Headed Back to Brazil

DH and I are going back to Brazil in a few days. This time we will be serving in Fortaleza which is right on the coast. It is also much closer to the equator than where we were previously. It is tropical there. They have a rainy season and a dry season but the temperature stays about the same year round. My Portuguese is very rusty but I have been working on it. My biggest challenge is figuring out if I can take my sewing machine and projects so I can quilt.

I made a bag to carry my sewing machine on board with me. I have packaged up five projects that I want to work on. I have come to realize that fabric is very dense and heavy. I have available two suitcases (up to 50 lbs. each) and a carry on plus one personal item. I am packing and weighing and then rethinking.

I am also taking a bunch of yarn to knit.  My main knitting project is a throw made out of hexagons. I figured that would be a long time project. It is called Persian Dreams.

Since it has been forever since I last posted I figured it was time to resurrect the blog and see if I can remember how it is done.
