I went to craft camp again this weekend. This time I worked on more than project, which was nice, I finished a top for myself, I almost finished another top (I want to fiddle and think about it a bit more), I finished a knitted baby kimono for my youngest cousin to be and almost finished a second item for the same baby. I made progress on mending an old quilt, I cooked, I talked, I laughed and had an all round excellent time.
I would like the record to show that I remembered to bring all the crafty supplies I intended to bring. I packed crafty things very well. What I did not pack was my wallet (to buy my share of food with) or my camera (it’s a miracle I wasn’t sent home for being a total failure as a blogger). Despite my early onset dementia, the crew let me stay, they lent me money and they took photos. I’m sure they’ll all start posting photos soon.
You should look out for the photos of the very well-loved and well-dressed stork. Thanks to the wild weather, and presumably some long term concrete cancer, his arse does not look big in his outfit.
I still can’t find the camera. I have clearly lost touch with my inner blogger. I’m sure there’s some sort of hippy cure for this and I’m determined to stay positive, embrace the journey and meditate etc until I get back on track.

Yep. You did a STERLING job at remembering the, er, craft supplies. Which only means that you have your priorities in perfect crafty camp order. Lovely to meet you lady.

I forgot my wheat bag and water bottle, there’s always something left behind! So nice to spend time with you and the other lovely ladies, am going to try to get my photos sorted tomorrow.

I love your top. It’s good not to forget the craft supplies, most of the rest is kind of negotiable, as it turns out.
Will send good vibes to your camera, should it wish to be found.
The stork certainly is arseless now.

I’m sure it’s around here somewhere. It was possibly used to photograph the raging torrents. It turns out we live near a real river, not just a little creek. Fortunately we did not rent the first house that was available when we started house hunting two years ago – it backed on to the river. We drove past yesterday, they’re not flooded, but the backyard is very very soggy.

Loved hanging out with you in front of the fire.
And your little boy was very smoochable!

I loved seeing your feet at Craft camp (last time you were hiding under a voluminous hand-quilting project and I wasn’t sure you had any) and hearing stories about your family, you’re a clever, funny person and it was ace hanging out with you again. Oh, and the top you made for you was lovely, and the little green knitted baby top was perfect (speaking as a clucky, nesting pregnant woman) x
