Projects are almost complete (and TV)

I realized that my gamurra sleeves are just a skosh too short to pin to the dresses. A quick eyelet at the top of each sleeve and a lacing ring on each shoulder strap of every dress fixed that little problem.

I tried making a full cuffia (coif) last night but having too few brain cycles left provided me with a less than satisfactory result. I have jettisoned making any of these until next month at the earliest.

I have also jettisoned finishing the pink gamurra from the project list. Maaaaaybe I'll take it to Pennsic and do the handwork in camp. Maybe.

I have figured out which hat I will wear to the Mad Hatter Tea Party. Muahahaha!

I'm two days in to "Torchwood: Children of Earth". I didn't read under anyone's lj-cuts about the mini-series, but I couldn't help but notice all the emotional posts in plain view at the end of the series. ( Speculation which contains a spoiler for Day 2. )

In other TV news, I've got the DVR set for "Being Human" (vampires AND werewolves? It makes both Hubbyfink and me happy [we're both ehh about the ghost]) and "Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead". We should be home from Land Grab in time to watch DW, but I'm taking no chances. I can catch up on "True Blood" via OnDemand so I don't have to give up precious DVR space for that show.

Oh hey, "Coraline" and "Robot Chicken: Star Wars Special Episode Two" are out on DVD. I might have to snag those and "Children of Earth" when the latter is released next week.

Where? When? What? Who? Pennsic edition

Where are you camping, and where else will you be findable?

Ravenstreet in E05. If our camp is laid out like previous years, we'll stretch across the block from Brewer's Road to Chandler's Road. We're directly behind Cognizenti on the Brewer's side and Marinus on the Chandler's side.

If I'm not spacing out under the shade of the dining pavilion, I'll be out shopping or attending classes or sipping on delicious bevvies at Your Inner Vagabond.

When are you arriving?

I'll be up for Land Grab weekend and return Tuesday, July 28. I'm heading over to Hilliard, OH on Wednesday to meet my coworkers for the first time, but when I get back from that trip, I'm onsite for the duration.

What fun things are you planning to do?

RELAXING. Shopping. Catching up with my friends. Spending loads of time at YIV. Shopping with friends. Hunting for Squiddy with pirategirleee. Putting my husband and wombatgirl's husband in close proximity and watching them Furbee at each other (hopefully). A&S Display. Atlantian Social. 15th Century Revel. Shopping. Mad Tea Party!

What is your name?

Pippa Morosini (and I have the business cards to prove it). I'm sure lots of people will call me "Mel" and a few may even call me "Millicent". Whatever. Just don't call me late for last call at YIV.
