I finally finished this lovely little high chair with seagrass.

I started weeks ages ago but after using up the first spool of material I found that the other spools were of such poor quality I couldn’t use them.

Anyway after sourcing some much nicer material I had to start over as it was a slightly different size to the first lot! Basketry teaches you so much, not least of all patience! See below for the ‘before’ photo. 😊

Lovely to be included in the current issue of Reclaim magazine (issue 58). It’s focus is on my repair work. 😊@karenlawrencebasketry @reclaimmag #basketryrepair #willow #willowrepair #addextrayears #newleaseoflife #thebasketryassociation #theworshipfulcompanyofbasketmakers

Willow bird tables finished and soon to be heading to their new home.

What is the collective noun for a group of willow bird pods? A gaggle or a bevy perhaps? These are heading to Kent, to a new shop opening in April. Will post details about that soon. @karen_lawrence_basketry #willow #willowbirdpod #birdpod #feedthebirds #birdhouse #willowforthegarden #gardenwillow #madeinsuffolk #suffolkcraft #thebasketmakersassociation

This lovely teapot had lost its lid. The owner asked me to make it a new one, a little worrying as the teapot is in Spain. However, glad to report that it fits.

Replacement laundry basket lid. Quite a big one at 52cm. Good to know the laundry basket it lives with will keep going for years to come. 😊@karen_lawrence_basketry #willow #buffwillow #laundrybasket #willowlid #laundrybasketlid #willowlaundrybasket #repairsmakemehappy #happyfriday
