The Show must go on... Philadelphia Miniaturia


Well, hurricane Sandy thwarted our plans...but she didn't stop us! We had two flights cancelled and had to fly out two days later than planned. We were so happy to bump into Penny Thomson  http://www.penny-thomson.co.uk/index.php at the airport and she joined us in the ride to the hotel - which was brave of her as we had hired a car and yes we got lost more than once! But we did stop for coffee along the way so it was not all bad...
The fact we arrived late meant we were not in time for our workshop which was sold out and some students couldn't make it either, but with huge thanks to Kim and the determination that is the backbone of all hardcore miniaturists, we did manage to run the workshops in two shifts!






It was so lovely to spend quality time with our students and we really appreciate the effort made by those who could make it!


As ever NAME put on a great night before the show and the best part was us getting to 'play' too! Aidy and I had so much fun making things - we made mini pastries, a little house, an autumn wreath and a record holder! We had so much fun and we can't thank this friendly bunch enough for their kindness, willingness to help and general enthusiasm! It was one of the many high-lights of the show...
