One month till retreat time!

August 2, 2016 thecraftsessions
Teachers and us from last year's retreat. Look at all that handmade goodness! And happy faces. x

One month! Till we get to do it all again - and I can't wait. It is my favourite time of the year, watching everyone meet again or meet for the first time. The community and connection make it such a special space, I feel lucky to be part of it.

The next month will be a little busy for us - finalising what we need to finalise in order to make it the special weekend it is. But also this week we are going to release the Anna Maltz one day classes. I can confirm that we have classes organised in September for Melbourne, Country Victoria near Kyneton, Sydney and the Southern Highlands so far. So if you are interested in those then please join our mailing list. I'll send out all the details in the next few days and they will go on sale this weekend..... Yay!

As I'm sitting here listening to the pitter-patter of rain on the roof tonight, I'm updating the blog and feeling pretty bloody blessed. I'm adding the sponsor logos to the sidebar and feel so chuffed that the retreat is sponsored by such a gorgeous and generous group of businesses. All of these businesses value what we value - making and community - and I feel lucky that they make it so easy on me each and every year, supporting us to make the participants at the retreat (and readers of this here blog) feel that bit more special.

I would like to welcome back past sponsors Sunspun, Tessuti, the Fabric Store and Assemblage. And welcome Miss Matatabi, Stitch 56, Wool Days, Yulki's Home Decor, Maze and Vale and Circus Tonic Handmade. Truly big love and thanks to you all for your support!

One month to go my lovelies! I can't wait to welcome you back, or meet you for the first time. It is going to be super. And for all of you following along at home like last year we have a giveaway or two planned for you too! I know you will be with us in spirit.
