Little Quilted Fabric Basket filled with gardening items and a wall hanging for the Handmade Christmas Challenge
 |
| In addition to the made items, I also have two potholders started and more fabric for an apron to add to the basket or perhaps make a Kitchen Basket gift. |

The two bits of Inspiration (or should say Pinspiration)
1. Fabric Basket Click here to go to Make it Do blog. Calli has a link to the tutorial she followed for her "lost socks basket".
2. An ironing board cover tutorial. Thought I'd using this piece of fabric that is sort of ugly.
 |
| As the fabric laid on the ironing board, I remembered that the idea was to cut out the individual pictures and make pot holders, wallhangings, pillows, etc. and so the garden gift in a basket idea came to be. |
The Rest of the Story...
I found seed packets, the watering globes and frogs at Walmart. The frogs have a pretty mosaic back but need painted.
 |
| Just needs some paint! |
 |
| Different shades of green. |
I went to Tuesday Morning and found the gardening gloves, the flower pot flower decoration and lots of other cute things for future gift baskets. I was hoping to find a cute little Mary Engelbreit gardening book, but didn't find anything like that.
 |
| Some outdoor pictures of the Potting Shed hanging. |
 |
| I even have a potting shed! |
 |
| Roses in bloom. |
 |
| I'm so lucky to have some flowers blooming right outside my bedroom window! |
