Cat Art

Meanwhile, at The Museum of Cat Art, it’s “Wear a cat costume for free admission” day! Let’s go!

The Blythe dolls are both Sea Sailor See, wearing stock outfits from Meowsy Wowsy and Zoe and Her Pet Fish, for “Art” in Blythe a Day on Flicker. The background is a fun puzzle which I recently completed.

Escape

Everyone needs an escape now and then. Cadence is escaping to Paris.

This Blythe doll is Cadence Majorette, for “Escape” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. Her outfit and basket came from the goodie bag for Play and Party Paris this past summer. No, I didn’t attend…there were extra bags available for purchase after the event.

Pieces

Love is all you need.

This Blythe doll is Pretty Peony, wearing her stock dress, for “Puzzles” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. Was this theme chosen with me in mind?? I can only assume, yes! Someone knows that I love puzzles!

Lego

I will never “Lego” of your heart.

This Blythe doll is Daunting Drusilla, wearing an exquisite dress…but sadly, I can’t remember who made it. Today’s theme is “Lego” (obviously). At the beginning of the month, when I read through the list of themes, I didn’t have any Legos, so I ordered this fun puzzle (from Amazon), featuring Lego mini figures, for the background. The mini figures on it are so cute that I bought a blind box of six figures, one of which you can see on the heart in this picture. This was fun and different for me.

This Blythe doll is My Little Candy, with a Littlest Pet Shop Blythe doll and a Momiji doll for “Partner” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. I’ve wanted to take a cowgirl themed picture with these two little dolls and a Blythe doll wearing this western outfit (from Darling Diva, hat from Urban Cowgirl) for quite a while! Finally it all came together!

Pie

No one is sweeter than Blythe!

This Blythe doll is Coquette Lumiere wearing Stella Serendipitous’s’ stock dress for “Pie” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. The background is scrapbooking paper. The pie was a splurge on Etsy ($21.50 from CraftyGirlsofAvon) but I’ve used it quite a bit; it’s a really great prop.

Nuts!

We’re all nuts about Blythe around here!

This Blythe doll is Sadie Sprinkle with a Steiff squirrel for “Squirrel Appreciation “ in Blythe a Day on Flickr. No, it’s not too early for Valentine’s posts! These big weird decor acorns came from a thrift shop…I found them a few hours after envisioning this picture, but I was going to have to make it with normal sized acorns. What a coincidence! What a find!

Time To Make the Doughnuts

“These new employees are great—they make the most tender doughnuts ever! I just wish they would remember to wear their hair nets, though.”

This Blythe doll is Donna Doughnut for “Tenderness” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. The background is a poster that came with a jigsaw puzzle. I didn’t realize it was AI until I opened the box; I will have to be more careful with my purchases in the future. I much prefer real art by real people, but this image is so cute I went ahead and used it for my picture, despite the weird flaws that always show up in AI images (such as the cats’ collars, and the squirrel which is half in and half out of a solid window…!)

Duck Duck Jeep

There was a surprise waiting for Elaine when she returned to her Jeep: she’d been ducked!

Have you heard of Jeep ducking? It’s just a fun thing that Jeep owners, (and admirers) do…they place a rubber duck on a random Jeep, sometimes anonymously, sometimes adding a tag with a message such as “you’ve been ducked by HappyJeeper123” or something along those lines. A year ago I started driving a Jeep Cherokee, and two months ago the duck in this picture was my first (and so far, only) ducking!

This Blythe doll is Lavendula Babe, posing for “Rubber Duck” in Blythe a Day on Flickr.

This Blythe doll is Simply Guava, wearing Playful Raindrops’ stock raincoat, and joined by a Wonder Frog and a Sonny Angel for “Step In a Puddle” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. The background is a jigsaw puzzle. I tried to make a big splash out of foil, but it doesn’t look as great as I imagined it would!

Chickens

Everybody likes something. Mondie like chickens.

This Blythe doll is Mondrian, for Snuggle a Chicken in Blythe a Day on Flickr. I got this Steiff chicken in Germany many years ago when my husband and I lived there for his Army posting. Usually the “button” that is the Steiff trademark is in the ear, but since chickens don’t have big ears, it’s on her wing.

Old Rock

As she carefully chipped away the old rock to expose the fossil, the paleontologist imagined what this area must have looked like millions of years ago when it was teeming with dinosaurs.

This Blythe doll is Blue Rabbit, posing for “Old Rock” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. I bought the fabulous background/wall hanging, and the toy dinosaurs a few years ago when there was a full month of dinosaur themes. I’m happy to have a reason to use them again!

The background is the poster that came with a jigsaw puzzle that I got for Christmas (I haven’t made the puzzle yet, but the poster was great for this picture). The painting she is working on was done by my daughter.

Trivial Pursuit

“It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” —Grantland Rice

This is a Littlest Pet Shop Blythe doll called Desert Fun playing Trivial Pursuit with her friends for “Trivia” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. This “World’s Smallest” Trivial Pursuit game is actually playable—if you can read the teeny tiny print on the cards! The manufacturer has thoughtfully included a small magnifier to help you with that!

Open the door to new possibilities in 2025!

This Blythe doll is Cinnamoroll for the theme “Door” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. The boy is Ken from the movie Barbie. This gorgeous door is from Byer’s Choice; it’s free-standing, so it wasn’t hard to set up different scenes on each side of it.
