Christin, Tracey and I actually started the weekend a day early. Thursday morning we packed up the car and headed down to Beatrice's place. She was hosting lunch and stitching at her place for the day, and was kind enough to put the three of us up for the night!
Merry Cats-Mas
Freebie ???
Stitched on: Mystery 28ct linen
Stitched with: DMC
These two are from the free kit that came with the magazine
Cross Stitcher
Issue 260, December 2012
While at Beatrice's I managed to squeeze in a few happy dances! Now I admit one of these was ALMOST finished and the other two well they're the kind of thing that only takes an hour or two.
Friday morning Bonnie joined us at Beatrice's and we all headed out for breakfast. I must admit that breakfast is my favorite meal out, how about you??? Bonnie was such a sweetie and sneakily paid the bill for ALL of us before we knew it had happened! Thank you Bonnie what a treat! Then it was time to head off to our favorite stitching destination, the Timberhouse!

Friends, stitching, laughing and eating/drinking. Can it get any better? I don't think zo! ;-).
You did make a great progress on your Accolade!
Kind greetings,

P.S.: I had to smile with the burning ceremony but I would've kept the leftover threads (always come in handy for small projects :-)
These are always my most favorite posts! Everything is always so fabulous.
Wow, what a lot of eye candy! I think that is my favorite part of retreats...walking around seeing all the lovely things everyone else is working on. At least, that's my excuse for not getting more done when I go to one. ;) Congrats on your finishes!!
Great retreat pics! I love the ceremonial burning of Smaug, lol!
