There is a casino nearby and the beach a block away, but I don't think I can go 4 days without sewing. I really don't have any hand sewing to do. I just don't know if I should bring my fabric and machine in the house. I thought if everyone went shopping or something, I could sew. What do you think? It's my vacation.

Jeanne,
My husband and I just spent 4 days in Cannon Beach recently. I took a hand project, Grandmother's Flower Garden, and pulled the table up to the window, watch the storms and sewed. It was one of the most relaxing 4 days I have spent in a long time. I say have fun. Enjoy yourself. The weather is not the best this time of year so sewing and watching the storms will be wonderful.

Sounds like a good idea, if you like to sew, do it, that's part of your vacation. I go on cruises at times, thought it might be fun to go to one that has the sewing and quilting classes, that would be fun for me.

I take mine when I travel. If it is stupid then that's just what I am and I'm OK with that. Would your family really expect anything else from you if you sew in all of your free time? Seems part of you. I say Go For It!!

Th weather has been horrible at the OR coast this past week....and you never know if that could happen while you are there. Which means a lot of inside time.....while the others are watching TV or playing games you can sit and sew.
