Road Trip!

Polly is the most demanding of all of my diva girls! Why in the world did I ever tell her that she could be the one to come with us on our trip to New England? Don't tell her, but I had been thinking about taking her to Blythecon Chicago, but now I am not so sure.

She insisted that she would need a camera for her trip. Where was I going to find a Polly sized camera??? I decided to make one for her. I found a shiny, black, glass, somewhat rectangular shaped bead to use as the body of the camera. To the front, I glued a white glass bead that had a large hole, in proportion to its size. Next to it, I added a small square of tin foil. One the top, is a tiny, black, glass bead. Finally, I strung it on a gold elastic cord to form a camera strap. Problem solved!
 
Another item she insisted on bringing is her bike. I said yes, but we are going to have to design a bike rack for the back of the trailer, it is simply going to take up too much room inside.
 
 
The one thing she was good about, was that she did her own shopping for the trip. She realized I was never going to have time to make her an entire travel wardrobe, so she took matters into her own hands. The travel outfit she is wearing, as well as most of her clothes for the trip came from: Ellie Moe & Little Hoos



The big day finally arrived and we went off on our first trip with our new travel trailer.
 
 
Polly had packed more than her share, but what was I to do? I managed to find her a place to put everything and we were on our way.
 


Unfortunately, when you convert a Blythe doll to this body style, they lose the ability to sit. Polly road along standing in the cup holder. She was more than happy to give driving suggestions from this vantage point.


When we ran into bumper to bumper traffic, she got very board and decided a nap was in order.



 
She did enjoy the lovely, wooded area when we made a pit stop in Ohio.

We were all glad to stop in Pennsylvania for a couple of nights to break up the long drive.

Polly is wearing her new cami and bloomers pajamas, that will be available at: TheBlackOnyxBoutique when we return from our trip.

Doesn't she look cozy all covered up with her beautiful new blanket made by my friend Josetta? I think that I will call it a night too. My demanding diva will be back at it tomorrow and I need to rest to keep up with her.

The blanket looks great! I really need to finish up the one for ME! Yikes! I need to find some knitting time. Glad to see Polly's enjoying her trip.
