I've been sick ever since we got back from the Victorian festival. This in itself would explain my total lack of posts with pretty pictures, but when you add in Clare's Birthday party and it's preparations, I hope you might forgive me!
The party was great though, and Clare is totally worth it! I feel mostly myself now, (except for the sniffle I'm probably going to be stuck with for the next month or so!) so it's time to get organised for the JA festival. We go to Kent on Saturday, then straight on to Bath the next Saturday (missing the promenade unfortunately) so I have a week of hand sewing to get everything done :)
Mummy has a new day dress that just needs all the hand work doing, I have a new chemisette and spencer ditto, and I'm planning a new cap and maybe chemisette for Mummy as well. Apart from trimming one bonnet, that's probably going to be it for this trip, we're only there for a few days, and do both have quite extensive wardrobes as it is!!
In October some time, we have 2 balls that need sewing for! Our group is having a Cottilion or German ball, (basically Victorian party games to music with forfeits and favours and lots of silliness!) for which I want a new bustle ball gown. Then there is the Hampshire Regency ball, for which Mummy at least will have a new ball gown, and we both need breakfasting attire and new pelises for the next day's group breakfast and trip to a National Trust place.
In November our group is having a Regency ball, for which I shall have a new dress! Then Victorian Russian dress for both of us for the winter demos, and the next deadline isn't till February I think, the Bath Minuet Co Ball, for which I will have a new Francaise, and I may see if I can make one of my old ones fit Mummy, with new trimmings of course :)
Oh dear, writing it all down has made me very very tired!!! I haven't even started sewing any of it yet ....
