IHSW Jan 2013 - Post report

Sorry this post is a day late... assignment had to come first

This past weekend was IHSW.  I did stitch, but hermiting was done with 17 other people as I was at the annual Knowledge and Needles January retreat.

I work on a few other things, but I tried to concentrate on Smaug.  Saturday night we had a bit of a disagreement though.  He does live under my roof, you would think he would discuss inviting a FROG over to visit!  Sunday evening when I got home we talked it out and I kicked that free loading frog to the curb!

Before weekend
After weekend
I will report on my other stitching later.

Now for retreat, here are some pics I thought you would enjoy

Leslie's Ornaments.  SO CUTE!!  She did a great job on the finishing

Oh that evil Smaug. He should know better than to invite frogs to a stitching party.

Looks like everyone was very busy!

Looks like a wonderful weekend. Love the stitching room. And such lovely finishes.

You've made excellent progress on Smaug, inspite of the unexpected guest.
