Baskets

Chez Margie hosted another of Heike's basketmaking sessions in May, four beautiful baskets were completed on the day, there were two beginners, Margaret and Eilish, who both made circular baskets and were brave enough to put handles on too. Sheila and Clodagh have some experience and they both tackled shopping baskets with excellent results.

I love how the buff and native willows blend to make these stunning colours. Again we were spoiled totally by Clodagh's beautiful baking, scones and jam, bread and cakes.

The workshops are all finished for the summer, and Autumn planning is underway.

I want to wish everyone who visited my blogs over the year and to all who participated in workshops and the knitting group here at Chez Margie a

Happy Summer

Big hugs,


Margie

Clodagh's homebaking

Yesterday at the Basketmaking session, we were treated to the most amazing scones. I will never be able to eat scones again without comparing them to Clodagh's home made scones. She made bread too (not in the photos) perfect brown seeded bread (by perfect I mean, shape, flavour, texture) that we liberally spread butter, cheese or cold meat on.


When we finished the savoury, we had these beauties to devour, lemon drizzle and orange drizzle maderias, and carrot cakes like you have never tasted before.

Thank you Clodagh, your food shared with the Crafters added to the joy of the day. To see the beautiful baskets created by the Crafters click here

The day was very special, ten women, crafting, sharing food, stories, ideas,and most of all laughing and having fun.

(I am going to have the remaining cakes now for my sunday breakfast.)

Happy Sunday morning everyone.



Big hugs,


Margie
