Hi Girls...

Carol Schmitt and I recently returned from
Meleen and Charlotte's Vermont Getaway.

This was my forth weekend trip.
Needless to say, I love it!
I will show you my journals from the weekends!

The weekend represents
the spirit of friendship
with other women
who also love to craft!

The guest artist for our weekend was
the charming and talented embroidery artist,
Rebecca Sower!

Lots of FUN was had stitching on the porch!
Rebecca shared a charming tale about
the importance of our hands!
Our hands do our work,
raise our babies,
touch our loved ones!

Our hands also make things!
Emboidery!
Stitching!
Painting!
Drawing!
Etc.

This summer...
Carol is joining me as we 
continue our hand work
ON THE PORCH!
Anyone interested in joining us??

TOMORROW
is our first 
"All For The Love of Handwork"
get-together! 

It was  our hope to craft on our back deck....
BUT...
With all of the humidity and rain...
We will be crafting and laughing
inside! 
My daughter is making a quilt...
in my craft room...
