There was quite a bit of time sitting in airports and on planes so I put together some project bags. I cut out 4 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purlbee.com\/hand-sewn-felt-dolls\/\">Purl girl<\/a>s. I put the parts for each girl in a separate zip bag. I added the matching floss colors to each bag. In one of the bags I added needles and small scissors. I filled a gallon bag with wool stuffing and some small forceps. I brought tools that I wouldn&#8217;t mind losing, in case airport security made a fuss. They didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1984\" title=\"baggies\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/baggies.jpg\" alt=\"baggies\" width=\"449\" height=\"517\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It worked out really well. By the time I returned, I had done all I could. That was not because I was finished, but because I had underestimated how much stuffing I&#8217;d need! I also underestimated how much floss I needed but I was able to add some from Tina&#8217;s stash. All in all, it was an excellent travel project.<\/p>\n<p>We drove to Charleston, SC for a day. I felt very much away from New England- pink houses and palm trees- ah!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1986\" title=\"palms\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/palms.jpg\" alt=\"palms\" width=\"450\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We ate some fantastic southern cuisine- like these fried green tomatoes&#8230; oops! We&#8217;d gobbled them up before I thought to take the photo- so delicious!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1987\" title=\"plate\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/plate.jpg\" alt=\"plate\" width=\"449\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We drove to the ocean and walked in the water.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1988\" title=\"beach\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/beach.jpg\" alt=\"beach\" width=\"450\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then, an amazing rainbow on the way back to Columbia.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1989\" title=\"rainbow\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/rainbow.jpg\" alt=\"rainbow\" width=\"450\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am back home now, trying to get my thoughts back to my work.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1990\" title=\"window\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/window.jpg\" alt=\"window\" width=\"450\" height=\"656\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am having a really hard time adjusting to the new space. For every hour I work, I seem to spend 2 hours rearranging. I am sure it will settle down soon&#8230; I hope?<\/p>\n<p>Let me see- other news. Two weeks in, the son seems to be very happy at Art School. He is home for the weekend. And he now has a tattoo. Um, is this surprising? I guess not. Actually the artwork is very nice.<\/p>\n<p>My brother and sister-in-law have an etsy shop. How fantastic is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=30965366\">this<\/a> card!\u00c2\u00a0 So many of my friends and relatives are getting Etsy shops that I need to get my act together and make a page with all their links. Geesh, that list of things I ought to do is so long&#8230; yeah, when I have time. OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m trying to get back on track here.
