Retreat - day 3. Chocolate wine breaks out

I finished the scrappy Bargello to the top stage. It looks far better then I thought it would! Everyone loved it!

Then I worked on my churn dash 6.5 blocks for a while and got 15 done.

Then I worked on houses with different things in the windows. Everyone got int finding me things to piece into the tiny windows. So I have 15 new tiny tiny tiny houses! Lots of kitties and pumpkins, some hearts, a pair of fishes that I put in upside down, a giraffe and some spiders tomorrow.

I have so many Halloween things because Harriet is working on a million Halloween aprons for sale at the knights of Columbus sale.

And I cracked open a nice bottle of the chocolate wine that PattyA got me turned on to. Yes, you know you did it! And I suspect that next time I will have to double my order!!! I carefully kept the origin of purchase so they HAVE to invite me if they want more!!!!!

  4. Didn't know you bought the chocolate wine - I keep it in the fridge and just drink it straight from the bottle This way I get my exercise running upstairs from the studio to the kitchen to get a belt of wine and it stays cold!

  5. Sounds like you are just blasting through a big list of projects. Can't wait to see them at Show and Tell. Chocolate wine sounds fantastic. I'm gonna have to get invited to try some. I can see how it might be addicting. Great retreat food!

  6. I bought chocolate wine a few days ago and am really impressed with it. It starts off in your mouth as a Merlot taste but as you swallow it the chocolate taste comes through leaving you a delicious after taste. Its fairly sweet but is a red wine.
