Samhain Feast
Unf. I am dead tired, but I figured I might as well report on how the late-night sewing went...
While messing about with the wool gown's sleeves, I discovered (o the cleverness of me!) that I cut out the sleeves so that the hem was on the selvage. That meant that I didn't have to hem the sleeves for today if I didn't have time. Which, no, I really didn't. (Those things have 2 yards of fabric in them!) Regardless of the sleeve hem elimination, I was still up til 3.30.It's okay, I watched Beatles movies. For a really long time.
And had to get up at 7.30 for setup for Feast at 8...then it transpired we didn't need to be there until 10, so I went back to sleep for an hour and a half. Setting up for Feast took literally all day, from 10 until I decided I needed to get dressed, around 5.10, because it started at 6. Good food, good times (when I'm slightly more coherent I may actually explain what Feast is), but then we had to clean up. Which I got back from around 11.45. Of course we had all this leftover crap that the members of OGL had to either take home or throw out, so I'm now the proud owner of three bags of almonds and a leetle tiny jack-o-lantern. He's sitting on my windowsill, and I think I shall have to name him. George, I think. Heh.
I, having no working camera, obviously did not get any pictures of myself, but I think other people did, and I'll try to steal them later if I can. If not, you'll have to wait til I take the whole getup home over winter break and I can get nice piccies then. (Except we all know I am something less than a phenomenal photographer, so they may not be so nice...)
Okay, done posting while practically not-sober from sleepiness!
