Planning Ahead

I have a husband who loves to travel a lot more than I do. I do like to see new places and the recent road trip was a wonderful experience. Now that my Mom has passed, I don't feel so bad about being far away. With that said, we have been discussing the possibility of more overseas trips. Australia, Southeast Asia, Scottland and Iceland are just the beginning of our bucket list. Not as many trips as he would like maybe but enough to keep him content and me, the homebody, sane.

So, I have started to research travel wardrobes, fabrics and packing recommendations so that what I take is lighter, more useful and easier to handle. Quite a rabbit hole I disappeared into this morning. Some of the retail pricing for "travel" clothing seems pretty outrageous to me. Sewing an easy to wear and pack wardrobe for myself might take some time but may be worth the work. Still trying to figure it out. Maybe a combination of both retail and handmade would be best. What I want is a set of clothing that can be combined into many outfits that I can just dump in a suitcase and know I've got the trip covered for wherever we go with adjustments for seasons and weather if I find myself in Iceland or Vietnam. Too much to ask? 

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy! 

Today's Thought

This is not a deep thought just something that occurred to me as I go back and forth between houses. There is absolutely no need for fancy fitness equipment when you are moving. Aerobics? Got it covered. Intervals to increase the calorie burn? Got it covered. Strength training? Got it covered. I know this is true because I am starting to feel the effects in every part of me. I started packing the kitchen today. I will only leave a minimum to keep us fed through the rest of the week. I guess I am really paying the price for being a sentimental pack rat. I suppose I should get back to work.

Still Here

It has been a busy week that has just flown by. I sold 2 more headbands, this time on Artfire. I have been packing and cleaning and doing small jobs between the two houses. We had a potential renter look at our current home. Whether they will take it or not is still up in the air.

I got really lost in memories and ideas for a couple hours sorting through my fabrics getting them ready to move. I have so many ideas! I want to start quilting again. Getting my antique quilting frame out of the attic here and moving to a place where I have room to set it up has got me dreaming and distracted.

Don't expect many posts as I go through the moving process.
