I never leave the house without a sewing project. Couple hour trip, overnight or weeks vacation!! I have sewn in campgrounds and hotel rooms. I have a "go" bag, with hand sewing projects for the car. I even will take hand sewing into a meeting if it is a "sit and lsiten" type meeting. My hands HAVE to be busy! We go up north for weekend getaways and I take sewing with me. I will stay at the cabin and sew for a day while the others go sight seeing! That is my idea of a vacation!! DH is used to it. LOL
