Pony Corral / The adventures of Baby Quackers (pic heavy)
« on: October 28, 2012, 01:56:17 PM »
Last weekend the OH and myself went to north Wales for a few days. We we went for long walks in the countryside and spent a day in Llandudno, which is a seaside town with a pier and arcades etc. Baby Quackers came too! As did a small Rainbow Dash. Here are some choice photos of the holiday:

Baby Quackers on a swing with some mountains in the background:

These are all from Llandudno. I was afraid to put Baby Quackers on the pier incase she blew away  :shocked: as it was really quite windy. I also found a terrifying fakie & some stuffed ponies on sticks (which I don't really understand) whilst on the pier:

Gazing out to sea from atop a wooden mushroom (Llandudno has a lot of Alice in Wonderland stuff as it's where the real Alice Liddel went on holiday as a child)

Phew!

I also rescued a beanie baby unicorn from a charity shop basket of toys here, she was only £1 and I felt bad that she was left in a charity shop so I rescued her  :blush:

Off Topic / NaNoWriMo anyone?
« on: October 27, 2012, 03:40:13 PM »
Is anyone here taking part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year? I am just signing up for my first attempt at it, and was just wondering if anyone else is doing it. If so this could be some sort of support thread?! :biggrin:

Pony Corral / In time for Halloween... pony horror pictures!
« on: October 16, 2012, 12:33:21 PM »
After seeing a couple of other threads with ponies who are full of rust or covered in mold recently, I thought this might be a fun idea for a thread, especially on the run up to Halloween! So, terrify me with your rusty/mouldy/dirty ponies!  :lol:

Here are mine:

Rusty! Ew.

Wanted! / Wanted - Baits
« on: October 15, 2012, 06:19:01 AM »
Hello everypony

I am really enjoying rehairing at the moment, and I'd like some more baits. Preferably ponies who have no hair or very little hair but otherwise are in reasonable condition. I don't mind rubbed symbols as I can repaint them, but I'd prefer no chewed limbs or cancer.

Let me know what you have! Bear in mind I'm based in the UK :)

Edited to add: G1s please preferably, or G4s.

Off Topic / Pumpkins!
« on: October 14, 2012, 10:30:52 AM »
I bought a pumpkin yesterday so that I can make a Halloween lantern, something I haven't done in years. Anyway, obviously I'll end up with a lot of pumpkin insides when I hollow it out, so please share with me your awesome ideas/recipes for what can be done with them! :biggrin:

Wanted! / Those of you in sunnier countries...
« on: October 12, 2012, 01:39:27 AM »
Does anyone who lives somewhere nice and sunny in the Winter offer any kind of sunfading service? I have three ponies in my window and it has been raining solidly for about 2 weeks now. :( They are going to take a very long time at this rate! Anyway, give me a shout if you are somewhere sunny and you have a spare window. I will reward you with British sweets or ponies or good old fashioned monies.

Customs / UK Dollyhair request
« on: October 10, 2012, 01:53:04 PM »
Hi UK ponies, do any of you have any spare dollyhair that you might like to swap for a hank of MLP Fairy's Breath or MLP Virgin Snow? I'm looking for lots of colours really, reds, blues, greens, let me know what you have!

Thanks :)

Trader & Shipping Support / Customs heads up for those in the UK
« on: October 10, 2012, 09:26:34 AM »
This has been mentioned quite a bit recently, but I thought I'd mention what just happened to me. I had a card through the door asking me for an additional £13.68 for customs fees on an item. I popped into the depot today and said item was a package marked as other $10.  Now that's a bit cheeky from customs, because I shouldn't be charged unless the item is merchandise and £15 or over (not dollars) or a £40 or more gift.

I paid but asked the man in the PO and he said, oh yeah, they just put fees on them randomly. So I thought I'dmention it here. It's a bit of a bummer since this was a private swap and now I'm paying £13 for it, on the whim of customs. Sort of puts me off buying from abroad a little.

Pony Corral / Moondancer Restoration - Complete! (pic heavy)
« on: October 02, 2012, 12:54:28 AM »
A few months ago I received a Moondancer oddly covered in white paint. To clean her up I used nail polish remover and then had to repaint her symbols, as a lot had come off when I took the paint off. Here she is!

Customs / Restored/customised Secret Surprise pony (pic heavy)
« on: October 01, 2012, 10:50:00 AM »
When I received her she had no back and no hair apart from a tiny tuft all along her mane. I posted about the new mane recently, but now she has a new tail & a new saddle! She's all fixed up! So here are her before and after shots:

She does look a little insane now, and that isn't exactly the most symmetrical saddle ever, but I still think she looks a lot better!

Customs / My first rehair!
« on: September 25, 2012, 11:38:33 AM »
I just finished my first rehair! Only the mane at the moment (I have done a tail before though), but three colours! She's also not really styled, just as is when I put the hair in. This was the Secret Surprise pony I had, all bald and sad before:

And this is her modeling her brand new mane!

If I ever manage to get that troublesome bit of plastic out of her middle I'll do her tail to match. As you can see she was in a pretty sorry state before, but hopefully she'll start to perk up a bit now she's looking more glamorous :)

(Mods, please feel free to shuffle this to customs if you think it's more suitable there, I'm not sure since the Corral is where the alternate rehairs thread lives)

Pony Corral / Bunny Hop restore - update!
« on: September 22, 2012, 09:07:11 AM »
Ages ago (I think three months maybe) I got a lot of ponies from Etsy who were in need of a bit of help. One of them was Bunny Hop. Originally she looked like this:

She's not completely fixed up yet, but I repinked her hair, gave her a big clean and fixed her hair, and she's been sat in the window for the last 3 months. I didn't think she was improving, but since looking back at the before pictures I can see she has been! It's a slow process though.

I added this one of her feet too, although there's no original shot of her feet they were also covered in highlighter and some kind of random blue pen.

I still need to take her head off and get her tail out so I can sort out the rust and remove the washer, but getting ponies heads off is becoming the bane of my pony existence right now!

Off Topic / I got the job!
« on: September 21, 2012, 01:45:42 PM »
Thanks for the luck everyone, I got the job! WOOO! My first permanent job since I left university 8 years ago. (I've done a lot of temping). I brought Baby Quackers with me to the interview as well (in my handbag, I didn't just put her on the table. You can tell that because they gave me the job and didn't have me escorted off the premises.) so obviously that helped  ;)

I'm going to drink some wine now.  :biggrin:
