I Love Baskets - Wooden Blocks


Basket Blocks

I used to make these blocks years ago... they said a bunch of things from Welcome to Merry Christmas to a Family name. Many block sets were of the "I Love" or "I heart" variety. So, getting back to creating some of the "other country stuff" that I do when I need a break from weaving, I started making these blocks again.

I hand cut, painted, distressed and antiqued a set of blocks to show my love of baskets. There are 9 blocks, 3/4" all around. Every time I look at these blocks, they just make me smile. They look great on a shelf, desk, or windowsill in any arrangement they see to fall.

I hope that you like them as much as I do!
