Although I wasn't planning on going to the retreat this year, I changed my mind and thought a stitching getaway was needed.
Thankfully, I was feeling much better after spending several days doing nothing but getting over pneumonia.
I didn't take as many photos as I normally do, too busy chatting, shopping, stitching I guess!
This was my set up, I worked on my Welsh Dragon the first day.
Mary made me the wooden dragons and I bought the bag from Annette - I love them all! I'll make the little ones into needle minders. Or rather, they'll be displayed in my craft room since I mainly stitch in hand.
And Mary shared her favourite drink - it was delicious!
Since we were so close to Amy's shop, Born To Stitch, I took some of the girls for a visit. We had a great time, we all found treasures we had to get! She's close to getting her online shop open, I'll be sure to post when she does.
Even though I was there two weeks before, I still found a few things I didn't know I needed.
These all hit just about everything I love, just missing a mermaid!
I won the Awesome bag and the rest were table gifts from friends. A sweet haul!
There was a freebie table, and I found a few things. I already stitched my DIL, C, a set of Bride Tree ornaments last year, but I hope to need two more in the future!
We were at the Patriots table and lost in the "stitching" football game. Oh well, it was still fun!
And then before I knew it, it was over and I was home once again. I think these two little stinkers missed me!
I bet you were glad you went! So sorry though that you ended up with pneumonia!!
