Oh well. The vendors opened at 9am. So I got some stitching in and started shopping. There are 9 vendors setup and they did not disappoint. I spent way too much money just as I knew I would. But I got a ton of wonderful goodies. I will post about them when I have time after the retreat. Plus when I've slept better and can stay awake to type haha. Us girls had way too much chatting then and forcing one another to keep shopping. The peer pressure is really strong. So even more money was spent after the first round of too much money was spent. It will all be worth it when I can start these beautiful new projects.....because we all know that's what I needed. More stuff to stitch haha.
We ate lunch at our hotel and got back to visiting (probably more shopping too). Then it was time for dinner and we all started picking on each other about how we didn't get any stitching done at all. A few ladies didn't even get one stitch in. Supposedly we are going to make up for it tomorrow. After dinner we played a few rounds of bingo to win prizes. Then we were ready to not stitch some more haha.
I (barely) worked on the Frosted Pumpkin Halloween piece today. Here is where I was before retreat....
The bed is calling me. So I will obey. Night all!

You know, in order to stitch, one must shop! But at least you got some stitching done. And yes, you must visit as well!
I hope you sleep better tonight, falling asleep while stitching doesn't work very well.
Can't wait to see the new kits from your shopping haul! What you call a lame progress is most of the times a good progress for my projects :)
I can just imagine you hopping in and our of bed throughout the night, must have been the excitement.
Sounds like you're having a lot of fun, Katie! Can't wait to see what you spent all that money on :)
It sounds like you had a very busy first day! And getting all the shopping done now means you have no distractions when you do settle down to stitch! x
