Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
Galadriel, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)This started out as another picture for the “patience” photo challenge, but I came across this great movie quote, above, while Googling the word “grow”. So now it’s an image about reaching your potential! The dolls are Cool Pool Lemonade and Zyanya Remembers.
“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is Playful Raindrops, planting a seed for the photo challenge theme “It will give you patience” in the Facebook group Blythe Pure and Simple.
You know about the Puppy Parade, don’t you? It happens every year on the last Sunday in June. Everyone dresses their dog in a costume and the winner of Best Costume gets their picture in the paper. Hope found a great seat and there’s room for one more…I think I’ll join her!
This is my newest Blythe doll, Spring Hope. The doggies in costumes are made by Schylling; I found them at my local World Market store. They are a great size to go with Blythe, and the costumes are removable. I’m so pleased with them that I bought all the different ones!
Introducing: Spring Hope! She makes a good argument for a year-round celebration of spring/Easter. I love her special features that I somehow didn’t know about when I ordered her (it was a case of “Pink hair, you say? Here’s my credit card!) First of all, SHE HAS A BUNNY TAIL!! She keeps it on her pull string and it is adorable! She also has gorgeous special-shaped brown eyelashes and pink nail polish. By the way, did you notice her gigantic hat? You can see her coming a mile away in that thing, but somehow the exaggerated proportions really work for her, and I love it. Her skirt and blouse are lovely, but my favorite part of her ensemble is the hair band. It’s a plastic band covered with the same fabric as her skirt, and the attached bow is perfect. Oh, one more interesting thing: the metal pole of her stand is pink!
Her hair is really thick. I’ve brushed it, and it doesn’t seem to need a spa. All in all, I think she’s great! I’m so glad I got her!
So it seems that inventing is very much like any creative process. I’ve always done my best when I have a big pile of “something” to work with—fabric, yarn, or art supplies.
This Blythe doll is Zyanya Remembers, wearing the stock shirt and skirt from Picnic Al Fresco. The picture is for the theme “junk” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
“If your tires don’t squeal, you aren’t going fast enough!”
Watch out everyone, here comes Sea Sailor See, and she doesn’t observe the speed limit! But she does look cute in this Miema top and boots from Sweet Bubbly Bear. Please don’t tell Barbie she “borrowed” her scooter.
If you try to be good and kind-hearted, your aura will be radiant and soft.
This picture is for the weekly photo challenge in the Facebook group Blythe Pure and Simple. Isn’t Minty Magic lovely? She looks radiant and soft so she was the perfect model for this one.
Having a good day? Sit down and enjoy some refreshments!
This is a different take on the weekly photo challenge theme in the Facebook group Blythe Pure and Simple, brought to you by UFO A Go Go. Her hair has faded from the bright blue color she had right out of the box, but she’s still pretty!
Hard day? Sit and enjoy some refreshments.
Pow Wow Poncho has clearly had a VERY hard day. This is for the weekly photo challenge in the Facebook group Blythe Pure and Simple. I made the dress and headband. The background came with Mrs. Retro Mama; I’ve never used it before because it is a little bit short if the doll is standing, but I just realized that it works fine in a photo if she is sitting.
“Counting chickens is hard work, whether they’ve hatched or not!”
Poor Zyanya. It looks like she will be in the barnyard all day trying to get the right number. Will she count the dogs in chicken suits, I wonder?
Relax and enjoy your life.
Zyanya Remembers and Fani Flamingo take a break at the beach with their Sonny Angel friend.
Asha’s fortune cookie said “You will have a sparkly day full of stars,” and she wasn’t going to argue.
Asha Alvira looks great in All Gold in One’s jumpsuit. Holding a disco ball and glittery rubber chicken, she’s as sparkly as she can be as she poses for the weekly challenge theme in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.
Be patient. Your time will come. Why not knit something while you wait?
Sweet Bubbly Bear is pink perfection! I wonder how similar she will be to Spring Hope? I will soon find out!
