Crabapple Hill Retreat part II

I'm back!!  My friend Roxie and I went to the Crabapple Hill Retreat last week and it was so much fun!!!  It is in Washington state,  can you say "Road Trip".  We loaded up the car and headed out bright and early on Thursday morning.  Of course we had to stop at Micky D's and get our beverage first and then off we went!!

Roxie was the designated picture taker and navigator,  she wasn't on her A game where the picture taking was concerned.  She would snap the picture after we passed what ever it was she was supposed to be taking.  Well, come to think of it her navigation skills were off too,  sheesh!!  I must get her some med's for the next trip.  Roxie and I have traveled together before, and she is easy to travel with.  I am not sure she would say the same about me. This is the little box of "survival" she made for me.  I was a lameo and didn't get her anything!!  She also made me a cute crochet blanket,  I owe her big time!

Crabapple Hill Retreat

I will be posting pictures and projects that we have been doing at our Crabapple Hill Retreat that my friend Roxie and I are at in Washington.  The food is fantabulous and the friends we have met are wonderful!!  I am not sure that I want to come home!!  If you have a chance to come to this retreat it is the best!!!  Meg and her family ( and Jan) are wonderful hosts.  It couldn't have been better!!  Thanks Crabapple Hill we love you and will be back (probably sooner than you are ready for us)

A trip to remember!!

I apologize for my lack of posts lately, but, once you read this you will completely understand.  I have always wanted to go on a retreat,  something that I didn't organize or that was too close to home.  I have been wanting to go to the CrabApple Hills retreat for sometime but always seem to miss the deadline to sign up and then when I remember it is filled for the year and then some.  So, I was driving down the freeway and my cell phone rang,  I don't usually answer the phone on the freeway but didn't recognize the number and had a weird feeling I should answer it.  It was Crabapple saying they had a cancellation could I make it,  What? Of course I could make it!  wild monkey's on brooms couldn't have kept me away.  So, I called my friend Roxie and told her that she was about to take a road trip with me to Benton City Washington!!  I missed many photo ops along the way but got some great ones of Meg's house and studio.  This was so much fun!!  If you love to stitch then this is the retreat for you!!
This is just a few of the pictures from the retreat!!
Enjoy,
Nadine
