Spring Blooms

Spring Blooms


Brock amidst the daffodils.

I'm glad I read through the whole "Blythe a Day" list at the beginning of the month, because that was when my daffodils were blooming, and there are no other flowers in my yard...so I took this photo weeks ago in anticipation of today's theme.

Brock is my Chantilly Lace custom doll.

Pretty Patterns

Pretty Pattern


Candy is an experienced seamstress, and she has a large collection of beautiful fabrics.  She says that choosing which pretty pattern to use is the hardest part of sewing!

Candy is my My Little Candy Blythe doll. (Yes, sometimes they keep the name they came with!)

Very Low Angle...

Oh dear...at least they have on decent panties.

Daphne and Waverly are my Candy Carnival Blythe dolls.

Our Favorite Hat(s)

Blythe a Day April 27, 2015
Favorite Hat

There is NO WAY these girls could decide on just one hat that is everyone's favorite. So they took a vote, and these 7 hats were the winners. When the Sonny Angels noticed what was going on, they insisted on being in the picture too, because, of course, they wear their favorite hats all the time.

That's One Big Flower

Flowers


Citrine was amazed that her first attempt at gardening produced such a huge, beautiful flower.

Citrine is my Ice Rune Blythe doll.

Celebrity Crush

Celebrity Crush


Paisley is a practical and sensible girl...except when she sees a magazine article about her favorite celebrity, Robert Downy Jr.! Then she goes all mushy and dreamy-eyed.

Paisley is my Mandy Cotton Candy Blythe doll.

Best Friends

Best Friends


Citrine and Heidi laugh when people ask them if they are twins. "We're not twins...we're not even sisters!" they say. "But we are best friends."

Beautiful

Something Beautiful

Here's something beautiful: my "grail" girls sitting on a handmade quilt!

That's Veronica Lace in the center; I love her long brown hair with purple threaded through it. She was the first doll I longed for but resisted buying because of her price. When I found her in gently used condition at a much better price, I snatched her up!

The other two are Miss Sally Rice. I loved her so much I bought her twice!

Oh--and I made the quilt!

Peace

Blythe a Day April 22, 2015
Peace


As I tried to think of a way to portray the word "peace" using Blythe, I decided to go with a very literal interpretation.

And, as I got ready to go outside, I asked myself "How am I going to carry 10 dolls at once?" This Longaberger basket is just perfect!

Trees

Heidi has a special fondness for trees...and it shows!

Heidi is my Cousin Olivia Blythe doll.

As Brock was falling asleep in the woods, she had the dreamy impression that the woodland creatures were watching over her.

Something Beginning with A


Juliette knows that to be a great artist, she has to master the basics. Today's simple still life will help prepare her to create a future masterpiece.

Juliette is my Sadie Sprinkles Blythe doll.

Still Life with Doll #1 (and #2)

Blythe a Day April 15 2015
Black and White


I love how this photo came out! Usually I try to make the dolls look like they are alive and involved in some activity; this time, the doll is clearly seen as a doll--what a concept! I hope to do many more still lifes, so I'm calling this one #1.

And, here's how the photo looked before PicMonkey helped me change it to black and white. I think I prefer this one...but the theme for the day was "black and white", so the first one is the "official" photo for today. So okay, I'm calling this one Still Life With Doll #2.

This is Eve (not Ellie!--I haven't made her a white dress yet, but I wanted white for this photo--and I wanted to use her, because of her black hair), my Milky Way Sugar Blythe doll.

Cupcake

Blythe a Day April 14, 2015
Guilty Pleasure

Penelope knows that a giant cupcake like this will be terrible for her diet, but now that it's in her hands, there's no turning back.

Penelope is my Snowflake Sonata Blythe doll.

Priceless

Five O'Clock Reading Break

It's Five O'Clock Somewhere


Juliette looks forward to five o'clock every day--that's when she takes a break from whatever she is doing, to relax for a while with a good book.

Juliette is my Sadie Sprinkles Blythe doll. She's wearing Candy Carnival's dress, though! I love that dress.

Say Cheese!!

Look Deep Into Nature

Nature

Calliope is trying to understand everything better. She's a very smart girl.

Calliope is my Can Can Cat Blythe doll. The little goldfish in a bowl came to me in a swap package.

Close-Up

Close-Up


Today's theme, "Close-Up", gave me a chance to play with some of the effects on Pic Monkey. It's a great photo-editing site, which I use for all my pictures.

Brock is my custom Blythe doll by Chantilly Lace.

We ALL Adore Playing with Blythe

Blythe a Day April 7 Something You and Your Blythe Adore

Now THAT'S an Easter Egg!

Blythe a Day April 5, 2015 Egg


Heather and Candy teamed up to find the BIGGEST egg at the Blytheville Easter Egg Hunt! Now comes the hard part: carrying it home!

These Blythe dolls are Prima Dolly Violet (Heather) and My Little Candy (Candy). I received this huge, beautiful egg from my husband on Easter a few years ago; it was full of Godiva chocolates!

Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend

Blythe a Day April 4 2015 Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend


When they decided to compare pull-rings at the party, all the girls suddenly felt inferior to Sally: her pull-ring was topped with an incredibly brilliant diamond!

It DID Go Out Like a Lamb!

Blythe a Day, April 2, 2015 Baby Animals

Citrine was sitting outside enjoying the spring weather when, much to her surprise, two little lambs came running to greet her! She wondered what they were doing there, but suddenly it dawned on her--March had just ended, and everyone knows that "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb."

Citrine is the Ice Rune Blythe doll I got at Christmas. This is the first time she's been out of her stock winter outfit--she is so happy about that!

Spring is In The Air

Blythe a Day April 1, 2015 Spring is in the Air

"Happy Spring!" from Ellie to everyone.

Ellie is my Ichigo Heaven Blythe doll. She's wearing a Trio dress...it has a matching headband but I couldn't find it when I was taking this picture, so she's wearing one I made!
