Today was time spent away from my loom, among kindred spirits, weaving a gathering basket and raising funds for our library. We tend to make our own amusement here, and much of it involves handcrafting beautiful and practical things. Whenever possible, we try to make it a benefit for one of the worthy institutions in town.
A basket is a very special thing to weave. It’s more than a container. It reminds us that we have a choice in life about what to gather in and what to hold.
