Music

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” -Berthold Auerbach

These two Blythe dolls are Mod Molly (left) and Patty Patch (right). This picture is for the theme “Music” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook. I chose these two girls for this picture because someone in another group asked to see them side by side…I never thought to put them together before!

Sleep

You have to be careful if you fall asleep in the woods. You never know what kind of creatures will be watching you when you wake up.

This Blythe doll is Leading Lady Lucy. She has sleep eyes, so she was perfect for this “Sleep” themed picture in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. The creatures are Sonny Angel dolls. The background is a poster.

How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

Pet Rock

She’s hoping to get a kitten for her birthday, so Marsha practices caring for a critter with a pet rock.

This Middie is Yellow Marshmallow, posing for the theme “Rock” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I didn’t attend the recent BlytheCon Cincinnati, but I saw pictures of it, including pictures of cute little pet rocks made by Julie of ByYourSideDolls. That’s where I got this idea.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright did more than design houses. I learned that he was also an abstract artist, although his work was considered ahead of it’s time. Behind Lady Panacea, you can see part of one of his works called “Saguaro Forms & Cactus Flowers.” This photo is for the theme “Dolly Close-Up With Special Element Background” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.









Dining

 Which is better: dining in or dining out? These two compromised by eating in on take-out sushi.

These Blythe dolls are Mandy Cotton Candy and Enchanted Petal, posing for the theme “Dining” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Swimming Lessons

Did you know that baby mermaids have to learn to swim? Only the best adult swimmers under the sea can earn the title of Certified Swimming Instructor, so it’s quite a prestigious accomplishment. 

This Blythe doll is Enchanted Petal; the baby mermaid is a mini Lalaloopsy. The background is a batik wall hanging which my daughter made in a high school art class. This picture is for the theme “Mermaid” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Blue

If blue is your favorite color, you are an honest person who values friendship and strives for balance. (Colorsexplained.com)

This pretty Blythe doll is Can Can Cat, posing on the last of the color-themed jigsaw puzzles from Cobble Hill that I completed this summer. She’s wearing a dress from On Blythe Street, and she’s very happy to be in front of the camera again…it’s been three years since I last took her picture!! My collection has gotten so large, everyone has to wait longer for their turn, except the newest girls, who get lots of camera time.

Row Your Boat

“Now then, Pooh,” said Christopher Robin, “where’s your boat?” “I ought to say,” explained Pooh as they walked down to the shore of the island, “that it isn’t just an ordinary sort of boat. Sometimes it’s a Boat, and sometimes it’s more of an Accident. It all depends.” “Depends on what?” “On whether I’m on the top of it or underneath it.” ~ A. A. Milne

This lovely Blythe doll is Coco Collette. I recently came across her absolutely amazing rowboat in my local antique mall. It’s very detailed and the perfect size for Blythe.
