Craft Show
Saturday I was in West Bend, Wisconsin for a Craft Show. It was held at the fair grounds. What a beautiful facility. There were two buildings filled with art and crafts. The attendance was over 2,000 customers! If you attended the show you were for sure to find something of interest.
Thanks to everyone who entered my contest on facebook. Sarah was the lucky winner.
My week was interesting, my computer is all fixed. Over 3 hours on the phone trying to explain to someone in India what was wrong with it. Received my sewing machine back from repairs, all set to do some sewing.
Have a wonderful week, it is suppose to be beautiful out!

Applique Towels
It was wonderful having the family around for 7 days. We all had a great time, played some baseball, made lefse, played bingo and made a lot of memories.
New to Countryside Basketry - applique towels. I purchased over 72 towels to applique. That's gonna be a lot of sewing! Cricut will come in handy for the cut outs. At the moment my embroidery sewing machine is in the hospital. All towels will have some embroidery on them. Will have to watch my web site for the new towels to be posted.
Going to enjoy the beautiful weather that is coming our way in the next couple days.

Embroidery
I just finished my sweatshirt project. Embroidery! I figured time to loose the winter coat and jazz up a sweatshirt. What a better way to advertise my web site http://www.CountrysideBasketry.com.
Just purchased a Cricut machine from my daughter. Those creative juices are just flowing of what I can do with it incorporating it into my baskets. Wait and see what happens next.
Spring break for kids in Indiana next week, grandkids and family visiting for the week. Have to get the oven going for some homemade Chocolate Chip cookies and load up the Cookie Jar Basket.

Two Friends Healing Art Show
I just attended Two Friends Healing Art Show in Green Lake on Saturday. I met some very good artist at the show.
One of my neighbors was Juli Garton she made some very unique handbags out of LP albums. If you get the chance check out her web site at http://www.carrythelook.blogspot.com/. Juli is a very talented lady with a great personality.
Shelia Howe was another neighbor from the Madison area. Wow this girl has talent. She does Tarot Readings, I was a little chicken to get that done. She has done some very interesting artistic things with Barbie dolls (my favorite) Check out her web site at http://www.sassmama.com/ she has some beautiful jewelry. Very inspiring.
Very nice show, attendance could have been better. A show where it was all quality - the judges did an excellent job at selecting the right artist.
The big hit at my basketry booth was my Easter basket fill with eggs and candy. If you purchased a basket you could win a free basket by picking an egg. Sorry to say, ladies the free basket was in the green egg, everyone kept picking the pink eggs! I wonder if that is a sign that Spring is on its way.

Need A Gift Idea?
Try giving a personlized basket. When putting items in your basket of choice, wrap in cellophane and tie with a ribbon to give gifts a homemade touch. The possibilities are endless. Here are a few ideas to get started. Easter and Mother's Day are coming up.
Beauty Queen: perfume; lip balm; special shampoo; hand cream; nail polish and file; bath oill; aromatic candle; bubble bath and scented soaps. Your mom needs to be treated like a Queen. You can use the Lora's basket for a special small basket.
