Vodka Easter basket

9 Apr

Today I went to my friend Val’s house today for a

beautiful Easter lunch. She is an amazing cook and prepared a delicious meal for about 15 of us.
It being the Easter season and all, I made her a very special present. It started at another friend’s Christmas party. Val and I happened to be there chatting with each other. Honestly, I am not a big drinker but a challenge was issued and the next thing I knew, Val and I were doing shots of vodka! So on the way to her house today, I stopped at the ABC store and bought a cute little bottle of Absolut to give her a laugh. It not only fit nicely in this basket, but the yellow lettering of the “citron” matched the basket 🙂 The chick was happy to share the space.
The basket took about 10 minutes to make. A few swipes with my trusty Logan straight and bevel cutter to score and trim, a few holes punched with the Cropodile, a little tape gun action and I was on the road! Love this sweet Sizzix flower die designed by my talented friend Brenda Pinnick.
I know I promised to show the wine box I made for Pam. I like it- it’s almost done- but it just needs an extra touch of something… so that means I have to let it sit for a little bit and at some point it will come to me. I have a several projects like that right now, sitting here waiting for the finishing touch.

    Oh, this is funny! I love that story – and now I’m thinking that my next tool investment is going to have to be a Logan cutter…

    Hey Eileen….you must be talking about “my Val!” right? That is so funny…and when I get back from visiting my sister in FL this weekend…I’ll tell you about me and Yvette and drinking shots of Tequila just recently. hahahaha And you know I drink very little…so it’s kind of funny! I adore your little basket…it’s just PERFECT…cheerful and spring-y! I bet Val loved it, too. I miss you! And I totally understand about the other project needing to sit and waiting for something else. I’m a patient woman. 🙂
