Retreat dreaming QLD..........

I'm back home..............not a lot of words..........
the last couple of weeks have been like a yoyo..........
We meet up with Maureen at a random park along the way (as I mentioned last post)............
Found the dream location for a Quilt retreat business...........need to win lotto........or find a friend with lots of money..........succeeded in neither so far..........
visited a stunning old homestead "Glengallen Homestead" who clearly also needs lots more money spent on her...........

loved the stair case............
the features speak for themselves.........
ate to much food.......
enjoyed wonderful company........
actually used a sewing machine........again......
ate more food...........
took my partner in crime all things quilty........
chopped fabric for Susan and myself........
more sewing..........
required therapy so brought fabric - probably cost less
loved the company and being inspired by everyone's projects.............
chain piecing for Chapel Street
worked on Starburst............
made a big mess.........with Susan's help.....
more food.........chocolate mug cake and macadamia icecream..........
channeled Janet...........please note a tiny ruler........
although the pieces maybe to big for her liking..........I may also regret this when I start to size them up......
came home a day earlier then planned and missed a sleep over with Annette.........
Had a stunning glow for yesterday's sunrise...........
Also enjoyed 2 inches of rain and hoping for a few more - lets see if we can fill the dam...........unbelievably we have rain forecast for the next week..........it is possible.....
Have a great weekend..........
I'll be watching the grass grow.......It's a sight to behold..........
Catch you later.....

Bits and pieces and big dreams............

 

Lots of storms over the last week but only 7ml of rain all up..... Some spectacular lighting shows......

I got all the bright fabrics cut for the star burst quilt
Janet sent me some of her gorgeous soap

.... How cool is this bee one......

A few chocolate treats and a piece of fabric.... Perfect thanks heaps Janet......
I've got to visit a few patchwork shops..... It's wonderful to really be in a shop.......

A few purchases may have been made..... Also catching up with friends...... Breaky with Maree and lunch with Fiona and Kris...... Just forgot to take any pics...... Crazy....   

Oops forgot to publish........ So now more has happened....

Had a catch up with Maureen also along the road..... We met at a park...... One thing leads to another and I found an open house so we went for a look...... OMG perfect place to hold retreats......... Does anyone have any spare $$$$$

The girls at retreat are probably sick of hearing about my dream....... We have 4 of us that could go into this together....... But we don't have the $$$$

So I'm off to buy a lotto ticket today.... Wish me luck.....

But I can tell you I've got so many ideas and plans for that place already...... The girls are probably sick of me

But a girls got to dream right.....

So tell me your dream retreat location.......

I'm too busy sewing to share more now.....

Take care.......

Catch you later......
