Way back in March, when I had no inkling of how life was going to change so irrevocably, I booked a weekend away, on a crochet retreat with Frank and Olive.
It’s taken quite a while to get my welcome pack, and with so much else to think about I’d almost forgotten about it. However it was a lovely and welcome surprise to receive this pretty box of patterns and information, and promises of jolly things to look forward to at the end of next month.
I’ll be relaxing with fellow crocheters, there will be surprise guests and a special workshop, all in a lovely B & B a short distance from York. I’m looking forward to taking lots of pics so I can tell you all about it when I get back!
I have so much to sort out as you can imagine it’s meant I’ve been struggling to get my Planet Penny mojo back. Today a lovely lunch with a friend, Kay of Arts Desire, when we arranged dates for a couple of needlefelting workshops as well as having a general brainstorming session, has been a great help. I’ve found some amazing ‘blasts from the past’ to share with you while sorting through my mum’s house, my old home, so I’ll be back soon.
And meanwhile I am really looking forward to the Crochet Retreat with Frank and Olive, do go along to the Frank and Olive Facebook Page to find out more.
See you soon…!

I’m sure the Crochet Retreat will be just what you need xx
I expect you will come back very refreshed and ready to get back to Planet Penny.
The crocheting retreat has come along at just the right time, it will be nice to get away with like minded people and will be a big help with your ‘mojo’ (I love York) Looking forward to seeing lots of photo’s

Dear Penny,
Just read your last few posts. I am so very sorry to hear about your mum, but glad that you were able to be with her at the end. The hours I spent with my mom in her last days are some of the most precious in my memories.
It must be both sweet and sad to be sorting through her things. I hope it goes smoothly and that it doesn’t make you too tired.
The crochet retreat sounds wonderful and just what you need to jumpstart that mojo.
Hugs to you from Wisconsin.
Sue 🙂
Lucky you! I’d love to go!
Can’t wait to hear about the retreat 🙂
Sorting out things is both sad and therapeutic – I’m still doing it almost 2 years on and have found it quite uplifting when I come across some of mum’s little “treasures” (ie. items that hold sweet memories) that I had forgotten or didn’t even realise that mum had 🙂
I’m sure you’ll enjoy the retreat – sounds like the perfect thing for you x
