5th Annual Crafty Friends Retreat is over

I had a wonderful time at the retreat! My time and schedule was my own except for meal times which are scheduled. I ate too much!

My first completion was one block from my BOM Civil War Tribute. It was BOM 3 and took much longer than I expected. I had to figure out the finished size of the HST in order to get the block to overall size.

The second completion was a set of patriotic pillowcases for my GS. I will get them to him in time for voting day in November.

My third completion was a standard bed size reversible fleece blanket. It will be a Christmas present for MIL. It is black on one side and has white flowers with a black background on the other size. It went very quickly.

I have signed up for next year's retreat. I still have to find out exactly what dates.

Have a nice day.

I am starting to feel my finger tips

After all the research I am learning not to lean on my left elbow. So much is done with the mouse at Ancestry dot com.

I have found ancestors for myself and DH that lived in the 5Th century.

WOW

Have a great day.

21 hours until the Retreat

I have added an additional two projects to take with me. One is a double sided fleece blanket for my MIL. It is in black and white. The second is a project from my LQS that will be a table cover.

Yes I am counting the hours, minutes and even seconds.

I know I will arrive too early tomorrow morning. Check in is at 10:00 A.M. I really want to leave the house at 8:30. I would get there around 9:00. Maybe they will let me bring in my machine and projects or maybe not. I have a great book to read and will sit on the porch that surrounds the building where we have our retreat. The weather is supposed to be in the low 80's all weekend long and sunny every day.

I am so stoked that I have completed several projects at work this week. I am on a streak.

Have a great weekend.
