Card Sharp

Cards

Alice: the cutest--and possibly the most annoying--card sharp, ever.

 "Read 'em and weep, ladies, because I've got a royal flush!"

I actually Googled the terms "card sharp" and "card shark" because I have heard both, but I didn't know if one was right and one was wrong. It turns out that both are correct, with "shark" being used more in the USA, and "sharp" being more commonly used in the UK.  Even though I'm American, I liked the sound of "sharp" better, so that's what I went with!

This doll is Alice, my Simply Sparkly Spark.

Even if their tiny voices can't be heard inside the house, their body language makes their wishes perfectly transparent.

Early Morning

Favorite Time of Day


Stella's favorite time of day is early in the morning, before anyone else is awake. She can sit quietly and focus her thoughts, and prepare for the day ahead.

EMERGENCY!!

Emergency!


Paisley is such a terrible cook--this ALWAYS happens!

Mandy Cotton Candy--because I have to have ALL the candy-named dolls!

Chocolate Brown

Brown


I've never been a fan of the color brown.  I must admit though, that there are lots of  brown things that I love...like chocolate. And tanned Blythes!

This is my first tanned girl, Cherry Beach Sunset. I call her Gidget.

Beat It!

Beat It!


Every time she uses her new kitchen appliance, Daphne hears her favorite Michael Jackson song over and over in her head.

Daphne is my Candy Carnival Blythe doll.

Memories

One of Rose's favorite things to do on a winter afternoon, is to go through the family photo album, revisiting happy memories.

Rose is my Prima Dolly Peach Blythe doll.

Not Again--!

Ugh. It's just been one thing after another since the Sonny Angels came to stay.

The guy in the front is a Sonny Angel. The girl who has to clean up after him is the well-named Patience, my Veronica Lace Blythe doll.

Middie Family Photo

Family Photo


At Christmas I took a photo of my large Blythe Neo family...but I didn't include the Middies. Today it's their turn! Here they are, my six smallest Blythe girls.

Do they have names? You bet they do! Sadly, I don't keep track of them very well! I REALLY intend to get organized on Flickr and give each one her own album, labelled with her name...someday...

Which Came First?

Chicken


Merry ponders the age-old question: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Merry is my Prima Dolly Marigold Blythe doll. I made this dress to go with the egg hairclip I got from MissDoolittles on Etsy. Merry seems to be the only doll who can pull off this look though; I tried this outfit on several other girls, but it just didn't look as good on them as it does on Merry--her hair is just the perfect color for it!

Hair Care

Hair Care

You can trust the Sonny Angels for all your hair care needs

...said no one, ever. Penelope probably should have asked around before checking into their "salon".  This isn't going to end well.

Penelope is my Snowflake Sonata Blythe doll.

Temptation

For future reference, Sally: it is easier to avoid temptation, than to resist it.

The girl in the middle is a Miss Sally Rice Blythe Neo doll. The angel and the devil are Blythe Middies.

Mustache


You don't recognize me, do you?  I'm incognito.

If you DO recognize her, you will know that she is Curly Blue Babe.

Paper Dolls

Cut it Out  


Eve doesn't mind cutting out paper dolls for her sister whenever Brie asks, because she lives by the motto, "no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted."

Musical

Musical


Somewhere in the Appalachian mountains, a pair of musical sisters practice their act and dream of being discovered.

They are Petite Dejeuner and Raspberry Sorbet. I found their amazingly detailed instruments at Yankee Candle--they are Christmas tree ornaments!

Unusual

She's So Unusual


Because "unusual" is so much more interesting than "ordinary"...

Kat is a custom Blythe doll by Kaleidoscope Kustoms.

Did you know that dolls dream in color?

This is my customized doll, Brock. I chose her for this photo because she is one of only three of my dolls who has sleep eyes.

Education


Teachers have THEIR work cut out for them--THERE is so much that has to be taught.  How will students learn it all? THEY'RE going to have to do the homework!

The teacher is Bonnie, my Raspberry Sorbet blythe doll.

Get Out of the House


It was the perfect day to get out of the house and go ice skating...but Alice and Jubilee were surprised to have such a big audience!

Blue-haired Alice is Simply Sparkly Spark; magenta-haired Jubilee is Simply Thumpty Thump.

Penny can actually feel herself becoming smarter when she visits the library.

Penny is my Cloud 9 Bowl Blythe doll.

The Gigantic Shoe

Gigantic


Spying a gigantic shoe on the shore, the girls decided it must really be a canoe, not a shoe--because giants don't really exist, right?--and they set off upon the water, having never been in a boat before.

I have several Middie Blythe dolls, but I don't keep track of them very well! These girls are probably named April and Kitty.

A seed is a promise that Spring will come again.

Animal Lover

What's On Your Head?


Merry would like you to know that four hats are warmer than one--and animal hats are the warmest of all!

This is one of those photos that took on a life of it's own as I was trying to do something for today's theme, "What's On Your Head". I had the idea to do a tall stack of hats, but random hats weren't working well...then I noticed all the animal hats, and I also noticed my Sonny Angels with animal hats/heads/whatever, so this turned into a photo that is more about animals than about what is on her head!

Shoes!

Snow White

Gidget fears that if she doesn't sunbathe every day, she will lose her tan and become as pale as her sister Jane, whom she secretly refers to as "Snow White".

Jane is my new Kenner Blythe; Gidget is Cherry Beach Sunset.

You don't know how much you can accomplish until you try. 

Faith has decided to try. Hard.
