Wassailing!

So, I have some photos from the wassailing yesterday :) It was great fun, but very VERY muddy! ( Photos of silly dress-up are under here! )

Giving the trees cake and cider or perry while singing (or trying to sing!!) wassailing songs and toasting the the trees to ask them to bear well next year :D

A grump after a busy day :(

Work was PANTS :( I had nothing to do all day, so just wandered aimlessly till lunch, then wandered some more till home time, read my book, finished my book! So had to print something off to read in the bus on the way home! I got some of the articles on dressmaking and re-enacting from the Elizabeth Stewart Clark website, so now I'm in 1860s mood and have found a whole bunch of lovely cotton prints I want to get!
When I got home I started supper, loaded the dishwasher and finished the washing up, had time to window (website?) shop for fabrics then Gemma came for supper and to watch the third episode of Glee!! When that finished it was nearly bed time, so no time to sew. This is very very bad.
I'm at work tomorrow, I'll TRY to sew when I get home, but not so sure how well that's going to plan out. I have Wednesday off, so hopefully I'll get lots done, but Thursday I'm at work again, till late because we're taking yr8 to see The Tempest, although I'm hoping I'll be able to just go in later in time to go to the theatre so I don't have to be in for sooooo long :( Then I might get some sewing done during the day.
The weekend will be taken up with going to my cousin's birthday party, and Friday I have to spend baking for it, so all together this week is probably going to be pretty pants as far as sewing chances go. Also, my boning isn't here. Still. *grump* I know I have plenty to get on with, but the way I'm feeling right now I don't want to work on anything :'(

Feeling very poopy :(

But I did just think of something to do tomorrow at work. I may as well take my bodice fronts in to make the eyelets while I'm at work. I can't work on Mummy's waistcoat because I need to make the button holes, and I'm not going to do them by hand! But maybe if I've done some work at school I'll be more likely to get on when I get home, so I might get the waistcoat finished. And if I get Mummy to take the fabric for the breeches home when she takes me in to school I might be able to make her breeches on Wednesday. Although, I won't be able to do that if I need to fit them, Mummy will be at work :( Maybe I should do the breeches mockup tomorrow after work, get Mummy to try them when she gets in, and work on them on Wednesday, and leave the waistcoat till later. Ugh. I am pissed off with sewing at the moment :( Just ignore me, having a grouchy moan. I think I'm just in a very grumpy mood at the moment, it just hit me like a tonne of bricks after Gemma left. Hopefully I'll wake up happier.
