OK! Hi from Pennsic!

I'm here. It's hot. Oh so hot!

I finally made it out of camp (in a sudden burst of ambition) so I though I'd take a moment to tell you:

IMPORTANT THINGS I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR

1) Pre-Pennsic sewing should include making several outfits which keep you covered up but feel like you are nearly naked.

2) Then you can think about what *else* you could take off.

3) Yes, it is worth it to bring a shade pavilion/fly!

4) It turns out the earplugs aren't so much about sleeping through the drunken carousing, it's the trucks on the highway causing the real noise.

I'm off to take about 15 million classes. Having fun. Wish you were here!

Behold, a close-up of my new girdle!

As usual, you can find more info on the "What holds breasts up?" page!

So, about that Pavillion...

It's past time that I admitted to you that I will not be able to complete it in time for Pennsic XL.

It's not just that the deadline is only a week away, or that I've had to prioritize our move to Indiana. The biggest problem is that while I was packing up the house for our move I discovered that I actually had completed a third section of roof panels...way back in the dark ages in California.

So now what do I do?

Since I actually have all 12 pieces I could revert to the original plan and make a round pavilion...or...
I could split the third section in half, connect each half to one of the sections of 4 pieces I was planning to use for my bells, and thus have a larger bell/larger tent overall...or...
I could come up with some really brilliant third option.

Sigh...

So right now I am stuck, and crazy busy. I'll get back to the pavilion after our move..

Now if I can just get this sucker to stay on!

The lace is going on the camicia!

Sudden IRCC death. I don't get it.

I've been watching our numbers dwindle, bit by bit and I'm feeling really whiney about it.

I want to know what everyone is doing! I want to see what people are working on! Even if it's not going well, undone, and/or not for the IRCC! I want everybody back!

There, I've said it.

I thought *everyone's* projects were really interesting. I liked how your work gave me ideas and inspiration. I *miss* you guys!

What am I supposed to read while I stitch away at my skirt if you are not here?!

(still pouting...)
