Mickey Mouse

“Let’s go to Disneyland!”

These Blythe dolls are Bow Wow Trad and Daunting Drusilla, posing for the theme “Disney” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook. I made their mouse ears out of construction paper and ribbon. The umbrella behind them came from Tokyo Disneyland; we lived in Japan for three years and I got it then.

Family Resemblance

Whenever these sisters go out in public, people stare as if they’ve never seen blue hair before! That’s why they prefer to hang out at the duck pond. Animals don’t mind if you are different.

These Blythe dolls are Float Away Dream and Mandy Cotton Candy, posing for the theme “Sisters” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.

Enjoy Your Summer!

Eat ice cream cones and watermelon. Go swimming. Wear sandals. Read outdoors. Ride your bike everywhere. Catch fireflies (and then let them go.) Fly a kite. Look for shooting stars.

This Blythe doll is Ichigo Heaven. Her gorgeous swimsuit is from Dolliina on Etsy.

You’re Invited!

These girls throw a mean party; you will regret it if you don’t go. Just look at that cool floating island in their Olympic-sized pool! Hurry up, grab your swimsuit!

From left to right, these Blythe dolls are Mermaid Tasha, Ichigo Heaven, Simply Thumpty Thump, Mandy Cotton Candy, and Playful Raindrops. The float they are posing on is meant to hold drinks (for humans!) in a pool.

Positively Pink

If PINK is your favorite color, you are a kind and loving person who goes above and beyond to help others. (Colorsexplained.com)

I love to photograph Prima Dolly London and Ichigo Heaven together, since their hair is exactly the same color. They are posing on a jigsaw puzzle from Cobble Hill that I just finished. I’ve done several of these single-color themed puzzles; pink has been the hardest one so far.

Early Summer

 "Early summer days are a jubilee time for birds. In the fields, around the house, in the barn, in the woods, in the swamp - everywhere love and songs and nests and eggs." ~ E. B. White

Song of London Mary and Float Away Dream admire the eggs in the nest they found—for just a moment!—before the mother bird comes back.

Be Brave

What do you do when you are a newly-arrived foreign exchange student, but your host family isn’t there to meet you when you get off the bus? BE BRAVE. Delays happen. Trust that they will soon arrive and your new adventure will begin!

I’m excited to show off my newly-arrived Float Away Dream (and yes, I WAS there to meet her when she came off the truck!) for the theme “Be brave” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook. She is really wonderful. Her outfit is well made with lots of little details (the tiny bird on the collar of her jacket is especially sweet), and her abundant  hair is surprisingly perfect, right out of the box. I love her! She was worth the wait.

Happy birthday, America!

Showing their patriotism, these Blythe dolls are Tokyo Bright, Pretty Peony, and Cinema Princess. I’ve had the idea for the fireworks stand for quite a while, but I didn’t start working on it until yesterday! It’s made from paper and colored pencils, glue, and a Sharpie marker.

Be Thankful For a Sunflower

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson 

There really is so much to be grateful for…life, health, family, friends, pets, possessions, sunflowers…and  my Blythe doll hobby! This Blythe doll is Lady Camellia.
