What places have you taken your Sewing Machine??

I am getting ready to go on vaccation..I am really excited about this one. My husband had 2 back surgeries last year.. and we had a really bad year.. We didnt know, If he would ever be able to vaccation.. or even continue to walk.. So the year 2011 has really been a blessing for us. He is so much improved.

So, even though, I am excited about our vaccation.. I am already missing my sewing buddies at Sew Weekly, and I just dont know, how I will make a whole week without ANY sewing???

I shared with you all earlier,about my wanting my sewing machine, when I was in the hospital. My husband [bless his heart].. said.."Oh My God..please tell me your not going to bring a sewing machine to the hospital!!!!!!!!"hahaha..

I was thinking about trying to sneak my machine in the trunk.........I feel quite sure..I might find a hour or so.here or there to sew??????? I just know.. he will have the same response......"Oh no.... we are suppose to be on vaccaion...not a sewing camp..hahhaha"

So these thoughts, made me wonder??????????? Where has your sewing machine been??? Has it traveled with you?? Has it stayed home and anxiously awaited your arrival home?? What kind of places has it traveled??

Happy Sewing and I will miss each of your sweet comments and pictures next week. Judy

Hi Judy,

I've never taken my sewing machine anywhere. The old one - A Singer Facilita 288 - is much too heavy to lift and put on the table let alone take anywhere else, although it has 'lived' in Thessaloniki ( where I bought it 30 years ago) , the Island of Samos, and now it's home is in Xanthi. My new one - a Brother Innovis 20 - has a special bag to carry it round in, but it hasn't been anywhere yet. I hope you, your husband and your sewing machine enjoy your holidays and will be looking forward to hearing from you again.

Judy
