Sunday we did one of our usual things, go to antique markets. Unlike the last time I was out and about I did not find another spinning wheel but instead an old wash basket. Take notice on how user friendly the handles are on this basket. I've often wondered why basket makers put the handles on the long end when most women use them and have short arms.
Anyway I thought my 8 oz bags of roving would look nice in the basket and they do. Of course not all of them fit in it but I like it.
My dear friend Patsy and I went to Knitters Day Out last Sunday and when I was going to leave her house she surprised me with this hand made garden ornament. A couple of weeks before I noticed hers in her garden and admired it so her friend Gerry made me one. Honestly aren't there some wonderful people in the world? Much to pretty to put outside so...
I'm using it as a display piece in my studio. Nice. Thanks Gerry I love it!!!!
We had high winds and lots of rain this week. I know we're lucky that we only lost one limb of our mamosa tree but I love that tree and hope it's not permanently damaged.

Oh, I love that wash basket. The minute the picture popped up I noticed the handles! Makes so much more sense with the handles on the sides!!!
The garden ornament is lovely. You're right, too nice to sit outdoors in the weather. Especially now with all the wind and rain. Hope your tree is going to be OK!
Your roving looks like colorful cotton candy in that great basket you found. I love the garden ornament and agree it's way too gorgeous to place outdoors and this way you get to enjoy it through the winter.
What a neat ornament! What a wonderful gift. Glad there wasn't a disaster with those high winds. Sad to lose a tree branch, but fortunately no other damage. I'm with the others on the basket of yarns!
