Crafty Weekend

It has been once again too long since I have last written anything about my adventures, whether they are crafty in nature or exploring the city around me with Geo-caching. I have yet to go geo-caching (hopefully soon, I am anxious to go and find my first cache!) So I suppose this post is going to be about my crafty weekend I shared with my friends.

Saturday was our 12 hour stitch-in. I have been battling a double ear infection and sinus infection so I really wasn't myself. That morning it was snowing (can you believe it? It was the end of May and snowing!) My mother in law and I met my two best friends at a local restaurant for breakfast before we headed over to The Stitching Corner.

It was cold so we only ventured out a couple of times, once to go to Starbucks and to the tea shop around the corner.

I can now say that I am almost halfway through the "H" for my best friend. She had to buy another skein of thread since I only had 3 yards left and still half of it to complete. I am excited about getting it done, so is H. for that matter. lol. We did all have a great time at the stitch-in. I 't wait until the one in July!

The only downer was that the stitching retreat is on the labour day weekend in September so none of my friends are going to be able to attend....which also means that I wouldn't have a ride out there. (I am not allowed to drive standard anymore because of the injuries I received in the car accident). Well...too bad, we will just have to have our own stitching retreat.


Sunday I had planned a lazy day since I was still not feeling well. H. called me and asked me if I would like to accompany her and Miss V. (her daughter) to Heritage Park to the Quilt Festival. Even though I wanted a lazy day at home I still wanted to get out of the house for a few hours so I jumped at the chance.

I loved seeing all the quilts, something for me to aspire to. H. helped me purchase some fabric since I am still unemployed (hopefully this week I will hear if I got the position I interviewed for last week). I saw so many quilts! I wanted to stop and pet them all. :)

How come all my hobbies (and want to be hobbies) are expensive?
