I'm in that dilemma right now - with company coming and I have to give up my sewing/computer room - so I dug out 3 projects I can work on by hand, while my room is occupied as a bedroom once again... and I hope it works; but then, who says I'll have time to work on anything while they are here; but, I'm prepared! One is an applique project, one is making hexagons, and the other is an embroidery project; so lots to do - but with these all being men/boys - they'll be out and about occasionally leaving me to gain my sanity for a while so plan to relax with a project.

I am working on needlepoint Christmas stockings for my daughters and their husbands. I have no deadline, so whenever we go anywhere that I will be riding or sitting around, I just pick up the tote and all I need is inside. It is very relaxing and I'm sure some day they will get finished.

I also work on Hexie, especially for travel, by any mode. they travel well.
I have them in three different sizes.
It is summer; I need to sit by the pool with my 4 yr. I am putting hexies together for a table runner.
Another thing I go is hand embroider.

I'm making them out of taffeta and chiffon and all sorts of fabrics. The taffeta ones are turning out beautifully!" I'm stacking two size together with a really dressy button in the middle and they will become either brooches, pins or decorations for purses. I'm loving it! The oval ones are really cool too! I made an oval one out of cotton and used it to decorate a basket block and used a dragonfly button in the center of it. Too cute!
You can use smaller ones to decorate headbands or hair clips.

Tops-Turvy is generally the name of the game around here, and I usually grab something to applique on. Keeps the hands and mind busy. I wish you a smooth move, as we all know that can be a really stressful thing.
