Spring 2025 craft retreat

Last weekend I took a couple days off work and went on a craft retreat. It’s my third time at this particular retreat, and as always, I had a great time. 

Here is the outside of the cabin. I’m not sure how old the cabin is, but it was built by Amish craftsmen, and it’s beautiful. One of my favorite things is that the logs used for the banisters and railings still have the knots and curves from the trees.



We had gorgeous weather during the four days of the retreat. Every morning I spent at least a little time on the deck having tea, reading a book, or just relaxing.


There were five of us on the retreat: me, my aunt, one of my friends, the organizer, and one of her friends. It’s the perfect size group for me because everyone has plenty of space to work, we can spread out in the bedrooms, and preparing meals isn’t overwhelming.




I had a great time, ate lots of yummy snacks, and had some good laughs. I wasn’t quite as productive as I had hoped; I brought outline stamp sets and colored pencils to focus on coloring, but I got tired of that and struggled with my mojo. I still made 27 cards, though, so I’ll be sharing over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for stopping by!

So glad you ha some crafting time with friends! I love wooden furniture etc, there's so much 'warmth' in wood, unlike metal or plastic. I love the knots in the wood! I felt so relaxed while reading your post! Thank you also fro all the lovely comments you have left on my blog:-) Sunshine ihearttostamp.blogspot.com
