Claytons Scrub Stitchin'

You can find the Linky Party by clicking here.

Who really wishes they were in Baradine, sewing along with all the ladies, sharing the fun and food, not to mention some retail therapy?

Well, we can't all be there, so I am hosting a Claytons Cyber Scrub Stitchin' Linky Party.

For those not in the know . . . .

Where did the term Claytons come from?

In Australian and New Zealand usage, largely illusory; existing in name only. The expression comes (in the 1980s) from the proprietary name of a soft drink marketed using the line 'It's the drink I have when I'm not having a drink'.

So, for us - the retreat we are having when we are not on retreat.

The idea first occurred to me last year and if you look here you will see I did the same thing last year by myself.

I will do a Linky post here on the 9th April when the ladies start arriving at Baradine.
You can add a post each day, or whenever you like.  Just keep going back to the original post.

If you can, put aside some time from the 9th April to the 13th - maybe all the days??, maybe some of the days, maybe just a few hours here and there.  Whatever you can manage.

Start organising now - as if you were at the retreat.   Plan projects, maybe do some cutting, clean the machine....all those things you would do if you were going.

And if you'd like to participate in the "Gala Dinner" night - the theme is:

Winter Wonderland in the Warrumbungles

Who wants to come along?
