Guild Retreat

Guild Retreat was earlier this month. (I'm apparently behind on posting) This was my view for most of the weekend. Just imagine more people.

Like this.

And this. We had some great times. Poor Jess and her yarn of doom. I have no idea what happened to this skein, but they had that whole thing moving. Essentiall the chair and Janet acted as part of the swift. I got video too.

It was great because we changed it up a bit this year. We went to Cedar Lakes and were able to stay the whole weekend. And we didn't have to bring food, because they have a cafeteria. It made things so much simpler.

And it wouldn't be retreat without goodie bags and door prices. A bit of the spread can be found below. I got some great fiber from Bearlin Acres. A cute bag with silk yarn. And a new case for my interchangable needles. I'm very excited it has the needle sizes on the pockets. It will make the organization a lot easier.

And I took my bags to sell and I sold enough to buy shoes. Not just any shoes. But my Sketcher Shape-Ups that look like black mary janes so that I can wear them to work. Thank you everyone. I've even gotten a few new ideas for bag designs while at guild. I think I have gotten the pattern and construction figured out. Now I just need to make a couple.
