String Basket

I finally finished something around this place. Do you remember when I told you that this inspired me? Well, here is my interpretation of that


I added the string (aka floss) treatment to the rim of a basket. By the way, look how well my plant is doing....I think it is because I did not plant it.

On a recent trip to Goodwill, I picked up this sad little holiday basket


I cut off the dried cinnamon sticks and ribbon, and added a couple of decorative beads along with some gold floss.


Then I randomly chose colorful floss to stitch around the rim of the top




I must admit, I forgot how much I enjoy mindless needlework. I think the entire project took a couple of Dancing With The Stars episodes....and voila. Now what other projects would you wrap with string?
