These girls were troopers!

Last weekend the 21 sweetest, hardest working gals around came to my home to create.  They came from as far away as Texas and Montana and as close as just a few miles away.


They had their heads down and their creativity ON as we sculpted, painted and sewed.


 They came armed with fabulous fabrics, ribbon and trims...


and a plan of action.


We munched and sipped on all kinds of goodies...


 and chit chatted the weekend away...


 I am so honored to have been able to spend the weekend with these wonderfully creative women.


 What a treat!


A special thanks to Sally and Carol for their yummy baked goodies.  They were incredible!


Here are some snaps of some of the nearly completed pieces.  I love how they are all so different...













When it was all said and done....it was a fantastic weekend with some old friends and lots of new ones.


It felt like a mini vacation...little umbrellas and all!


I was sad to see it end....


But Albert and Lola hope y'all will come back again real soon!


I do too!
