Craft Camp

A month or so ago Ellen and I had the opportunity to attend a women's craft retreat in the Texas Hill Country. I can't rave enough about it. It was set at her summer camp, but we got to be in a more grown-up friendly area of the camp. All of our meals were provided and we had access to a big room set with tables, outlets, etc.
The women we met from all over the state were truly amazing, hilarious and full of life. There were about 20 women who did everything from scrapbooking to quilting to beading to painting.

And she made a Valentine's wreath

And a few wreath pieces were fashioned into a barette

I worked on a long-time UFO.... a Karen Stone pattern that I have fallen in love with all over again. It was really nice being able to spread everything out to see what I had done and so I could ensure a good variety in colors and block patterns.

They are hoping to make this an annual event and Ellen and I are definitely going to be first in line to make reservations next year.
