Mark your calendars and join us for another fun filled weekend at Lakeside Ohio. Brochures and registration now being accepted. Retreat open to 25 guests. September 25-28, 2014. This year there will be an optional project. "Pure Joy is Timeless" a 17" circular clock hooked in your choice of color. Dianne Kelly will join us on Saturday during the retreat to discuss her clock pattern and assist in putting it all together to create a functional clock. Don't miss out on the fun. Email Katie and she will send you a brochure. Kallman@zoominternet.net
Here is a glimpse of mine, it does not include the clock mechanism yet but should give you an idea of the pattern.
Looking forward to spending the weekend with lots of friends at Sauder Village Hook in.

LKSD 2013

Wonderful time at the Lakeside, Ohio this year with a great group of gals! We had a delightful dinner on Friday night at Mon Ami in Port Clinton. Thank you ladies for the gift card. It was greatly appreciated!
We worked on many of our unfinished projects and many of us at least made a dent in our to do lists of rugs.
Enjoy the pictures I have included with this post. Heather Kline was there for relaxing massages. Already have requests for her to come back next year.
We had foot spas and delicious eats. Thank you all for contributing to our menu. Look forward to plans for next year in September for our annual event!

Just back from a peaceful time at the lake

LKSD was quiet this weekend, so different from the hustle and bustle of our annual visit in July. Enjoyed time with two great friends and their families. Looking forward to next month's retreat with the hookers.
Class time here in Ashland still available for the first and third Mondays of the month 2pm-5pm. Email me to secure your spot.
