St Michaels girls getaway! 🦀

I don't know if you remember, but in April we were supposed to celebrate Cori's birthday in St. Michaels. She ended up getting sick on her birthday 😢 and we couldn't go.
To make a long story short, Sallie, at The Parsonage Inn, was so accommodating, she let us postpone our trip to another time with no price change. So this past Sunday, we headed there to have some belated birthday fun!

Cori had never been there before so I knew it had to be special. In a way the delayed trip was better, the weather was absolutely perfect.

The flowers were out everywhere, so very beautiful.

This was the inside sitting area.

And this was next to it, with the dining room through the doors.

This little guy was waiting for us on the bed.

I set up a fun candy bar to celebrate her 50th.

There was supposed to be four of us, but only Kerri could join us. Our bedroom had a sweet sitting room and another additional little bedroom so we were all together.

We ventured out to see the sights and shop the shops.

I love that we're still in Maryland!

This bad boy can stay in St. Michaels!

So many decisions, but we finally decided on where to go for dinner...

Good choice!

Our dining view on a beautiful evening.

Oooh, love those flags! 

OMGoodness, so delicious! Although I had to help Cori finish hers!

The 50's club!

And you can't go to St. Michaels without seeing a mermaid.

My two favourite goofballs!

We'll be coming back again, hopefully with more friends and staying longer?

Oh yes, we were party animals.

I was able to stitch a little while I was there, but especially liked being able to stitch outside our room in the morning. I figured this was the perfect piece to start there.
I wish I had taken a picture of our breakfast, it was amazing!

And our last bit of fun before heading back home.

My treasures from the trip, no big surprises.

St. Michaels getaway

It's that time of year, stitching at St. Michaels!
I got there early, so I took a drive further down to Tilghman Island to see what it was all about.

 On my way back, I stopped in here to get a sandwich for dinner. Totally adorable country store! And the owner is originally from Catonsville, where The Stitching Post is! He loves living here.

It finally stopped raining on Friday.

Feeding the family?

Dang it, more rain.

And now for the stitchy stuff...

We participated in a Halloween exchange and these were the goodies everyone made.

This is what I randomly chose - perfect for my Trick or Treat Fairy!

This is the cube I made - from a publication in 1982!

In the white elephant, I was lucky enough to keep this as no one stole it. Now to find time to stitch it.

We didn't officially do goody bags, but some of us did a little something. I made the scissor fobs to match our Halloween theme.

My mermaid progression.

I took a break from here and picked up Emerald Mermaid.
I'm still not happy about her skin, I should have done it over one. But since it's for me, I'm going to try and not worry about it.

They all really "loved" the stork, so I had to include her!

Until next year...

Time flies when you're having fun!

Guess I've had fun, it's been a while since I've posted!

In April, the gmen celebrated their 18th birthday. When did that happen?!

My mil signed up to have their birthday announced at school, I had to "threaten" them to pose for me!


Then I met Karen in North Carolina to celebrate her birthday. Our mid-way meet was in Elm City, at a sweet bed and breakfast.

We stitched and stitched, 

and had a Miranda marathon! Such fun, such fun!

May brought the annual stitching weekend at St. Michaels with DJ and friends. A storm rolled in while we were there, awesome to see close up!

 We did an ornament exchange - lucky me, I received DJ's, the one on the lower left, love it! I made the tiny ones, the Rudolph sweater that I didn't think would be so small, and the hanging wish list.

Already looking forward to next year with this group.

How cool, I found the ducks to match the Sunflower Diaries: Joyful World!

And on that note, I'll catch you later!
