Ah the panic before the event, how I have missed it..
well, actually i haven't since I did so much frantic panicking before the last event even though I wasn't going! But there is much more satisfaction involved in panicking for an event which you are actually attending. Jamie had today booked off work to get stuff done, although to be honest I don't think he's achieved all that much. I was in work, but after completely failing to finish making Jamie's new doublet last night, I blew half a days holiday (isn't it nice to have spare days!) and came home at lunchtime. I have so far:
almost completed the doublet (just need to hand-sew on the frogging down the front)
sewn two covers for my old sofa cushions so Hodgy can use them for chairs in his lab
sewn two panels of red lace onto my old black bodice so I can wear it without looking like a peasant
repacked several crates of tent decorations
lost - and subsequently found - the sky remote
all I have left to do now is sew the frogging onto the doublet, repack my own personal kit, and do one last sweep of the house to make sure I've packed everything! Oh yeah, and make shortbread. lots of shortbread. I kinda forgot about that. Not sure how well its going to go, kneading shortbread dough with false nails on, but we shall see...
