My project plan for this retreat was originally posted here.

And here’s what I got done from my project plan:

Thursday – I left my house a couple of hours after I wanted to but I got to Yucaipa at about 4 so it wasn’t too bad. After settling in I was able to get some stitches in Gamer.

My project for the day is Gamer:

Friday – It was cooler this year and on Friday morning it was overcast. I didn’t walk or do anything but sit in my corner and played with my projects. I did take a nap during the day and it was so luxurious.

Project of the day: MFE 2023

I also brought my daily projects with me and hoped to spend 15 minutes a day on them.

My knitting: By the time I got to this retreat my fingerless mitts that were on the project plan was complete and I picked up my current new knitting WIP instead: St. Mungo’s

“Preamble”

I ended up not taking ‘Spooky Halloween” with me. By the time the retreat was going I had finished the block I was working on. I intended to prep the next block but I ran out of time. So I left it at home.

Saturday –

Project for the day: Titania

Sunday: day to go home.

Project of the day: Blossoms

It was a lovely retreat and I got to hang out with my stitchy friends. Last time I saw them was last February for our Barry Manilow stitchy weekend. They’re planning another trip Feb 2026 but I can’t commit to anything in 2026 right now. I know I will have a serious case of FOMO. I have my guild mini retreat that weekend.

Keep stitching,

Melanie
