Vacation Survival Kits

July 21st, 2010 @ 4:00 pm by Mrs. Sewing

Last time, I talked about what should belong in our out-of-town bags, and several of you responded that Advil or Tylenol might be a good idea.

I took your advice, and promptly had way too much fun in the travel-sized section of Target, REI and Walgreens.

Oops?


It’s okay though - we’ll put all this fancy stuff in cute little hibiscus bags.

And then we’ll staple it up with a little list of “ingredients”.

Don’t ask.

Anyway, if my terrible attempt at being clever left you confused, our “survival kits” include sunscreen, shout wipes, lens wipes, Tylenol, Tums, and a little packet for first aid.

The leftover glassine envelopes from our tissue packets hold three bandages and two little alcohol wipes. Though I hope no one has need of the little guys, I did throw in one surprise per trio of Band-Aids.

I think it’s quite obvious that we need to just get married already. I feel like each pet-project is getting more and more absurd. But at least this one was fun and stress free. If only you could have seen the look on Mr. Sew’s face when he saw Darth Jellyfish.

Is this our version of pre-wedding peace?

It very well may be.

Will you have emergency kits for your guests?

Seriously Sew, you could probably open an etsy shop and make a fortune off this stuff - the labels you make for things are to die for!

Tiny little things are always so cute. Great job! We’re having a day-of emergency kit - need to go shopping for a tackle box to organize it… the mr. is going to go nuts with it!

can you pleeeaasssse come to my house and put all of your pet project energy towards lots of little lovelies for my wedding? The sheer amount of wedding related projects you have completed thus far has left me exhausted, and I’ve only read about them :)

“I think it’s quite obvious that we need to just get married already. I feel like each pet-project is getting more and more absurd.”

that is the best line. for humor, it even beat out the darth vader jellyfish. you’re a genius, sewing.

I have been reading your posts and must say you are wonderfully creative! I wish I had 1/10 of your DIYness.

Miss Sew, hurry up and get married already! You are adding projects when you should be relaxing and daydreaming about Hawaii! When is the big day, anyway?

You might be right there, you must be running out of things to decorate at this stage? Take your time with the recaps after, though, you’ve been a singularly entertaining Bee!

These are great and the cartoon is too funny! You really should have your own comic strip/book/etc.
