Fort Fred, quick edition
May. 1st, 2023 11:39 amWe didn't float away, surprisingly!
Lucked out on Saturday with weather in the 60s and no rain, but it rained every other day and that field is a damn mud pit after that much rain! We bailed on Sunday and drove home after breakfast. I will be very surprised if nobody parked in a field rather than the small paved lots had to be hauled out at the end. And camping through that seems like a terrible time, more power to the people who want to do that.
Still, Saturday was very nice, we saw people and did shopping (home base was in Amber and Cait's tent, and we were occasionally marginally helpful rather than in the way). I didn't buy a ton, but I did buy some Dames a la Mode earrings (unnecessary) and a 5-yard-length cut of one of Amber's cotton print fabric (even more unnecessary).
Unpacked almost nothing yesterday, except my soggy-ass leather 18thc shoes that I wore on Friday. Lili helped me unpack the molasses cookie that I bought at lunch on Saturday, put in my basket, and forgot about until this morning ("what are you sniffing?").
I brought it to school and ate it with my cup of tea this morning, it wasn't as stale as you'd have thought.
As you may have noticed from Instagram, I didn't finish the pink dress... when it wasn't almost done by Wednesday night, I tossed that idea and wore the plaid wool closed gown instead. It's nice enough! Pink wool isn't TOO far from done, but is far enough that a late night panic sew wouldn't have done any good anyway!
Robin and I are planning on going to a New Castle event in late May, I'll see if I can finish it for that!
