London Doll Making Club Mini-Meet

Was invited to come join the London Doll Making Club to come present our BJDs and for us to see what they were into doll-wise.

Turned out that they make their own dolls out of cloth and some are doing their own porcelain dolls.
Would be very interested in making my own porcelain doll…

There was a small selection brought along that the members did show and tell about – arrived in the middle of this unfortunately as they seemed to have quite interesting reasons for being made.

Won some silk in their raffle, found a nice trim on their sales table and digged out a nice piece of fabric in their boxes of stuff ^^

Had some interesting conversations with the members and was told a lot of useful stuff which I unfortunately did not write down and me being rubbish with names, have now forgotten all about. If any of you read this, please tell me again ^^

Actually, got a bit confused over the location as I did not realise the meeting place was in a Church – I kinda expected a townhall/big office building.

Oh, and had my bus from Camden break down on me half way there as well – luckily one of the other busses on the directions stopped at the same bus stop. However, managed to get of at the bus stop after the one I should have been of at resulting in me having to trek the what, 300m backwards ><

And my trip home was delayed by stupid Waterloo Bridge being blocked of by dunno what - so generally I wasted a lot of time on travel today lol - bit like a normal workday. Oh well. London traffic for you.

But despite all my travel woes, weather was fantastic today and was good to finish a good meet with MauMau and Mich at Mackie D's (I learned a knew word today lol)
