Craft Retreat 2013

We were able to get our cabin all put back together from the fire and the flood, just in time for my craft retreat this weekend.  (Sometimes it helps to have a deadline that you are working for!)  The new carpet was installed on Monday and we arrived on Thursday!  The ladies were all kind enough to help me put a couple of the beds back in the right place and do a quick little clean-up.  

We started the weekend with a shopping trip to World Market and a couple of other places, then we had dinner at Cafe Rio, a favorite of everyone!  After dinner we drove up to our cabin.  There were 6 of us and we had a great time over the course of the next two days getting to know each other.  We crafted, we ate, we talked, we laughed, we ate, we crafted some more and just had a great overall time.

This is what the loft looked like most of the weekend.  We were painting, sewing, paper crafting and doing vinyl!  We were able to complete 5 different projects in one day!  It was pretty much a marathon, but such a fun one!  We started Friday morning right after breakfast and ended at about midnight!  With only a couple of breaks in between.

Craft Retreat

We had a fun little craft retreat at our cabin this last weekend.  It was kind of fun because I had my sister bring a friend, and my friend  brought her sister and I brought another friend.  So we all had someone we knew and then we got to make new friends!  It was great.  Each group was supposed to bring a craft for everyone else to make.  We did not put any restrictions on what we would do, we just put a $10 limit on each project.  It was so much fun to see what everyone came up with.   I decided that since I was hosting that perhaps I should do two crafts, well guess what… so did every one else!  So instead of 3 projects, we made 6.  Oh what fun we had!

We crafted, ate, went shopping, ate some more, giggled, fed the deer, crafted some more,  stayed up late talking, ate again, fed the deer again and crafted some more, then went shopping again on the way home!

Here is my fun little group with one of our projects: How fun is this for Halloween?   (a tutorial is coming!)
