Meet Tillie

This is my new acquisition.  Her name is Tillie and she is a 29 cm Kaye Wiggs.  However, when she arrived, she informed me that her given name is Mathilda and she prefers this to Tillie.  She arrived last Friday from Australia.  I had ordered red hair for her, but she found this blonde/blue wig and laid claim to it.  I like the look.  I am in the process of developing some patterns for her.  She is unlike any of my other dolls, naturally, so this may take a few days. 

We returned late Sunday afternoon from the Tonner Convention in Lombard, IL.  It was so great to see everybody.  It's a shame we have to wait another whole year to get together again.  Our sales table was mobbed just about the entire weekend.  Bonnie sold everything she had for the Ellowyne Wilde size doll.  We came home with quite a few new dolls between the 2 of us.  So, we're back to the sewing machine, getting ready for the Oldenburg Convention in a couple of weeks.  Actually, I'm going to cheat and sew for Mathilda for a while.  Poor thing, she has nothing right now.
