Non stop fun!
Aug. 19th, 2012 09:09 pmPoof! I'm tried! but I will say, reenacting is great fun! Last weekend was so much fun we played again this weekend :) We only went for the day this time though - the whole weekend is a bit too much for mummy these days, and we didn't have the dog booked into kennels etc, so it was just easier. Only trouble is, I think I need to make a check list for packing up! Last weekend I managed to forget both of my shifts and the ribbon to lace my pet en l'air with. It wasn't too bad though, because we were only (!) an hour away, so mummy being the wonderful human being that she is, we were able to go home and get them, along with the other things we didn't know we needed, like more blankets and an extra chair!
Today however, my forgetfulness was quite spectacular! I left my pet en l'air and my petticoat behind! I'd ironed them last night and they were hanging in my sewing room. Unfortunately the event was nearly 2 hours away, so no chance to go home for them. I did have on the rest of my undies, so it wasn't too bad, and I borrowed mummy's under petticoat, which, while it was pink striped cotton sateen, was still better than a white cotton petticoat that's supposed to be worn over hoops! She also had long sleeves on her shift, while mine are only teeny ones, so she wore my silk capelet (which I had with me because the neck band needed sewing on after I altered the fit, so I had to stitch it up quickly for her to wear, it was full of pins!), pinned to her stomacher to hide her nakedness, and I wore her short gown (overlapped instead of with a stomacher) with a borrowed apron to hide some of the pink cotton. We still had a lovely time though!!
Unfortunately, last weekend I forgot to charge my camera battery, so got no photos of the new pet en l'air. I was going to get photos today, and even remembered to charge my camera, but .... So the only photo I can share of the new outfit is this one I scrounged from facebook, with me in the background in the officer's tent:
Now, although this week I've been a terribly lazy so-and-so, I have managed to take some photos of my coscol loot! They are ( under this here cutty-thing )
To keep you going while I get my act in gear ( I will post a 'what I wore' eventually!) Here's me at the Gala, I had waaaay too much fun dancing, and got rather warm ;)
