Retreat-Saturday

Saturday

I got the okay to shop from my hubby "Bob". Berly was nice enough to take me back to 2nd Street Beads and I picked up a few things that I found in the magazines I had purchased earlier at the retreat.

Then we had our own truck show from Monster Bubble designer Heather Holland Daly. A stitcher and a beader, a girl after my own heart. LOL!

My purchase from the trunk show.
Then she give us a class on stitching on screen. Which was fun and I plan to make mine into a bracelet.

Turns out that Berly is a model stitcher for Monsterbubbles. Heather brought two pieces Berly stitched!

Then we were off again to Illinois to another cross stitch shop "Mom & Me". Very nice lady that owes the shop and she was very helpful. Looking for patterns, buttons and even sewn a piece of material that one of the girls bought from another shop.

Debra H is laughing because I said "better move that butt or your be in my picture".

I received most of the snowman patterns from the retreat, but I didn't have this one. Vickie found it for me.

A change in cars, I came in Debra H car to the cross stitch shop and left in Meari's car to go to Hobby Lobby before they closed. Meari was going to show me the good stuff to buy so I could do my own mat cutting.

I also bought this from Meari, she had two.
My one and only start and finish that I had at the retreat.

Earlier in the day while Berly and I were going to the bead shop, Vickie, Karin and Meari went to a community yard sale. One of them found this box of treasures and this is what I picked out. Thanks girls.
