I've been trying to find a basket that I could use for a mending basket. It needed to have a lid of some sort and handles because I want to be able to easily take it outside if I need to. My son is always wanting to play outside and I like to be out there with him, but I always feel weird just sitting there doing nothing. I was thinking that I could work on my mending or any hand sewing while he is playing so that I don't feel like I'm wasting time. My dad happen to call the other day when I was looking online and told me that he thought my mom had a old picnic basket in the closet just filled with "stuff". Turns out he was right and my mom brought it over this afternoon. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, it needed a little sprucing up. I made a liner with some fabric that I already had and now I'm trying to figure out how to reattach the handles because they apparently came off a long time ago and she laid them in the bottom. It's a little big, but with two boys and a husband I guarantee I'll have all kinds of mending to do in no time. 
(The liner is green and what hobby lobby labels as rustic woven plaid, not sure why it looks blue in my picture.)
