I Did, Did You?!

I spent yesterday morning pootling, hoovering, getting the house in order and biding my time, until Midday.

Then before the twelfth gong, myself and it seems like many others sprang into action and purchased one of these...


Next July!  I don't think I have planned that far ahead since my wedding!

So, I have to ask, are you coming to Retreat II?

I promise I will try to keep quiet about it until about Easter-time, because not going to Sewing Summit, I have endured enjoyed the build up, but understand others don't want to have their noses rubbed in it upset others too much with my excitement xxx

  3. I'm sulking with Susan - well not with with her as if I can't get to London I can't freaking make it to her 'remote corner of Australia'!

  7. *sniff* no, I'm not going either :-( Although I promised myself I would, I just can't justify the costs at the moment.

  8. I am so glad you're coming but bummed for those that can't. I really enjoyed the build up last year but as one of only five 'regular brit quilters' that weren't going it did get a bit tedious when every swap and every other blog post was centred on something I couldn't get involved with. That said I will try not to be like a hyper six year old between now and next July but may fail miserably ;-s

  9. Nope count me out. I will also be stuck in my tiny little bit of the country side in Australia. But hey have fun with out me.

  10. Yep, I'm going. I'll try and keep the build up to less than the SS one, promise!

  11. Yes I am going too! This is way more in advance than I planned my wedding - we went from engaged to married in 4 months (although, as my mother was keen to point out to everybody "there isn't any immediate NEED for them to get married so quickly, you understand....")

  12. If you can find me a rich husband before the tickets are all sold out I'm going. No seriously it's too bloody expensive this year! I'll be sitting here quietly weeping while you lot have fun - poo :(

  13. I'm also joining everybody in the sulking corner.
    Happy for you, really I am.... Ok trying to be.
    Joking, of course I am. Just in a bit of a green way.

  14. I'm going and had a nightmare time to get back to buy my ticket just after 12 uk time :) we can't build it up too much, 37 weeks is too long to bore people with...or is it :)

  15. I have a ticket, and now just have to plot out the rest of the logistics. I am sad about those who might be staying home but am hopeful that they will sign up later on.

  19. I'm going - as I watched from the side lines last year. Though I would be willing to go to Australia instead.

  20. I'm going and I am bummed that a few of my Favorite people will not be going...but so excited to meet all whom I have been stalking for a few years now.

  21. Your Saturday morning sounds like mine! I'm going!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I guess I'll go to the sulking corner too. My hubby said I could go until he heard it was in London. Then he took it back. Said something about wanting to re-tile our house instead...

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think many people had very similar Saturdays. I know I did. It's very sad to see that some people can't come but hopefully they will be able to go the following year :-)

  24. I'm in! I'm in! I'm going to scream from the (freezing, raining) mountain tops. I can't wait to see you all.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I won't be going either, but yay for everyone that is!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Aw I'm really sad for those that aren't coming, will really miss them, I was on and off for weeks, even yesterday mornjng i wasnt sure! but my husband forced me to buy the ticket.....guess he wanted some justification for me selling all out things to get the money together!!

  27. Doesn't look like I'll make it this year - I'm shopping for a home so I'm assuming a mortgage will eat my budget and render international travel a vague dream of an idea rather than a possibility but if I win the lottery...!

    Just finished catching up (took a two month break) and you have been busy! I love your retro flowers - I haven't managed to master curves yet (even with the pattern-recommended foot). Your colour choices are just so lovely. I too bought High Flying Birds and put my fingers in my eyes at the closing ceremonies when Liam started singing. Totally Team Noel over here. :-)

  28. You must have enjoyed the first one, lol, well done for getting a ticket

  29. I am going. After the nightmare of carrying my sewing machine across London last year I am staying at the Grange Strathmore, despite living only a few miles away from the venue ;-)

  30. I'm just going off to sulk in the opposite corner of Australia ! I wish London was closer . I love London .

    ReplyDelete
  31. Why YES, YES, I did. You and I can rub noses.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Me too... i'm in.. Had such fun last year.... Am trying to Keep Calm about it until about May... will that do it do you think?

    ReplyDelete
  33. oh I'm dying to go next year, it looked so much fun! I've just heard about the installment payments system they've set up so I may just be able to stretch the budget now! Hi from your newest follower too!
    Jessie, xo
