View from the workroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My guild went on retreat over the weekend. It was held at a somewhat revamped Franciscan monastery. I say somewhat because the building with the sewing room was new, modern, spacious and nice. The building with the sleeping rooms was old. The rooms were small, the furniture clean and well maintained, but a mishmash and the bathrooms were super tiny.<\/p>\n

The rain for the past 3-4 months has been difficult for a lot of people, but the result now that it has stopped is amazing.<\/p>\n

SIL #2 told me this was a Redbud. I really enjoy these flowering trees. It was great to see this gorgeous tree whenever I walked to the ironing board.<\/p>\n

Out another window, by Alison<\/a>‘s workstation, was a field of purple and yellow flowers. I think lupin was one of them. I am sure if you check Friend Julie’s blog<\/a> she will be able to tell you exactly what all the plants were.<\/p>\n

\"Workroom<\/a>

The workroom was really nice. It was very modern and there were plenty of outlets and large tables. In this view, you can see Julie’s workstation in the front and the bulk of the other workstations towards the back.<\/p>\n

You can see how many large windows there are. I had no  problem seeing even late in the evening.<\/p>\n

I felt like my workstation was large enough. You can see all the tools and supplies I brought. You also get a peek of the Ultimate Carry All Bag<\/a> I made and ended up giving to Julie. I like sitting next to her. We kept borrowing supplies and tools from each other so it worked out pretty well.<\/p>\n

All in all it was a great retreat. I got enough done – more on projects later – and got some time off from life. The Retreat was really well organized and had the right amount of activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
