mandie_rwI said I was going to start work on things for Gettysburg after Tall Ships, but I've mainly been reading - just a re-read of a series, but it's one I haven't looked at for a few years, so that was a nice little break.
Today I remembered that I have an Independence Day event at the Indian King Tavern on Saturday, and that I wanted my white linen mitts for it (even though the forecast doesn't call for much sun. Want them anyway! Also wanted to get them out of the pile they were in...). So I did finish those. Amusingly managed to sew the thumbs on different ways - they're put together by folding edges under and topstitching, so on the left mitt, the thumb piece goes on top of the mitt piece, and on the right the mitt went on top of the thumb. Whoops. Certainly not fussed enough to redo one, because I doubt anybody would notice anyway. It's just funny.
Might also put a new ribbon on my cap if I feel so inclined. I've had the wine-colored one on for over a year, I think it's time.
