If you follow me on Twitter<\/a>, you might know that I love my bicycle. It\u2019s a men\u2019s beach cruiser that I bought secondhand because I wasn\u2019t sure if I\u2019d use it much. Turns out I use it a more than I thought I would! Chris and I bike on the Hawthorne Trail<\/a> once or twice a week when we are on a roll. A couple of friends often join us, and that makes it even more fun. I\u2019m no racer, and I don\u2019t usually average more than five miles, but I do enjoy getting out and getting some good, clean exercise. It helps that the trail is a beautiful area with lots of trees and the occasional deer or sandhill crane (Have you seen one of those on the ground? They are HUGE!).<\/p>\n

As you can see, I\u2019ve decked Neil (I name most every object that I own.) out pretty well with a fancy basket and a happy brass bell. But he just needed\u2026 more. Not really more bling, but something more happy. Something girly. He needed a basket liner!
\nI had some good ideas, but I wanted someone else\u2019s perspective as well. I found a great tutorial<\/a> at Ruffled Sunshine that I used as a template. Here\u2019s a note if you want to make a basket liner: Make the liner in two pieces like Ruffled Sunshine does. I made one big trapezoid instead of two, and it doesn\u2019t fit nearly as well as hers does. I added pockets all around one side of the liner, as well as little loops for my key fob, and two fabric-covered elastic bands to hold water bottles.<\/p>\n

\nIt turned out great! I love it! But then I realized my little basket needed even *more*. Just a little more. A flower? A string of pennants? A yo-yo! Miss Sews-It-All<\/a> makes a yo-yo that fit the bill perfectly. I happened to have some coordinating fabric in my stash, and whipped up three adorable yo-yos on wire stems.<\/p>\n

Then I wired them directly to the front of my bike basket. Cute as a button! I can\u2019t wait to get my bike back on the trail and show it off!<\/p>\n
