Sunday Funday!

Yesterday, I decided to have a bit of dollyfun.
First I finished making a little nightie for Patience.

Then I decided it was finally time to glue back on her original wig, as the new basic Patience, who is a wigged doll, will be coming to live here soon.
Also Penn had been waiting for months to get eyelashes, so time to get out the glue...

I decided Patience would be my first victim, as the lashes need a bit more precision.

So she got a thin layer of tacky glue on her head, and I would have to wait a few minutes, before applying the wig.
Just enough time to cut the lashes to size:

Time to put that wig back on:

Next up was Penn:

Of course these 2 wanted some nice photo sessions.
In fact Patience (or Ginger as she's called her in my home) already had another photosession on saturday, as I found out my pics from Tonnercon weren't all that focussed, and I really wanted to have a picture of her in the outfit she was wearing for Halo's and Horns.Tokyo (or Aiko) of course had to model too.

As you can see, those girls just love to show off.

When Ginger started to model her Christmas/Valentines outfit, Prom aka Audrey, jumped at the chance to also be in the photoshoot:

Last but not least, Penn had a bit of a photoshoot as well:

I thought it was a great day, and then, when I finally got to checking my email, I found out I had won a prize at a photocompetition in a Yahoo group for Ellowyne!
I am so excited about it. It was the picture I intended to take for a competition back in November, but due to my travelling adventures, I didn't get to taking that picture in time.
This time however the theme of the picture was completely free, and I still had this idea, so I decided to give it a go.
I feel so honored Robert Tonner himself picked the winners of the anonymous photo entries!
Here's the winning piccie:

Alice having a Mad Hatter Tea Party

I think I will need to learn the futterwacken.... And yes, that's the little Pippa I customised last year into a Mad Hatter!

Pippa in Stratford upon Avon, All the world is a stage

In may 2011 it was time for another Pippa Convention, this time in Stratford upon Avon. Yes, that's right, it's the town where Shakespeare was born.

Of course I was planning to visit at least one of the famous houses there, but that was before I knew what was going to happen.....
My plane landed in Birmingham and I had to take a train and then walk from one railwaystation in Birmingham to another one. So far so good, and I arrived at Birmingham Moorstreet station withouth any problems at all.

I still had something like 45-50 mins to wait for my train, so I decided I could just as well read a bit more in my book.

I must admit here that I am a bit addicted to reading, and especially this series.....
So many trains passed the platform on which my train was due to arrive, that after a while I didn't realise anymore when a train was arriving or departing, I was no longer at a railwaystation but in the world of the wheel of time....... However, at a certain moment I had the feeling it should be around time for my train, so I looked up and checked..... Oh no!!!!!!!! It was 1 minute past time, could it have happened????? And yes, my train had left the station withouth me :-(    Another hour of waiting for me, this time I did set the alarm on my phone, so I could at least not forget to get on the next one...........
Well, finally I arrived safely at the Holiday Inn, but no time for Shakespeare sightseeing........

On Saturday morning I first had a small Daisy meet up with Jo, who lives in Cambridge. It was really lovely to meet her.

And I also got back one of my Daisy's which I had sent to Tracy Farrant for a reroot and repaint job.
Isn't she gorgeous?

The convo was just as brilliant as ever.

There were the themed displays:
Black & White theme

And Miss World:

And the competitions:

 The prize table was overwhelming as ever:

 Every time I had to get up there I was wondering how I could choose something out of so many lovely things.

Caroline was our brilliant Quizmaster:

And the winner is:
Louise!

Mandy had been working on a super duper surprise for Tracy:
One of the most amazing photobooks I've ever seen........
 

 And of course Tracy and her team had been working on another amazing convo doll:

For the prize table I had been rerooting a doll and Tracy made her all pretty, of course I had to take pictures:

 Babs is her lucky owner now........


The goodie bag was another amazing part of the day, here are the contents of mine:

 The outfit Britt is wearing was my win at the after dinnerswap, which I got from Babs.
I think there was even more in my goodie bag, but I must have forgotten to take pictures of it or otherwise I forgot to upload them from my camera to the pc, and I can't exactly find back everything, as I have been playing with my goodie bag stuff, putting thins on on dolls, etc.....



My prize table wins:

My super stunning Shirley doll, which I won off the prize table:
