Here's a "winter" view from my deck looking out to the main channel. Things will start changing fast as the trees bud out!

Hello! Welcome to my blog. I am learning about it, and will post some pictures soon. I live at the Lake of the Ozarks, in Missouri, and am in the process of setting up a "mini-retreat" place for small groups in my home for quilters, scrapbookers, stitchers, rug hookers; just about anything creative women like to get together and do. I plan to begin having guests in June. There will be a workshop space and 2 bedrooms for sleeping. I know how we girls like to spend time with our friends, sharing our passions, and this is my goal.

I love to do hand work; piecing, applique, quilting -- and sharing the relaxation and fun of these skills.

Stay tuned for more information about my journey!
