Why is it I came back from vacation as or more tired than when I left?! Oh, well...guess that means I had a good time. We went on a cruise to the Bahamas. It was nice to catch up with old friends and to not have any housework to do but I found I did a lot of walking (these ships are big) and combined with some late nights I way overdid it. Didn't get much sewing done - I did pack lots of little projects but did more reading then anything.
Today I went to a class on how to care for my little Featherweight sewing machine...boy, did it need some TLC. The machine is in pretty good shape but the case is really bad. Tomorrow I am taking step one to get rid of the nasty smell that keeps creeping back into the case no matter how much Lysol and other mold and mildew products I use. I have to rig up a 150 watt bulb on a small wooden square so it will stay upright and lit for 8 hours....if I smile, look pathetic and go early before the crowds maybe the guy at Lowes will put it together for me...
I am going to try and finish my wave-runner quilt top this weekend. I want to start a new one with some patterned fabric in it but will not let me start anything new until I finish a project....

Beautiful holiday pics. Your waverunner is looking gorgeous, I love the colours you have chosen. xo
You've got me curious about the "lightbulb" idea...(pun intended) Hope you'll do a post that explains.
Glad you had a nice holiday...but you are right, you almost need a holiday from your holiday!
looks like beautiful sun and water and ahhhh. glad you're taking care of your pathetic little abused featherweight.
Seems like it was a wonderful vacation! Have fun getting back into the swing of things at home.
Wish I could get my DH on a cruise! Maybe someday...Looks gorgeous. Traveling is tiring, even if it is slow and pleasant--it stresses your body and mind as you constantly have to adapt from your usual routine. That's my theory anyway!
So lovely, just makes a person want to be there! I always am much more tired when I come back from vacation...I need a vacation from that!
I hope the lightbulb treatment works for your FW case. NOTHING worked to de-smellify mine. I finally put a bar of Lifeboy soap in it and that seems to work. Someone else told me to put a banana peel in it!
I know what you mean about that weird smell!!! Must be universal!
I thought you'd been quiet, but now realise I'm not getting your feed in bloglines!! So annoying!!! Sorry I've missed so much. Absolutely love your waverunner piecing!!
Well, I was missing you while you were away but with a great photo of you like this one, how can I be so selfish? Besides, I think I already told you I missed you so this is getting pretty out of hand (on my part).
