Any one make baskets?

Happy New Year! Any one out there in OH land make baskets besides me? I've been weaving off and on for 20+ years. I have made a variety of baskets over the years from Nantuckets (just a few) to black ash, to pounding black ash, to western red cedar to reed. I like to play around with gourds and gourd baskets, necklaces and antler baskets too. I haven't done a whole lot of weaving the past year or so. been an odd few years for me! hopefully as the energy increases and I can get back to exercising I will have more desire to do more things! Just had lap RNY 12/12/05 and am starting to feel better now! yesterday was the first bit of solids for me (well sort of solids-TOFU! I put it in some soup to get more protein in, I am no wheres near where I need to be yet. So today I tried some cottage cheese! tasted like Mana from heaven!

Hi Kim! I bead too! lots of beaders do baskets and lots of basket makers do beading! I make some gourds and weave with waxed linen and add beads to them. they turn out pretty! Good luck saving up money for your surgery, I know because of my insurance I have to pay the doctor on my own but will get thru it because it is finally time.

I'm a Buckeye that lives in Ky. but it is just minutes from here. I make longaberger baskets weaving around their forms. I buy my wood from a guy in Ohio. People come to my house and say, I love that longaberger basket and I say thanks, I made it. Best wishes with your weight loss and may everything be fat free
