What A Weekend!

Our girls weekend at Allanvale Homestead

last weekend was fantastic.

(Thanks to our host Annie, she most most accomodating)

There was lots of chatting and laughing

There was cycling and boot camp

run by Sergant Woodfine

Boot camp team, Jo and Michelle

Nicole used her weekend away to study

And, Shelley silversmithed

There was tennis

The weather was glorious,

but not quite warm enough for the pool.

Of course there was some

stitching and sewing done,

Wendy, Judy, Bron and Shelley

Bron Stitching

There was a tiny bit of crochet done by Jo.

And I think Simone's cross stitch came out

but no stitches were done.

Michelle, Rachel, Simone, Nicole and Jo

The evenings were spent in front of the open fire,

stitching, bitching, knitting, sipping and nibbleing

There was even a pedicure station!

Tash, Jo and Shelley

And now for some project pics

Just to prove our weekend away was productive.

I quilted the second borns quilt (blue and green one)

 - now to do the binding

Sorry, did I already say that.

I bought these giant paper clip book marks
from Sarah, you can find her shop here,
Thanks for getting them to me so quickly Sarah!

 Iwrapped them with a choccy

to say thanks to the girls that attended.

I still have yours Liesl!

Thanks to Michelle, Lisa, Jo, Liesl, Shelley, Wendy

Oh, and thanks to the Dad's, Grand Parent's
