Ice Cream

Blythe a Day June 30, 2015
Ice Cream


Rose is taking advantage of this perfect day to enjoy her ice cream treat outdoors.

Rose is my Prima Dolly Peach Blythe doll. Her awesome ice cream treat came in a Kawaii Box from Blippo.com...I gave my daughter a 6-month subscription to it for her birthday. Each box contains about a dozen cute little Japanese goodies, like this key chain fob, bracelets, hair clips, candy, notebooks, etc.

Watch

Watch

Jubilee, Eve, and Calliope like to stay informed, so they always watch the local news in the morning.

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem

Paisley was surprised and disappointed to learn that her favorite Latin phrase, "Carpe Diem", actually has nothing to do with seizing a carp--or any other kind of fish, for that matter!

Paisley is my Mandy Cotton Candy Blythe doll.

Trip to Paris

Trip


Images of the Eiffel Tower float through Collette's imagination, as she dreams of taking a trip to Paris.

She is Coco Collette.

Are We Done Yet?

Brock is growing more and more impatient, because Waverly is taking FOREVER to finish painting her portrait. Calm down, Brock! Quality takes time!

The pretty blue hair belongs to Waverly, my Candy Carnival Blythe doll. Brock is my Chantilly Lace custom doll. The painting is by my daughter, Jenna.

Everyone knows what dessert will be when Wendy is in charge: CUPCAKES!

(Wendy is standing in front of a painting by my daughter Jenna, who recently graduated from art school.)

Penny always enjoys a feeling of power when she volunteers as the neighborhood crossing guard.

Penny is my Cloud 9 Bowl Blythe doll. The little dolls are Sonny Angels.

Go Fish!

What's Your Number?


Because Tillie was always so sweet, her sister never realized that she was a terrible cheater when playing card games.

Tillie, on the left, is my Simply Bubble Boom Blythe doll. Jubilee, on the right, is my Simply Thumpty Thump Blythe doll.

Mask

Mask

Shhh...Heather is getting her beauty sleep.

Heather is my Prima Dolly Violet. The cute sleep mask came from an Etsy seller called Wheat Penny Jenny (or WP Jenny)...but her store seems to have disappeared. The blue kitty is from Violetpi on Etsy.

Money

Money

The annual money tree harvesting has begun! It looks like a good crop this year.  Faith and Charity should be able to buy all the shoes and dresses they want--and maybe a few presents for their friends!

Faith, on the left, is a Pow Pow Poncho Blythe doll. Charity, on the right, is a Mod Molly Blythe doll.

Perfect Purple Wardrobe

Blythe a Day June 18, 2015
Purple


Wendy likes things that are matchy-matchy. It's even better when they match her hair! She thinks, if it isn't purple, why bother?

Wendy is my Simply Lilac Blythe doll. I made all the outfits except the owl dress, which is from The Happy Plum on Etsy.

You've Got Mail!

You've Got Mail

Nobody gets more mail than Brock, since she joined the Penpal Club!

Brock is a Chantilly Lace custom doll.

The Amazingly Rare Sparkly Red Wubba Chikin!

Blythe a Day June 16, 2015
What's In Your Pocket?

Heather reached into her pocket and pulled out the strangest thing: an extremely rare, sparkly, red, wubba chikin! Bok bok!

I received this wubba chikin in a swap, so I don't know who made it or where it came from. But I do know that I love it! Yes, I made this dress with the mustache pocket. Silly, right?

Hearts

Blythe a Day June 15, 2015
Heart


Hearts are my favorite symbol, so it's no surprise that they appear in my dolls' wardrobe and accessories, not just for Valentine's Day, but all year round.

These dolls are, from left to right: Prima Dolly London, Curly Blue Babe, and Precocious Candy's Mushroom.

The Little Mermaid

Blythe a Day June 14, 2015
Tell Me a Story

Kitty never gets tired of hearing the story of The Little Mermaid, and her big sister Paisley never gets tired of reading it to her.

