Crafty Mamas WA Retreat 2010

This weekend was the weekend of the Crafty Mamas WA retreat. I have just gotten home and boy was it a hoot.

Myself and my friend Onah and Crafty Mama Lela all traveled down to fellow Crafty Mama Gemma's house in Bridgetown.

There we were entertained by Gemma and her lovely husband Brad and spent the whole weekend sewing and chatting and enjoying good food and each others company.

We managed to finish a couple of projects including a workshop on Japanese Meshwork thanks to Gemma. Thats an awesome technique and I cant wait to do more of it in the near future. I made a glasses case for Mikes mums birthday from some of my finished meshwork.

I also managed to make a Favourite Things "A Safe Place" Wallet. I am very happy with the result (and very appreciative of the unpicking Onah did for me when I stuffed up some binding!).

All in all it was a wonderful weekend and we are hopefully planning on doing it here in my town sometime soon.

Thanks Gem for a wonderful weekend :)
