Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was busy from start to finish with parties,
kid's sporting events and homework projects for the kids too.
I did have time to sneak in a small decorating project in the midst of my weekend.
I started off with a wire basket that I had that came from an assortment of nuts
(walnuts, almonds etc) that we had at Christmas.
I thought it would be nice to add a crochet trim. I picked up a great color yarn last week, which I was anxious to use on a project. My favorite crochet projects are the quick ones.
I simply crocheted all around the top and then added a scallop border. Then I added a crochet rosette. You can check out here how to make one of those.
Then I added burlap and two bunches of flowers I had to the wire basket.
Simple project that really dressed up a plain wire basket. The clock is a Home Goods find from a few months ago. I just had to have it. I love the rustic look.
Can't wait to hear what you think!!
I always love and appreciate your comments.

That looks really pretty, Judy! I love the softness of the crochet edging with the roughness of the burlap.

ReplyDeleteThat is so darling Judy! You are really getting great at the crochet touches on stuff.
ReplyDeleteJudy, the basket turned out sooo cute! Great job.
ReplyDeleteWell you are so clever. I would never have thought to crochet around the top of a basket. It looks amazing and the burlap is such a great touch too. Fabulous flowers and I agree, the clock is wonderful. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWhat a. Nice touch. It all looks so good together
