Packing Again….

It seems hard to believe that in less than two weeks I’ll be in Arabia again… when I got here almost 2 months ago I thought I had all the time in the world… and now I have 10 days and still lots of things I want to do while I am here!
I thought I’d try to be organized and start packing early rather than the day before… novel idea, don’t you think?
There has been lots of re-arranging and weighing… some things went in the case, then out again:
I had wanted to take my hand quilting frame… but I took it out again… 2.3kg of other things to put in.. like the very important Holly Cottage Christmas book for our Stitchalong:
The problem with patterns is that they weigh a lot… but we need them, right?
Needed to put some more UFOs in if I am going to reach my goal… so in they went, including this one:
So far the suitcase is 28 kg, out of my 30kg allowance… Thank goodness I have an extra 12kg bag allowance because I haven’t packed my clothes yet (who needs clothes?) and there are other things I NEED to put in, like class samples… 🙂
Oh well… in other news, I am working on the calendar quilt block of the month:
I’ve also got a couple of quilts that need to be done on Emmie G… so I’d better sign off here and get to work 🙂
Hope you all have a great weekend!
You wont need many clothes, and you don’t wear jumpers even when it’s cold!! And do I detect the edge of a little case at the bottom? That’s important!
hi Joy boy i am going to miss you,love your UfO,hope you can fit your clothes in xx
you are very organised I am a last minute packer mind you it is 15 years since I was away for more than a couple of nights. Re your hoop I am doing hand quilting with perle thread but no hoop, will it stop me pricking my fingers on my left hand if I use a hoop? They are so sore
Can’t believe you’ll be gone again in 2 weeks. We’ll book in for a visit when you get back. I wonder how much UFO work you get done with all the teaching & other distractions that await you. I’ll ring before you go. Take care.
That friendship embroidery made me smile. It looks a little crazy and fun.
We are going to have to call you the ‘airplane queen’-as you are always up up and away!!! You will figure it all out–maybe you just need to have a wardrobe there and one in AU–then you can just pack all the funstuff for both places!!
enjoy the moments, di
I was just whining earlier about how fast the last two months have flown by and I am not even packing up to go somewhere.
I have faith in your ability to get all the important bits in your suitcase. Clothes are not important!!
Gosh time does fly! Hope your last minute preparations go well 🙂
I bet it is hard moving back and forth across the world like you do. I am just moving back and forth for a day or two here and a day or two there between home and where my hubby is working and I find that super exhausting! Sewing is more important than clothes – even though you are going to Arabia!!
Wow, that went fast! Can you mail some smaller things, like the book and patterns? Or is that way too expensive, too? I hope you have clothes in Arabia, if you are only taking 12 kg of clothing. LOL
