Prayer Flag #7: Peace
Blythe doll: Sadie Sprinkle

Ewe are Special

Yesterday, when I posted a scripture-themed photo for Sunday, I noticed that I had forgotten to post the one I made for the previous week! Here it is; I hope to continue this for a while, so there's no reason to hold it until next Sunday. This lovely doll is Sadie Sprinkle. 

Faith

A person who prays is never alone. 

A dolly friend of mine, who loves her Catholic faith, asked me to make some cards and notebooks for her, using the picture, below, which first appeared in this blog several years ago. That picture was for the theme "Let it Be," based on the Beatles song. Since I'm Catholic too, I started thinking about other pictures I could make with a Catholic theme, and I came up with the one above. At first glance it is rather similar to the one below, but the new picture is brighter and has a more positive feel to it. It features a lovely statue of Mary which I received this past Christmas. (Just in case you are wondering--yes, she is actually standing there, not cut-and-pasted in; Mary is on a stand which is underneath the blue fabric that makes up the sky. I added polyester fiberfill around the base of the statue to make it look like she is floating on a cloud, and added some light effects around her in the Pic Monkey editing app.) That's Sadie Sprinkle wearing the Sunday's Very Best stock outfit, and holding my favorite rosary.

For this next photo, I gathered some of the religious objects I've collected over the years, and arranged them, along with Mandy Cotton Candy, for a Catholic flat lay photo. Looking at this makes me think that I need to make some doll dresses with religious motifs on the fabric!

Learn a New Word

What? You've never heard the word "fancactus" before??

This is Sadie Sprinkle educating you for the theme "Learn a New Word" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Tea for Two

Having tea together is such a friendly thing to do. 

These girls are Sadie Sprinkle (left) and Allegra Champagne (right.) Their hair is the same color (any differences in this photo are due to lighting, I think), so I wanted to put them together for a comparison photo. They are wearing the stock dresses from Coco Collette and Junie Moonie Cutie. This picture is for the theme "Tea for Two" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Tell Me More!

It's great to have a friend who tells you that everything you bake is delicious!

They are Juliette (my Sadie Sprinkle Blythe doll, wearing her stock dress), and her friend Cupcake (a Momiji doll.) This picture is for the theme "Delicious" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Selfie Sunday

It's a beautiful day! Zelda grabbed her friends and headed to the park to enjoy the outdoors. Happy Selfie Sunday, everyone!

These Blythe dolls are, from left to right: Sadie Sprinkle (I call her Juliette), Blythe Adores Anna Sui (Zelda), and Allegra Champagne (Bridget).

When Pearl Appeared

A hush fell over the party when Pearl appeared, 

because she was dressed in pink from head to toe, 

and was attended by a pair of adorable minions. 

She was magnificent!

From left to right: Little Milk Heart, Sadie Sprinkle, and Dainty Biscuit Blythe dolls. Oh, and of course, the two little Sonny Angels who just joined the family--they are from the 2017 Valentine's set. I only bought two blind boxes, and I was super excited when I opened them and saw that I got the very two that I wanted--the bear and the kitty!

Portrait of Jane

Jane was in total shock when she saw the gift her sisters gave her: 

a life-size portrait of herself, painted by a famous artist, 

in honor of her one-year anniversary in the family.

Now THAT'S a gift!

This sweet Kenner Blythe did indeed come into my dolly family one year ago, on Christmas day. This year, my daughter Jenna painted her portrait for my Christmas gift! I love it!

The other two Blythes in this photo are Mod Molly, far left, and Sadie Sprinkle.

Reading, Part 2

Why does an interruption ALWAYS happen 

just as you get to the most exciting part of the book?

Juliette (Sadie Sprinkle) will deal with this distraction and get right back to reading her book.

Home Alone

Blythe a Day on Flickr
Theme: Home Alone


Just as Juliette settled onto the sofa in her pajamas, ready to spend a relaxing evening at home alone, she heard the worst possible sound: THE DOORBELL.

Juliette is my Sadie Sprinkle Blythe doll.

Waitangi Day

Blythe-a-Day Feb. 6, 2015

Juliette wants to become a teacher, so she is practising on the neighborhood children. Today's lesson: New Zealand's national day, Waitangi Day.

Juliette is a Sadie Sprinkle Blythe Neo (2013, RBL).

Dolly Line-up

There's nobody here but us dollies...

These Blythes are Veronica Lace (released in 2008) and Sadie Sprinkle (released in 2013). The "old" dolls are actually modern dolls, made to look old, which I bought at a local craft store.
