Easter's on its Way

Bunny, chicks, a basket full of colored eggs...

hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way!

Happy Easter to all from Ellie and her friends. 

Ellie is my Ichigo Heaven Blythe doll. The bunny is a McDonald's Happy Meal toy from the movie "The Secret Life of Pets".

Beautiful New Bedding

What do you do when you want to go to sleep, but your bed looks so beautiful with the new quilt and pillows that you don't want to ruin the effect?

I guess Ellie will be sleeping on the sofa tonight. 

Thank you to Angie Coppi for the gorgeous bedding set. She hand-sewed the quilt (which is very detailed, with lace, beads, and quilted hearts), using colors that I requested; she also hand-sewed the matching pillows and sleep mask; and she knitted the amazing throw from bamboo yarn--which I've never heard of before--it is extremely soft and beautiful. This is Angie's half of a swap we are doing...I am still working on my package for her. I think I need to "up" my game a little, in light of these fabulous gifts!

Ellie is my Ichigo Heaven Blythe doll. She got her name thanks to another swap I did...that swap partner was getting a new doll, and was trying to decide on a name for her. The top contender was "Ellie", so I went ahead and made a white dress with that name embroidered on it as part of the swap. But...you guessed it...she decided on a different name for the doll, so I kept the dress and used the name for the next girl to enter my dolly family!

Resolutions for 2017

Before getting out of bed on New Year's Day, 

Ellie took some time to think about 

how she wants to improve herself 

during the coming year.

Shoe Love

Everyone loves something. Ellie loves shoes. 

Ellie is my Ichigo Heaven Blythe doll. How did she get her name, you ask? Here's the story: I was in a Blythe sundries swap in a group on Facebook. My swap partner had just gotten a new doll and was talking to me about what to name her. She was considering a few names, but Ellie was her favorite, and as soon as she seemed sure about it, I went ahead and made a dress for the doll with the name Ellie embroidered on it, to send as part of the swap. Well, wouldn't you know, my partner decided not to go with the name Ellie after all!  Since I had this nice dress on my hands, my next new doll got the dress and the name.

Goodnight!

Ellie is ready for bed. Goodnight!

I made this nightgown and slipper set at the request of my friend Angie on Facebook. She is making a doll quilt and pillow set for another Facebook friend who is currently recovering from cancer surgery. Angie sent me the fabric for the gown so it will match the quilt perfectly.

Ellie is my Ichigo Heaven Blythe doll. I do love the pink-haired girls!

Because the gown and slippers turned out so well, I plan to offer these in my Etsy shop soon! I'm going to use a white-on-white print, and embroider some flowers at the neckline.

Candy

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.

How many dolls do you see?

This is Ellie, my Ichigo Heaven Blythe doll, reflected many times in two mirrors.

Pink, Please!

Ooh, I LOVE making these colored-themed photos, and pink is my favorite color!

The Blythe dolls are London (Prima Dolly London) at the top, and Ellie (Ichigo Heaven) at the bottom.

Spring is In The Air

"Happy Spring!" from Ellie to everyone.

Ellie is my Ichigo Heaven Blythe doll. She's wearing a Trio dress...it has a matching headband but I couldn't find it when I was taking this picture, so she's wearing one I made!
