summertime summertime...sum sum summertime

I finally finished a basket I started in March when my two sisters came to visit. It will be our library book basket...it's billed as a laundry basket, but it's too small and ornamental for that.

I was frustrated with the way the stuff was dyed in the kit I bought to make it. Oh well...it will be fine. Just doesn't look as good as the sample at the basket lady's house.

But I do like it more since it's been sprayed with the oak finish!
