The hubby signed us up to go to Oshkosh WI to the EAA Airventure and camp on site at Camp Scholler. He loves airplanes and flying, me not so much. I do love watching some of the air shows but I am not into walking through all the planes, exhibits and vendors. He loves it all . So I stayed in the camper sewing happily away while he was enjoying himself. Then later in the day we would go to the air show or the evening one. Those big planes are pretty impressive and the maneuvers they can do, wow! At night the planes are all lit up and even have fireworks shooting from the planes. And there was also ground fireworks after the show.
A working vacation is pretty much what I had this past week from Wednesday until Sunday anyway.
This was my work station in the camper. I have a pretty decent set up with things at my finger tips that I need.
I use my smaller Janome in the camper. Walmart had this little fold up portable table that doubles as my ironing surface or just project holding table;) I have a portable rolled up ironing mat and a little steam fast iron. I love that little iron! It was a trooper even for pressing long strip sets!
I have lots of good storage for projects in the drawer under the couch and the sewing machine fits in the cabinet under the TV. A couple of my rulers even fit in the seat cushion compartment. Yes the chair seat cushion lifts up and there is secret compartment!
First I sewed 2 sets of strip sets to make pieced borders, then I assembled 4 of these leaf table runners, not bad for 3 mornings of work! I did have all the leaf blocks pieced before leaving home.
DH got up early each morning to go watch the Ultra light planes and powered parachutes and gliders fly. I slept in a little then got up and sewed:)
The fun thing was that a lot of the airplanes flew directly over the camper or over the campground so I could watch a lot of them while sewing! The little specks in the sky are powered gliders and I think one powered parachute. This was looking out my camper door at 8am.
OMG the campground was crazy!!!! I think everyone in the USA that owned a camper was there, LOL The grounds opened the Sunday before we got there, and we arrived on Wednesday afternoon. When you check in they tell you to find a spot and park your camper-WHAT? There are no designated spots, just squeeze in where your unit fits! It was slim pickings for spots we could fit in. The next day there were several campers that left and we could have had a better spot. But we didn't want to go to the work of tearing down and setting back up. We filled our water tank and it lasted the 4 days, we had bought a pair of generators before we went and they powered the AC, my sewing machine, iron, and microwave. It worked out really good. The only thing I missed was not having good WiFi. We had to hop a bus to a hot spot within the campground or on the grounds of the Air show. So I didn't get to check in or respond to many of your comments on the past 2 posts until I got home.
So this week I am going to try to quilt up a storm! Hope you all do too:)
