Trying to get some sewing done in the RV

Trying to get some sewing done in the RV [Photo]I am finding it kind of hard to get much sewing done in the RV. I have to use the bed as a cutting table, and the sewing table is so small, there is not much room. But I am making the best of it. There are so many fun things to do every day, I am easily distracted. We have been taking our dog to the ocean every day or every other day so he can play on the beach. He loves to fetch in the water. We went to a flea market yesterday and had a great time shopping for fresh veggies and fruit. Three mornings a week the RV park has water aerobics, which I am really enjoying. Also, Chuck and I have been riding out bikes around the neighborhood.

Finally online in Florida

We made it to Florida safe and sound. We have spent the last week getting settled and getting use to the new area. We went to a super bowl/birthday party at our good friends in West Palm, we are going out on their boat tomorrow. The weather has be really great high 79's to high 80's.I did a lot of hand sewing on the trip down and since I have been here I have cut out the flowers for a French Roses quilt that I am going to make.The pattern came from the Quilt Pink magazine 2007. If you can find it it is worth the money, there are so many great quilt patterns in it. Also, the French Roses quilt pattern is available at quilt shops and online

The countdown has begun

The countdown is on, we are leaving for Florida on Wednesday morning January 30th. We hope to be there by Friday. That's when our reservations begin and we will be there until the end of March. We have a 5th wheel and stay along the way two nights. I have my little Singer Featherweight machine packed and ready to go with lots of fabric, patterns, etc. Hope to do a lot of sewing while I am relaxing. We will also be going on a cruise to the Bahamas with our good friends that live near where we stay. The bad part about going away for two months is we will miss our grandkids. We take care of our 3 year old grandson Andrew alot while his mom is at work, so we are really attached to him. That is his him getting his hair cut by his mom. They will be visiting us in Florida sometime in March.

Longing for warm weather

I am longing for warm weather. I am going to Florida next week and I can't wait for sunshine and warm breezes. I am taking my small featherweight sewing machine so I can sew outside on the picnic table.

Sock Monkey

I have always loved Sock monkeys and I made this one for my grandson.
