IHSW, TUSAL, Retreat, and WIPS

This is going to be one large post, as I have lots to share!

IHSW
First, this past weekend was the Internation Hermit and Stitch Weekend.  Although I was with a group most of the weekend, I did get some solitude before my good friend Dani arrived at Retreat.  Just to prove I had a bit of Hermit time, I took a few pics ;)
Chair for Dani

Where Liane eventually sat

RETREAT
This weekend was also the Knowledge and Needles Winter Retreat.  I arrived just after noon and got all set up.
I will share my progress further down in the post, but here are some finishes from some others.
For more pics, check out Dani and Ann's Blogs :)  Fran will most likely post some too.

Finish by Anne W.

Clare did this one

Dani's two crazy challenge finishes

Liane's finishes

WIP UPDATE
At retreat, I worked on my Winter Mandala by Ink Circles.  Here is a before and after pic.  As usual I did a lot more than I thought I did!

Sunday afternoon I decided to pull out my HAED and stitch a few blocks.

TUSAL
Tonight is also the first TUSAL of the new year.  This is organized by DaffyCat
At the beginning of the year I emptied my ort container like I have the two past years.
So here is my froggy and my Ort container after January has been added.
Lots of orts in froggy this month.  Most from Winter Mandala
