Takealong Stitching

This has been my takealong project when we've gone on various car trips over the past couple months. It's a freebie called Sew Red (from the very generous Carol R.)  Since I started this in December, Sew Red has come along with me to New York City, Falls Church VA, Philadelphia, and Sanibel Island, FL.

The only thing that makes me a little nervous is that the thread is one of those overdyeds from Needle Necessities and it's so very not colorfast.  So why did I take it to the beach?  Because I'm a fool.  And I like to live dangerously. 

By the way, those little scissors?  Totally ok for air travel.  Light as a feather, small, and pretty sharp (If all you need to cut is thread.  Don't even think of using them for hardanger)  They come in three adorable colors and for only $5.95.  Much better than the cuticle scissors I was using for travel.  I think I got those two years ago at The Silver Needle.

I hope to spend some quality time with Lo this weekend....which I'm beginning to think stands for LOnely.
