I got to go on a crafting retreat a few weeks ago, and it couldn’t have come at a better time in my life! So many negative things are going on right now, I really needed something positive to counter all of the yuckiness.
I joined a
group of 9 other crafty ladies at the Pioneer Ridge B&B for 4-days/2-nights
of paper crafting and lively chatter. We all gathered at the B&B on
Thursday afternoon and set ourselves up at our chosen table. There was plenty
of room for each of the crafts going on: two ladies worked on felting, several
had card-making crafts, and a few had sewing or embroidery projects.
Our rooms were lovely, with comfortable beds and luxury baths. We were assigned roommates which worked out perfectly well since we were only in the room to sleep at night. All the rest of our time was out in the common area or the dining room/kitchen.
Meals were handled quite well, I thought. Breakfast was of course provided by the B&B. We were on our own for lunches, but we had all brought plenty of snacks I almost didn’t even bother eating what I had intended to eat. For the dinners, we were divided up into three groups, each group responsible for one dinner. My group cooked a lovely pasta dish, and I was tasked with providing the salad.
As an added treat to the whole weekend, they invited a masseuse to come give full-body massages, if we so desired – and I, of course, took full advantage. She was reasonably priced and was quite good. I will never understand how those people manage to do what they do – she did at least 5 massages back-to-back each day Friday & Saturday! How do her hands manage that?
I had such a
good time, and really got a lot done. I am looking forward to possibly joining
them again for their next retreat!
