DAY 1 of my " at home retreat "

 Normally I would be on retreat at Glenrose with my stitching friends.....

sadly retreats will be on hold for the time being.......

So I'm joining the girls with my own pretend retreat.....

Oh yes.... I'm blogging..... woohoooo.

The day began with sewing the binding on a secret quilt.....

I can't show it just yet until it is gifted.....

My little off sider "Poppy" was happy to enjoy the sunny morning with me.....



While I had my coffee and chocolate snowball....


Lunch time I prepared vegetable soup for Gavan.....
He always made it himself but he is unable to see anything now ..... just blurs.....
 so it is now my job....


After lunch it was time to get back to the binding, I want to get this finished today.....

Binding finished.... yayyyyy


Day 2....

Not a lot achieved today....
Out with Heather for a nice morning tea....


Only a bit of knitting in the afternoon....


Hopefully tomorrow will see more sewing done....

Toodles....

Making the most of a retreat at home... glenrose would be getting some very cold weather so at least your feet are keeping warm! Well done with that long road of curvy binding! and I love the look of your jumper.