Kitty, on the left, is my Yellow Marshmallow Middie Blythe doll. Paisley, on the right, is my Mandy Cotton Candy Blythe doll. The mermaid doll is a Lalaloopsy.

Underneath

Underneath


Penelope always has to remind herself that there is NO SUCH THING as monsters underneath the bed.

Penelope is my Snowflake Sonata Blythe doll. The bed is from Good Dolly By Golly on Etsy.  I bought it unfinished and painted it myself.  The monster is an altered matchbox I made, which was inspired by the "Monster Book of Monsters" from the Harry Potter books.

Right or Left?

Right or Left?

She tried to follow the directions to her friend's house, but Collette feared that she was hopelessly lost in the maze of streets and alleys in this ancient town.

This pretty girl is Coco Collette...I'm not sure if I will always call her Collette, or if she will get a new name at some point.

Wedding Cake Disaster Averted

Blythe a Day June 11, 2015
Put a Bird on It


Alice was making the cake for her best friend's wedding, when the little plastic bride and groom for the top went missing. Thinking quickly, Alice found a good substitute in her kitchen. Disaster averted!

Alice is my Simply Sparkly Spark Blythe doll.

Candy

Blythe a Day June 10, 2015
Candy

I am a BIG fan of candy...and my dolls take after me!

This theme gave me lots of ideas, so I ended up with two photos. When choosing the dolls for my models, I was hoping to use one or more of them who have "candy" in their name (Candy Carnival, My Little Candy, Precocious Candy Mushroom, or Mandy Cotton Candy).  However, none of them have bright pink hair, and that's what I wanted to go with this background, and this dress with candy on the skirt. So it's Prima Dolly London (London) in the first picture, and Ichigo Heaven (Ellie) in the second picture, who did the honors.

Happy Birthday

Blythe a Day June 9, 2015
Birthday

Charity decided it was high time we had a party around here! Who cares if it isn't anyone's birthday--we'll have one big party for everyone! Happy Birthday to all my Blythe girls!

Charity is my Mod Molly Blythe doll. I happen to be the host for the Blythe a Day group on Flickr this month, and I chose this theme today because I like to have a good birthday photo to post on my dolly friends' Facebook walls on their special day--and I don't like using the same old pictures all the time! So here's a new one! Yay!

Wishing on a Star

Blythe a Day June 8, 2015
Moon/Star


It took some time, but Tillie finally managed to explain the concept of "wishing upon a star" to the Sonny Angels.

Tillie is my Simply Bubble Boom Blythe doll.

Don't Give Up!

Don't Give Up

Today we have some words of wisdom and encouragement from Beryl.

Beryl is my Enchanted Petal Blythe doll.

Seashore

Blythe a Day June 6, 2015
Seashore

Promise loves to sunbathe on the beach, and she sneaks away to do it as often as she can. She always brings a school book with her, so her sisters can't accuse her of wasting her time...but what they don't know is that she never opens the book!

Promise is a Little Milk Heart Blythe doll.

Flats or Heels?

Blythe a Day June 5, 2015
Decisions, Decisions


Poor Heidi can't make up her mind which shoes to wear today. The heels look prettier, but the flats are more comfortable. Decisions, decisions!

Heidi is my Cousin Olivia Blythe doll.

Laundry Day

Blythe a Day June 4, 2015
Laundry


In the springtime, Heidi always hangs the laundry to dry outside on the line; it smells so much fresher that way!

Heidi is my Cousin Olivia Blythe doll.

Rainbow

Blythe a Day June 3, 2015
Rainbow

I've photographed a "rainbow" of  my dolls before, so to make this picture a bit different, I've included some other little dollies. The cubbyhole shelves are new; my husband bought them for me for my birthday. They are the perfect size to display my Sonny Angels and mini Lala Loopsies.

Dinner

Pssst...Wendy...no peeking during the dinner blessing, please!

These dolls are, from left to right: custom by Chantilly Lace (I call her Brock); Simply Lilac (I call her Wendy); and Spright Beauty (I call her Maisy).
