September 2018 Calendar Page

This doll is "My Melody x Blythe Softly Cuddly You & Me"...whom I always refer to as simply My Melody or just Melody for obvious reasons! She is one of my very favorite Blythe dolls, perhaps my second favorite after Blythe Adores Anna Sui.

For this September calendar page, I started with a pretty scrap booking paper for the background. Melody's dusty-rose colored hair made her the perfect doll to pose with it, and I just happened to have this dress which picks up all the colors in the background...I especially like that it seems to blend into the background where the two touch.

This picture is intended to be used as wallpaper on a cell phone; feel free to use it if you like it. I use it on my lock screen (you can see how that looks in the second photo.) Just view this page on your phone, then tap the photo to save it. Then go to your phone settings and choose it as your wallpaper (I had to adjust the size slightly to make it fit on my screen, it's just a bit too big as it is.) It's a little gift from me to you, and I hope you enjoy it. 

No More Tears

Joy doesn't cry about the high cost of shampoo now that she buys it in the economy-size five gallon bottle. 

This is My Melody.

Be Happy

This photo is in honor of Anne Frank's birth on June 12, 1929. It's been a long time since I've read her diary; I think it's time to read it again. 

My Melody.

Pink Hair

I recently posted a picture of my blue-haired Blythes; today I am pleased to present my pink-haired girls. I've added their stock name abbreviation under each one, and just for clarity, I will write them out below. The abbreviations I used came from the app called "My Dolly Collection for Blythe"--I've noticed that different people sometimes use different abbreviations, which can be confusing. This app is the first thing I've found that conveniently lists every Neo Blythe (even the very newest, not yet released dolls!) in an easy-to-navigate app for my phone and iPad. It is a work in progress; future updates will allow you catalog your personal collection (I can't wait!) 

I've left out my peach-haired girls from this line-up...the difference between peach and pink can be quite subtle, so I understand that some people might classify them differently. I was going to include Dainty Biscuit, and I actually took a picture with her in the group, but she just didn't look right and I had to take her out--even though her hair is officially "pink". Another confusing moment came when I realized that Prima Dolly Peach has pink hair! That's her, second from the right. 

Here are their stock names, from left to right:

My Melody X Blythe--Softly Cuddle You and Me
Snowflake Sonata
Ichigo Heaven
Prima Dolly London
Prima Dolly Peony
Charlotte de Fleurs
Sprite (sometimes spelled Spright) Beauty 
Prima Dolly Peach
My Little Candy

Chikins!

Joy has discovered that if she lies perfectly still, the wild wubba chikins' curiosity will overcome their timidity, and they will approach her. If everything goes according to plan, she will have a flock of pet chikins by the end of the month. 

Just in case you don't know, wubba chikins are a "thing" in the Blythe doll community, and it was started by one woman, Juliet Waldon, who took pictures of her dolls with them, and mailed one free to anyone who asked. There is a whole Flickr group dedicated to Blythe and chikins, with Wednesday being proclaimed "Wubba Wednesday". Really! To take a look at this group, click HERE.

Joy is my My Melody Blythe doll. 

Happy Easter

This is My Melody, wearing her stock bunny ears, and a dress I made.

Happy Valentine's Day

I'm sending out great big Valentine's Day hugs to all my readers! 

Have a happy day and I hope you have time to play with your Blythes!

This is the ever-beautiful My Melody Blythe doll. 

Easter Bunny

Bunny

At the Easter Egg Hunt, little June encounters the real Easter Bunny--and she's pleasantly surprised to see that she's a girl!

My Melody is still in her stock outfit (I got her on Valentine's Day!) But I love it on her and it really works for Easter--maybe she should have been an Easter gift! The Middie is Francoise Ananassa.
