Craft weekend has come and gone. We were there one less day than usual, which meant less time to work, but we all seemed to be more focused. There are such a variety of projects that go on. This year included sewing, quilting, scrap booking, crocheting, knitting, macrame, and embroidery.
I was able to finish 3 WiPs, which was part of my goal. The felt mitten ornaments, the ribbon embroidery piece I started in a class back in September, and a scarf which will be a Christmas gift all got completed. I also made a scarf to send home with one of the other members of the craft team to donate to the shelter her church supports.
My final project as starting a hat, but I ended up having to frog most of it because I was busy chatting and didn’t notice that I had missed a stitch a few rows in.
The house we rent is in the mountains, as much mountains as you can find in Pennsylvania, and I was lucky enough to spot a bald eagle flying overhead. We also had many visits from deer who were hoping that some carrots would find their way out of the kitchen.
All in all it was a good break, and a way to hit the “reset” button button before diving into the holiday season.

Sounds lovely! And so productive, to be able to check those projects off the list. I especially like the ornament with the pine cone embroidery!
Lovely is the perfect word for it. I’m glad I got to have some productivity in there as well.
Oh my goodness that sounds like so much fun.
It is. We were calculating it out and this is the 8th year we have been doing it. It is a wonderful tradition.
Wow, I love the embroidery, what great fun!
I’m hoping that this will get me back to doing embroidery. I’ve been sort of yarn-centric for a while now.
Well done for getting so many projects finished. The location of the house sounds amazing. All the chatting and relaxing you did made up for the small amount of frogging you needed to do.
We love the house. We go to the same one every time so it seems like a second home now. Chatting and relaxing are just as important as being productive sometimes.
Sounds so wonderful! So many Beautiful projects! 🙂
I was happy with what I got to accomplish in such a short time. It was a wonderful weekend.
That flower letter came out amazing! You are so talented!
This was a sampler from a class I took. It only uses 5 basic stitches, but I love the result.
