Tasty Nibble #16 - Idle Hands Feather fan - WIP

There's still another layer of feathers to come!

As usual, I'm also posting construction details on the "What Holds Breasts Up?" page.

Better Late than Never

I have finally got some Pennsic pictures to post.

This is of me, all dressed up and ready for the Red and White Ball.

And this is my Boen.

Now I'm remembering what's so hard about moving...

Getting settled in enough to find all my stuff and get back to work!

I finally started unpacking my SCA boxes today. Found the red silk I may use for my IRCC overdress and a lot of clothes in need of a post-pennsic washing. Sigh. We're renting an apartment for our first year in Indiana and the new place doesn't have a washer/dryer in the unit. Bigger sigh. I've unpacked 4 *huge* tubs of SCA stuff but have yet to find my red brocade which I will probably use for the IRCC overdress. I don't want the silk to win out by default so I'll perserve with the unpacking but I looked at the Realm of Venus today and discovered Bella is sponsering a Mini Challenge (only a month long) focusing on items held in the hand. Hmmmm....

I'd been planning on making a second fan any way so this may be just the thing to get me back to work...

Since I'm going to think of this fan as another piece of the IRCC outfit I'll probably use the 'What Hold's Breasts Up?' page to chronicle my progress...fingers crossed this gets me jumpstarted!

We have internet!

At last.

I'll be back to work on both my pavillion and IRCC out fit soon. (Like later this week, I hope.)

I can hardly wait to get restarted but first I have to -- de de de Daaahhhhhh -- catch up with my e-mail. Eeep!

Moving day is here

...I can hardly believe it!

We are all packed into the truck and just touching up the staging for the house before we hit the road. Indiana, here we come!

I'll be getting back to working on my IRCC dress after we settle in. Same bat time, same bat channel...

Home again, home again, jiggety jig!

I'm exhausted, but HOME!

Pennsic was lovely. Pennsic was overwhelming. Pennsic was HOT!

Sleeping now, but later I will gush at you about how lovely my IRCC undergown looked at the red and white ball...

:)

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!
