Last night's ball
Nov. 1st, 2009 05:03 pmwas great fun!! I had my stitches out in the afternoon and felt SO much better after they were out. They were pulling the skin and muscles so tight it made it really uncomfortable, but once they were gone, even though it was a teeny bit sore, like after an injection, I felt SO much better!
I didn't wear my brown 17th century ish dress, decided it would be bad for my poorly tummy, so instead I wore a high waisted medievaly dress with my hair down and all curly to be Juliet, with the stab wound in her side from the dagger :D Mummy was a nun in a costume from school, with a bloody white surplice, and she brandished a kitchen knife for photos! She also got hold of a fake leg covered in blood from the decorations and waved it at people :) Having far too much fun hamming it up!
Our cousins came for the weekend to go to the ball, their first! Katharine, Mummy's cousin, wore Mummy's plaid ballgown and lot of black lace, and Julianne, her daughter, wore Clare's green ball gown and she'd made lots of ribbon and paper roses to put all over it, and she was a flower garden :) They love getting to dress up, so while it was a treat for us NOT to wear a corset and petticoats, for them it was the opposite :)
I'm just about to re heat some yummy baked beans I made on Saturday, haven't made any since Xmas 2 years ago! I forget how NICE they are :) The ones I made for Julianne (a vegetarian) even turned out nice without the bacon and smoked sausage :) I must make them more often, even if they do have a rather adverse affect on my mother!!!
