Sledding

“Grab your sled! Grab your mittens! Grab your friends! We’re having a sledding party!

This Blythe doll is Tokyo Bright. Her bunny friend is an ornament. The background is scrapbooking paper, and the sledding scene is a mini puzzle.

I put this outfit together from odds and ends in my dolly wardrobe…I made the dress, and a swap partner made the ear muffs; and the coat and mittens were part of a “lot” of used dolly clothes I purchased a while ago. I really like how everything looks together.

Trees

You know that Christmas is coming when Christmas trees are everywhere!

This Blythe doll is Bow Wow Trad, wearing a tunic I recently made. She’s posing with a mini jigsaw puzzle that is the first one from a 12-day Advent calendar—no, I didn’t wait, I went ahead and made all the puzzles as soon as they arrived!

Fabulous

Have a fabulous fall day!

This pretty Blythe doll is Sea Sailor See. You can’t see much of her dress, but when I put it on her I realized how great she looks in brown. I will have to take another picture of her to highlight the dress! The background is scrapbooking paper.

Dear Deer

"From all kinds of flowers,
Seek teachings everywhere,
Like a deer that finds
A quiet place to graze,
Seek Seclusion to digest
All you have gathered. . ." ~ Namkhai Norbu

Rabbit and Deer

These Blythe dolls are Blue Rabbit (left) and Dear Forest Deer (right). As you can see, they have similar coloring, with Blue Rabbit having slightly darker hair and stronger makeup. Both are gorgeous!

Dear Forest Deer

Dear Forest Deer is here…and I absolutely LOVE all of her stock clothing! I didn’t realize, until I got her, that she actually has two dresses, and they are both very well made, and have beautiful details: lace and ribbons on the sleeves of the underdress, and gold lace at the neck and hem, as well as gold bows on the bodice of the overdress. Also, the bodice of the overdress is velvet, which is a luxurious touch. The earmuffs are actually the item that made her irresistible to me…and they are adorable! My favorite detail of the ensemble is the tiny metal acorn and leaf on the front of the stole; it is charming! The doll herself is lovely, and again Good Smile had given us a girl with an great abundance of hair. It is thick and slightly wavy, and lovely right out of the box (with a lot of gentle brushing). Dear Forest Deer is a winner!
