Well, that was just a lovely time away! Thursday through Sunday away in the Pocono Mountains with some wonderful friends and time to craft. Bliss.
Oddly enough, I did not get anything finished this weekend. I actually started 2 new projects–so much for conquering a few WiPs. I also was busy taking pictures of what everyone else was doing, and forgot to take any of my own work.
I got a gift for my mom started, and began a huge crocheted bag for myself. I also experimented with a new lacy coaster pattern, but by the 3rd round realized the yarn I had was too big, and so set that aside. We ate well, took long walks, sat outside and laughed a lot.
Here’s some of what my friends were doing, clockwise from top left:
-Thoughtful flower pins to give to all the women in the nursing home where her father lives, for Mother’s Day
-Documenting family milestones with scrap book pages
-Home made spring rolls, not a craft but look how pretty!
-Finishing up a charity afghan for the local hospice program
-Piecing a friendship quit top for a friend who recently lost her husband
-Learning how to crochet with hemp twine
There were busy hands this weekend, and I lover the variety of things everyone brings.

That sounds like fun. Plus opportunity to learn new things.
It is. I usually pick up some new project ideas from what other people bring.
So envious of your crafting weekend !
I am not even going to pretend it isn’t something to envy. I hope we can keep doing it for years.
I’m having a day at a craft fair with my best friend tomorrow so I shall just have to be satisfied with that!
