Thinking Green and Red
I’ve been crafting, knitting and sewing like a maniac these days, in preparation for Christmas gift giving. There were a few things I was able to sneak in just for me.
Two such items (ahem) were these basket liners in decorator weight, linen toile print fabric. Now that’s a mouthful to say! This project allowed me to join two things I heart … organization and fabric. It was a complete transformation. Woo hoo!

I bought one of these plain, ordinary baskets for a kiss and a promise. The other one was not so cheap. It didn’t take all that long to take measurements and construct custom-made, beautiful fabric liners.
You may think that I made these in green and red for the holidays, but you’re wrong. This sage-like green and cranberry red are two of the warm and cool colors that can be found on the main level of my house. I love that these pretty baskets can organize and even make unsightly items look better. There are many other baskets I’m going to line, and they are just one more thing added onto my “after Christmas to-do list” (which is longer than Santa’s scrolled list).
How do you keep your junk things organized?
Peace
P.S. Lame-o on the date stamp on the red basket. Ooops!
