Under a Blue Moon

Decor, cooking, organization, all the pretty things

Retreating

Sewing_machine And we are off!  I am joining seven other women for a weekend of sewing, laughing, oohing and for some of us, certainly, seam ripping.

We are going to a Franciscan monastary nestled in the east bay foothills.  The monks will serve us our meals and leave us to our sewing (as long as we are quiet – we’ll have to keep the laughing and the oohing at a respectable volume).

The one rule they do have is no cellphones.  If you want to make or recieve a call you have to go off the grounds and stand by the status of St. Francis at the entrance to do so.

So needless to say the laptop will stay at home – look for pictures and a report on Monday.  I cannot wait to see what everyone brings to work on.  Nothing inspires me like other people’s creativity.

Have a good weekend everyone.
