There was a friend at my retreat the other week she had her Ikea trolley, you know the one with 3 levels, totally organised with her projects in chinese containers all labelled and tools on the top then her block mat fit on the top of the trolley, envy there.
Next time I will take more sewing to do by machine the lounges weren't comfy enough, too laid beack to sit and hand sew.

Oh, I hope you get to go this time!!!
We are having a stormy week, too, but the roads are paved, so I can go wherever. ;)
Let's see--must haves for a retreat? An Ott light for my old eyes, a "Purple" gel chair cushion (Purple is the brand name), and it seems like there is something else. Oh yes, good quality dark chocolate! And if there is room I'll take my featherweight machine and some projects. LOL

You're well organized. Love, love, love your wooden spoolholder. Have fun on the retreat. I always be sure to take "herriestoppers" with me. Dont know the english word. They are soft and little and you put them in your ears.

Lin said...

Enjoy your retreat - and I too love your spool holder! xx

loulee said...

Love the spool holder. A certain someone may have a new project soon. Couldn't get onto Zoom, hopefully I'll learn one day. Enjoy your retreat. Take care and hugs.

My must not forget items is too many project. You always need a choice of what to work on. And of course. WINE.. and more WINE.

I have to take my chair back, it's a folding insert that sits on top of the chair and gives support to my lower back which most chairs don't. Have a great time!

Happy sewing and don't forget the power board. Oh and the bottle of "bubbles". Enjoy.

My must haves are: My reading glasses, not that I read at retreats, I need them for hand sewing and everything near AND my sewing mojo ;)

Janice said...

Miss Elizabeth is coming along nicely. I have everything crossed that you finally make it to a retreat. For me, good lighting is the most important thing and a variety of projects. Have fun.

Susan said...

machine foot pedal, power cord & feet....essentials

I always bring more than I can do just in case. At least two projects are a must for me. There have been times when my friend arrives at retreat having left necessary project fabric home and was glad she brought a second project just in case.
