The trip to San Francisco was a ton of work, exhausting but also exhilarating! I get very nervous beforehand so when things go well I get extra charged up.<\/p>\n

Wednesday was our travel day. We stayed in an Airbnb<\/a> which was walking distance from Fort Mason- very convenient since we don’t rent a car. This is a view of where Renegade happens-<\/p>\n

That building in the middle of the pic (white roof) is the one. Gorgeous, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Thursday was for errands which can take a long time when using public transportation. Of course we also get some fun city touring in at the same time. I needed to get supplies for my booth and for my class. I had a plan (excuse!) to buy my class threads out there because I could go to Lacis<\/a> where they have EVERYTHING!<\/p>\n

I am teaching a number of classes in the next 1\/2 year and I thought I would get myself some class specific threads- an entire rainbow plus the neutrals. Yes, that was fun! It is almost all DMC Perle Cotton sz 8.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons I was stressed out beforehand was because it was looking like my box of class supplies was not going to make it in time. The day before we were leaving I made the call to pack a whole second set of supplies- and a good thing too. The boxes showed up at 2:30 on Friday, during the class and I only got them because I chased the UPS man after he just left a note on the door- grrr. That was most of my show inventory too. Anyway, it all worked out with me just a bit flustered with my second set of, not so complete, class stuff. Everyone did really well, it was a wonderful group of interesting people and I hope to do it again next year!<\/p>\n

There was one more that had to leave early. Aren’t they wonderful?!<\/p>\n

Renegade took up the weekend. My booth-<\/p>\n

Lots of my little guys found new homes on the West Coast. And here is me- they always have a free photobooth at Renegade and so I took advantage of it.<\/p>\n

Monday was the day to pack everything back up and ship it home. And go to Britex<\/a>. I’ve never been there before… yes, it was amazing! It was a great trip although I didn’t have time to just relax and see friends. That will have to happen next time.<\/p>\n

Next up, Art Retreat<\/a> (I think there is still room if you are interested) and then Renegade Chicago<\/a>. It is busy around here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
