Be My Guest

"Welcome to my home. You're just in time for tea."

This is Mermaid Tasha posing on a jigsaw puzzle I just finished. Too bad this isn't how our home really looks! I've always enjoyed puzzles and I've done several of them recently.

Dessert

Hey look, Mermaid Tasha baked you some cupcakes!

This picture is for the theme "Dessert" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. (I forgot the hidden object again so don't bother looking for it!)

Drop Me a Line

The current lock-down situation is the perfect time to rediscover the joy of writing letters the old-fashioned way.

This is my most recent entry for the "guess the theme" photos in the Facebook group Distancing with Dolls. The theme is obvious if you can identify the thing on the left side of the table...and no, it's not a stick of butter! (That's what my husband thought it was.)

Fortune Cookie #2

Her fortune said: "People are naturally attracted to you."
"How could a cookie know so me so well?" she wondered.

Today's fortune is brought to you by Blythe Adores Anna Sui, wearing a vintage Kenner Blythe dress. I chose her to be the center of attention in this picture because I too am very attracted to her--she is one of my top favorite Blythe dolls. The Neos in the back are Mermaid Tasha (left) and Winterish Allure (right); the Middies in the front are Cool Pool Lemonade (left) and Lena Elena (right). Fortune Cookie series #2.

What's Normal?

This lovely Blythe doll is Mermaid Tasha. She's wearing the new Rosie Gelutie outfit and starfish earrings we got from our friend Angie for Christmas. Thank you Angie! The outfit has little black cats in the print, which is one of the reasons Angie chose this for me, since I am a crazy for cats.

When I was setting up this photo, I was once again impressed by how fabulous Tasha's hair is. Sooo soft and beautiful; easy to brush, tangle-free and grease-free. I can't recommend her enough!

Bedtime Story

"Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is April's favorite story, because she loves teddy bears, and she really identifies with that naughty Goldilocks!

The Neo Blythe is Mermaid Tasha; the Middie is Nellie Nibbles. This picture is for the theme "Bears" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Have You Heard?

"Gossip is just news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress."
                                                                 --Liz Smith

Liz Smith was an American gossip columnist for several major newspapers, from 1976 to 2009. With gossip as her livelihood, it's no surprise that she would elevate it to the same level as news--and make it sound fancier by putting it in a red dress!

The doll on the left is Pretty Peony wearing the stock dress from Love Mission. The Blythe on the right is Mermaid Tasha. This picture is for the theme "Satin Doll" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

August 2019 Calendar Page

The year is flying by--it's almost August already! This calls for a new Blythe doll calendar picture for my cell phone wallpaper. This is Mermaid Tasha at the beach, in non-mermaid form! If you like it, feel free to use this picture on your phone too.

This is how it looks on my phone:

Adventure Awaits

They were all ready for an adventure, so they loaded up the boat and headed toward the beach of an unexplored island. 

From left to right, these Blythe dolls are: Mermaid Tasha, Pretty Peony, and Sarah Shades. This picture is for the theme "Swimsuit" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

This is the first chance I've had to use this boat, which I found at Hobby Lobby (on sale!) a couple of months ago. 

Would You Rather...

If you had to choose one of these, which would you rather do:

--Wear a bathing suit every day?
--Wear a ball gown every day? 

Remember, this is all day, every day; to work, to play (okay, you can wear pajamas to bed.)

Mermaid Tasha and Snowflake Sonata have each made their choice. What about you? 

TM's bathing suit and sandals came from The Handflower on Etsy. SS is wearing Allegra Champagne's gown. For the theme "Would you Rather" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Fun in the Sun

"I'm ready!"

Mermaid Tasha is such a water lover, for obvious reasons! This picture is for the theme "Fun in the Sun" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Shadow

Tasha just can't hide her inner mermaid. 

Mermaid Tasha is wearing Sunshine Holiday's stock dress. This picture is for the theme "shadow" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Food for Thought

This picture is for the theme "Silhouette" in the Blythe Weekly group on Flickr. These Blythe dolls are Smiley Waffles on the left, and Mermaid Tasha on the right. 

Pictures

You oughta be in pictures, 
You're wonderful to see, 
You oughta be in pictures, 
Oh what a hit you would be!

(Lyrics from the 1934 song "You Oughta Be in Pictures")

It's been weighing heavily on my mind that I haven't posted ANY pictures in February yet, so today I made time to set up a picture that I've been planning for a while. These are three of my newest dolls, looking as pretty as a picture (Unicorn Maiden, Mermaid Tasha, and Cream Cheese and Jam.)

February 2019 Calendar Page

Tomorrow is the first day of February, so it's time to think about updating my cellphone wallpaper with a new calendar page. I went with the obvious theme--Valentine's Day--because I love hearts, and flowers, and pink. I won't mind seeing them even after Valentine's Day has come and gone. If you like this picture, feel free to use it on your cellphone. The second photo shows how it looks on my phone's lock screen. 

This pretty blonde Blythe is Mermaid Tasha. She's wearing a dress by Endangered Sissy. The background is scrapbook paper. 

Angel Wings

This is Mermaid Tasha, one of the most gorgeous Blythe dolls ever! The quote is from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life," although in the movie they say "his" wings...of course I had to change that!

Now that she's dressed as an angel, I'm going to put her on the top of our Christmas tree, where we can enjoy her all month long. 

Here's a Tip

Here's a quick tip from Hannah: "When applying your makeup, use a good powder to remove that glaring shine. You'll be glad you did!"

She knows a lot about makeup, for a mermaid. 

I made this picture for the theme "Kiss and Make Up" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr...even though it's only the "makeup" part! I just got this very tiny and detailed Rement set and I needed to use it.

August 2018 Calendar

August is nearly here, so it's time to get my phone ready for the new month with some new wallpaper. I love my Mermaid Tasha doll, and her summery beauty makes her the perfect model for this calendar page. Feel free to use and enjoy this picture on your phone too! 

This is how she looks on my phone's lock screen:

Let's Do Nothing

Google tells me that this quote is a Spanish proverb. I've never heard it before (maybe because I'm not Spanish!), but I love it!

I was waiting for this dolly-sized pool float to come in the mail so I could take another picture of Mermaid Tasha, this time in her swimsuit. She is wearing Curly Blue Babe's sunglasses. Looking good, Hannah!

The Mermaid's Collection

Another perfect specimen for her collection.

I was planning to keep the name Tasha for this sweet mermaid. It would simplify the naming process to keep a normal-sounding stock name when I get a new doll. But as I was taking this picture I was thinking about how pretty Darryl Hannah was in the movie "Splash"...and then I knew that this girl's name was Hannah!
