Basket making
Just did a very enjoyable Basket weaving day course using willow. It's shown me some basic skills, enough that I could go out and make a basket to use for foraging etc.
The end product:
The start: 2 basic hoops and a few ribs inserted into the first woven bits.
Apart from learning old skills, it gave me a huge sense of satisfaction.

And now I've got something else to add to the 'Things to Do' list

when it comes to catastrophic events, we never know when the day before is the day before. So we prepare for tomorrow

So cool. I’m 45+ and this has brought back some lovely memories from school where we were taught the real basics. I think I still have a tray with woven raised sides to it somewhere!
