The end of the year is my favorite time to weave — cozy vibes, creative energy, and baskets that feel like little celebrations. So I’m thrilled to announce three new weaving classes + an open weave coming up soon!

These classes are brand new, highly requested, and I have a feeling they’ll sell out fast.
If you’re thinking about holiday gifts…
🎁 A handmade basket is magic.
🎁 A seat in a weaving class is joy wrapped in an experience.
🎁 And weaving together? That’s a memory.

Come join me and close out 2026 with something beautiful.
Seats are open now — snag yours today! Registration links are included with each photo.

Registration is open for my final basket weaving class at Rainy Day Yarns in Gig Harbo before they close their doors at the end of the year. If you’ve ever wanted to weave a basket — or just want one more cozy creative day in this sweet shop — this is your chance.

We’ll be making a sturdy, charming basket with a 10" x 10" base, 7" sides, and a tall hardwood handle. It’s beginner‑friendly, fun to weave, and you’ll get to add your own personality with rows of colorful reed from my full fall + holiday palette.

Use it to gather fruits and veggies, display dried flowers, or simply add handmade warmth to your home. And yes… you’ll head home with a finished basket you made yourself.

Let’s fill the shop with creativity one more time. I’d love to weave with you.

August is wrapping up, and I’m making my final push for Hike‑A‑Thon — both in miles and in fundraising for Washington Trails Association. I just returned from the Great Smoky Mountains, and being on those trails reminded me how important it is to care for the places we love.

To close out the month, I’m offering a special fundraiser sale:
Choose any basket from my sample collection with a minimum $25 donation to WTA, plus shipping.

Your donation supports trail maintenance, advocacy, and access across Washington — work that continues long after Hike‑A‑Thon ends.

Browse the baskets, pick your favorite, and message me to claim it. I’ll share payment and donation details when you reach out.

Thank you for supporting handmade craft and the trails that keep us grounded.

Scenic drives, sweet goats, and a room full of creativity! 🏔️🧺🐐🪰

I ​had the absolute best day teaching basket weaving at Mountain Lodge Farm today. 14 wonderful students, good laughs, lots of beautiful weaving, yummy cheese tasting and new friendships made!

​(Special shoutout to the adorable goats for being great cheerleaders, and the local fly population for keeping us on our toes! 🪰😅)

​Thank you to everyone who joined in on the fun! See you in the fall, when it is too cold for flies!

Look at this cutie of a finished purse basket! One of my repeat students sent me this photo today, and I couldn’t resist sharing.

If you’ve ever taken a class with me, you know exactly who this is — she breezes in a few minutes late, then somehow finishes before everyone else. It’s her superpower. ❤ She doesn't plan it that way, it just happens.

I enjoy having her in class, and I’m so grateful for her continued support and enthusiasm. Keep weaving, my friend… your baskets always shine.

It looks like the (handmade) basket fairy made a visit this morning.
