Siege Day at Fort Mifflin

Fun little 18thc outing today with blackcat452, hiraimi, grace_lee_19c, miss_philomena, and dragoneyes19! We went to Fort Mifflin's 18th century Siege Day and got a tour, saw a little battle reenactment, and investigated all the underground bits of the fort thoroughly. We always manage to hunt down the reenactors with a fire on cold days! "Hi, you have a fire? Let's be friends!"

Robin took over my camera for most of the day so you actually get some pictures, heh. Full album's here

I did finish my jacket, and it's comfy and rather cute, if I do say so myself. The sleeves are a little looser than I usually make them (interestingly, because I used the same pattern as the cranberry anglaise, but ok), but that does mean a nice range of motion! And the front of the jacket does wrinkle, because of the way I cut the stripes, and neglected to pin it down to the petticoat, but eh. It's okay.

We didn't get a group photo, because oops. But here's us-minus-Robin.

Next weekend's the Pumpkin Tea, for which I'm probably going to wear the pompom regency. Definitely a rewear, anyway. After that, the next thing I'll want a new outfit for is the colonial ball in Trenton in December (if they ever post DETAILS about it), and I think we want to do another winter outing and get our carriage ride! And ice-skating in Dilworth Park at City Hall perhaps. That'll probably be in the first weeks of January, and I have Plans which I will be posting about in short order! :D
