Föderation EN Mi 27.12.2023 16:43:24 Lots-of-alone-time project update: I picked a bunch of willow yesterday because we have tons of it, and I started trying to make a basket after watching a bunch of youtube videos. Turns out...it's a bit harder than I guessed at first! But maybe I'll manage to make a couple of crappy baskets. We'll see... I also learned that willow branches wobbling around in the air while I work (badly) with them is ABSOLUTELY irresistible to cats, who kept attacking the willows. Not helpful, guys!

Föderation EN Sa 30.12.2023 15:50:48 I made a little progress on this willow basket...this is hard! Doesn't help that my cats really badly want to chew on it.

Föderation EN So 31.12.2023 00:06:44 I harvested a lot more willows today. The dogs were very helpful (well, they weren't unhelpful). The cats, on the other hand, completely lost their minds when I brought the branches inside, and tried to destroy the world. Or at least the willow branches. The goats were very happy to help clean up the leftover willow cuttings.

Föderation EN So 31.12.2023 22:00:24 Basket finished!! (Despite the best efforts of the cats to sabotage everything) It's got a lot of mistakes and a lot of gaps, but it's incredibly sturdy. I am pretty happy with it! Time to start another one!
