I made a little treat for my cousins. I knitted face clothes from 100% organic cotton yarn (it's so soft!) and cross stitched their initials on some old linen. The linen squares were made into sachets filled with lavender and crushed walnut shells. I bought some lavender-scented French soap and tied everything together with black ribbon. (Audrey, if you're reading this before you leave, act surprised when I give this to you.)Hope your weekend will be fun; I know mine will be!

Sure sounds like a fun weekend. The gifts you made are going to be so special for the ladies, useful and so pretty.
Sounds like so much fun! I love retreats! Enjoy!
Oh do have fun Mary. I will be praying for a safe journey for you and your friends. Won't your friends be so happy when you give them their gifts. That was so thoughtful of you. Enjoy!
Hugs,

Have a wonderful time! You provide the nicest, most personal handmade gifts. Looking forward to hearing about all the fun!
Yay! Sounds like a fun time... ice cream and 10 pounds of Chex mix, lol! I know you will enjoy this so much. Relax and treasure this special time away!
The treats are wonderful, Mary! Very cute idea and I'm sure they smell so delightful!
I haven't been by to visit in a while and it looks like you have been just a busy as you could be. In my retirement all I want to do is craft and craft and craft... at least from November to March :), after that it's garden, and garden, and garden.
Sounds like fun!
After Christmas I'll post some of my project, but I can't do that right now 'cause most of them are for gifts.
Love your blog.
Will be visiting more often :)
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I'm looking forqard to seeing what you accomplished. :)
Can't wait to hear all about it.... and what great gifts! I went 2 years to Meadville with the Pittsburgh Quilting group for retreats. What Fun!!
I could always use more washcloths...... :) Hope you had a great time stitching! And hey, when we were in the States last weekend, I bought the cereal for Chex Mix. Can you believe they don't sell it here? I'm so glad I remembered. I bought 6 boxes of cereal but I wish I had bought more. I love that stuff way too much! And so does everyone else here.
what pattern did you use on your knitted cloths???
