​ Pie in the Sky by Dani Sue Anderson $50.00

I really wanted to create a display basket that could hold anything: a candle, desserts of all kinds, breads, you name it. But then I ran into an issue. I needed to make sure the woven part of the basket was strong enough to support a heavy glass dish with a substantial pie or cake in it. This led to weeks of problem solving to make this basket a reality. It's a real crowd pleaser. You will be able to select the theme on the wooden part of the stand and pic your colors.

​Hannah's Helper by Dani Sue Anderson $55.00

 

I have many concerns about raising three amazing girls. One is that our second born (Hannah) will suffer from the Middle Child Syndrome! However, Christopher and I have both focused on how to parent and lead. We want Hannah to feel seen, known, and loved, just because of the special seat she holds in our family. That being said, when our first-born Lillie was 4, she begged and begged to weave a basket. Thus the “Lillie Basket” was born, and I’ve taught and sold so many of those kits, as it’s a perfect beginner basket. Then, 6 years later, our youngest, Ella, was born. She was the only one Granny didn’t make an Easter basket for; so the Ella’s Easter Basket was created and is a crowd pleaser around Easter time. I’m mentioning all this to tell you what one of my dear weaving friends, Beth Paul, brought to my attention at the 2022 Kentucky Basket convention. I didn’t have a Hannah basket! I was shocked! Wait! What? Huh? Really? One month later the idea of this Basket for my precious Hannah was on paper. In addition, my favorite base maker, Tony Heady at Bagdad Lumber, was hard at work. And now we have this wonderful creation that you get to personalize down to the handle theme!
Students will choose from a variety of wooden bases and will also get to choose their own colors.​
