Imagine, I'm delayed in posting about the May Flower Power Retreat, hosted by LinAnn Events!
I pulled this out again, Gman1 and C's wedding sampler. But now that their actual photos show all those beautiful flowers in it, I realize I need to add them. That will require some thinking, which I was unprepared to do there!
I mean, look at all those gorgeous colours!!!
I really didn't do much shopping, but I did find some goodies at Annette's Mind Your Needle! Although the sweet needle holder was a gift from her.
Also forgot this... Interchangeable Scissor Fobs, adorable!
Ah, the freebie table. It's hard not to find something you can't stitch without.
Then it was time for exchange, always a good time!
Although I didn't get to keep the one I originally chose, I did get this fun bag.
The word was SPRING and inside was -
Stickers, (including the Flower Power sticker)
Pincushions with buttons,
Ruler,
Ink marking pen,
Needle holder and minder, (a bee ❤)
Grips
All great stitchy things!
This is what I had to offer.
I bought a bee potholder and opened up the bottom to put everything inside. It almost didn't fit. I propped it on a picture holder stand and added flowers to the back of it. It was a plump bee for sure.
Scissors,
Pattern,
Ruffled Red threat drop,
Ivory Lugana,
Needles,
Glove in a Bottle (lotion),
and floss that spelled SPRING.
Our table this year. We're missing a couple of our friends, we're missing them! Hopefully at least one of them will be able to join us for the next retreat.
And the whole lot of us!
This is what I ended up working on. I wanted something simple that didn't require too much concentration. Wrong... I can't tell you how many times I ended up frogging several stitches!
And then before I knew it, it was over. 😟
So I'm already looking forward to the next one, next month!
