Vacations are fun, but I want to get back to work.

MrG doesn't really like to leave his working. He's down to part time and probably will never give it up. I took the grandson to Chicago for a week and we had a blast. I am a homebody too and I love to sew. You only live once. You may as well love it.

I used to do a lot of traveling but since I became involved with basset hound rescue I find most of my traveling revolves around basset friends or events. I haven't gone anywhere without 2 or 3 of the hounds in years. If I'm going to friends for longer than a weekend I pack up my machine and fabric and sew while I'm away. You'd think I'd get more finished than I do-right?

every time I go in my quilting room it feels like a mini get away :-) . as for the real thing, i love to travel and see new places, experience new people, foods, cultures - and of course always hunting for a quilt shop while i'm traveling. that's where my avatar name comes from :-) I try to do see bits and pieces of the world as often as the budget allows. but there is no place like home :-)

Our big vacations are usually a week or so but I don't take any quilting with me. I would make sure the house was in order before we left so I could get back to my sewing machine when we returned and not have to do housework or laundry. During car or plane trips my mind wanders to what I was working on, ideas for new quilts or mini remodeling for our house. Shorter weekend vacations most likely include a stop at a fabric shop.

When we go see to my father-in-law I feel like I should be sewing. I do enjoy taking care of him and visiting, but get "ansy" having to just sit, sit, sit, sit! I have some hand projects that are portable so I take them along and work away. I feel your pain.
