Snowy Progress

This weekend Lorene and I packed up the wagons, headed up the hills, and spent the day in snowy bliss in a historic cabin working on our Costume Con dresses.  It's good to be hardworking volunteers and have perks!!!

Welcome to the Pearce/ Helps Cabin, originally built in 1878, near Golden, Co.  

 

Once we arrived safely, we unloaded and started the fires to warm up the cabin.  Lorene is the master fire-starter; Bertha can be persnickety at times so I let Lorene have at it while I cleaned up around the cabin and made us a little more at home.

 

Once settled in, Lorene ironed, ironed, and ironed. 

 

 

I found a sunny spot between the window and Bertha, so I was happy sewing my stupid sleeves on. 

 

I might have to pull a section of the piping out and re-cover it to get it to lay flat for the sleeve. 

Alas, such is life.

We're making progress at last!

Sewing on our tuffets,
Mercedes and Lorene
