Birthday treats



Hi everyone,

Here, in Ireland, in the Midlands where I live, the spring has finally sprung and with all the lovely sunshine and the Easter preparations I'm running a bit out of time so, today will be  just a quick post to share with you my new creation.

A while ago I found over the internet a tutorial for a basket ( sorry I can't remember the blog's name!) and i was dying to try it. Even if it's looking a bit complicated, it's surprisingly easy and fun to make. Hope you like the result.
I would like to enter this in the Just Magnolia and hAnglar & sTanglar Challenge - week 102 Happy Birthday.
