Just Working on Her Tan

 It may not be the most comfortable beach for sunbathing, but it is certainly one of the most beautiful.

Miss Sally Rice is relaxing on a jigsaw puzzle I recently completed. I love the bright colors in this one. 

Whose Birthday Is It?

 Every day is SOMEONE's birthday; so, Happy Birthday To You, whoever you are!

Simply Bubble Boom is standing on the cake shop puzzle I recently completed. There was a piece missing in lower right corner; I was sure it had been taken by Mochi, one of my Siamese cats, but I looked and looked and couldn't find it, so I took this picture and put the puzzle away. A few days later I noticed Mochi chewing on something--it was the missing piece! She had hidden it in her kitty house. Bad kitty!

Dig In

 "I think I'm going to need a bigger spoon!"

This is Playful Raindrops posing on a fun ice cream themed jigsaw puzzle I just completed. We just happened to have the perfect "sprinkles" dress in our wardrobe.

Coming Home

 "It's a funny thing, coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what's changed is you."  --F. Scott Fitzgerald

This Blythe doll is Sweet Bubbly Bear posing on a jigsaw puzzle called Bubble Street. It was a difficult puzzle but one of my favorites because the artwork is so amazing. 

So Many Books, So Little Time

 "A writer only begins a book. A reader finishes it."  --Samuel Johnson

Isn't this book shop the greatest? Stella Serendipitous may have trouble carrying all her purchases home. This picture combines some of my favorite things: Blythe dolls, books, jigsaw puzzles and cats (there's one right behind her.) The outfit is by Woollyrockers. 

Fish Tale

 In her new YouTube video, Saylor shows you how she caught this fish using just a tree branch, some dental floss, and a safety pin.

This Blythe doll is Sea Sailor Sea, posing on the jigsaw puzzle I just completed. I've really gotten into puzzles lately! This one was harder than I expected it to be--there were so many similar fishing lures, and a lot of similar colors. Her fish is a toy I borrowed from my cats. 

Be My Guest

"Welcome to my home. You're just in time for tea."

This is Mermaid Tasha posing on a jigsaw puzzle I just finished. Too bad this isn't how our home really looks! I've always enjoyed puzzles and I've done several of them recently.

Summer's Favorite Treat

You're invited to Sarah's ice cream party. Please RSVP, ASAP!

This Blythe doll is Sarah Shades. The background is a poster that was included with a jigsaw puzzle I just finished (surprisingly, it's a puzzle-sized picture of the finished puzzle! Usually, only a small picture is included.) The ice creams are from lots of different places--Mini Brands, Our Generation Girls, Shopkins, and eraser packs from Japan.

Here's the finished jigsaw puzzle, "Chickens in the Kitchen." I ordered it from an ad that I saw on Facebook. I think it came to me from China (it took several months to arrive) and it was frustrating to work on because the pieces are thin and they don't hold together very well, so my cats were frequently messing up areas that were already finished. I love the picture though, and the strong colors of the puzzle were fun to work with. Sorry my photo below has so much glare. There are skylights above the table.
