently concave on one side to fit against hip. Two for orders and one for stock. Thanks to grandparents for the babysitting! #christmasorders #basketry #sussex #craft #contemporary #leather #foraging #willow #maker #keepingmyhandin

Willow wreaths. Detail shots showing glorious colour variation. I love the simplicity and repetition of making these wreaths. Something special about circles isn’t there? #autumnalcolours #winterwreaths #yule #justateenybitchristmassy #willow #salix #simplecircles #mindfulmaking

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
