Off to the Races

The annual Neighborhood Pet Races are a favorite summer activity for everyone in Blytheville. Who will win?

The Neo Blythe is Picnic Al Fresco. The Middies are Cool Pool Lemonade, Yellow Marshmallow and Smiley Waffle. The animals are Littlest Pet Shop pets.

Monsters!

Not all monsters are scary.

They are: Neo Blythe Mandy Cotton Candy, Middie Blythe Yellow Marshmallow, and a Littlest Pet Shop Petite Blythe. The pink crocheted monster was a gift I received in a swap a few years ago. Day 29 of 31 Days of Halloween.

Baby Dolls

There's no such thing as too many baby dolls!

This Middie Blythe doll is Yellow Marshmallow, wearing the stock outfit from Puchippu Chappu Pepa. The small dolls are various Lalaloopsy minis, and a troll. This picture is for the theme "Baby Doll" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Mother's Day 2019

Best wishes for a happy Mother's Day to all you lovely moms!

Grand Opening

It is a picture-perfect day for the grand opening of the Smiley Waffle ice cream stand at the park. Opening day special: large cones are half price!

These girls are, from left to right: Snowflake Sonata, Smiley Waffle, Nellie Nibbles, and Yellow Marshmallow. When Smiley Waffle first arrived here, I did an ice cream themed picture, so when I saw that today's theme in the Blythe a Day group was "Ice Cream," I thought I would skip it. But...a new girl needs more pictures, so I tried to think of something different. I realized that her box looks like an ice cream stand, so I removed the plastic window from the front of the box, and everything came together cutely.

Let's Go for a Hay Ride

Everyone waits patiently for Maximus to accept his carrot bribe; then Cowgirl Joy will hitch him to the wagon and the hay ride can commence!

Perhaps the cute dolls in the foreground (Middies Cool Pool Lemonade, Yellow Marshmallow, and Lena Elena, and Neo Unicorn Maiden) kept you from noticing the cool new barn backdrop I found at World Market this week. I love it, although it's really big and heavy; but it has hooks on the back so it can be hung on the wall...which will be a good way to store it when it's not being used for dolly photos. 

Passing the Time

Sick in bed, Kitty passes the time with a new coloring book and some freshly-sharpened colored pencils.

This Middie Blythe is Yellow Marshmallow. Her coloring book of Blythe dolls was in the goody bag I got at BlytheCon NY in 2013. For the theme "coloring book" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

May the Fourth

May the Fourth be with you...and every other date in May, too!

I happen to love the month of May; in fact, it is my favorite month of the year, so I wanted to celebrate it accordingly (sorry for skipping the Stars Wars reference!) This picture was inspired by the work of an artist I admire, Geninne, who makes a free monthly calendar painting that can be used as wallpaper on your computer or cell phone. So yes, I did put this on my phone as wallpaper! It's a bit big though; I need to work on resizing it.

This is a chalkboard flat lay. The two dolls are Yellow Marshmallow (the Middie) and Playful Raindrops (the Neo.)

Bike Ride

Never slow down!

Another chalkboard flat lay. I love doing these! The middie is Yellow Marshmallow and the neo is UFO A Go Go. 

Happy Easter!

We wish everyone a happy day full of Easter blessings!

The Perfect Tree

Since they were unable to reach a consensus on the perfect tree, they agreed to disagree. 

I got the idea for this picture from images that are quite common at this time of year, of a tree tied on top of a car...I thought it would be cute to have trees being carried in and on different types of transportation, so these girls brought out their bike, wagon, and sled. 

They are, from left to right: Yellow Marshmallow (middie), Raspberry Sorbet, and Lady Camellia.

Friendly Monsters

It's the perfect time of year for Yellow Marshmallow (the Middie) and Mandy Cotton Candy (the Neo) to break out their monster-themed stock outfits. 

Mandy's cute monster purse was the prize in a recent giveaway in a Facebook group--I was the winner! (The maker, Sarah Hearn, sells them in her Etsy shop, ErikosEmporium.) It's been a great week for winning, between this prize and the great things I won at BlytheCon Brooklyn. My luck is so good right now, maybe I should buy a lottery ticket!

Sewing Together

Sewing is twice as much fun when you do it with a friend!

Books

The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, 

and all the sweet serenity of books.

Kiki (Yellow Marshmallow middie Blythe doll) and Sally (Miss Sally Rice Neo Blythe doll)

Art, Part II

Kiki dreams of the day when her art will hang in famous galleries and be appreciated by millions...for now, it hangs in the hallway, and is only appreciated by her sisters.

My daughter Jenna made all these littles works of art for me and my dollies. These dolls are Alice (Simply Sparkly Spark) and Kiki (Yellow Marshmallow). Kiki was known as Kitty until recently, when someone commenting on a picture of her on Facebook mis-read her name and called her Kiki. I like it so much, it's sticking with her!

We "Heart" Art

The cute artwork on the easel is a sketch my daughter Jenna made for me as a Mother's Day card this year. I love it when she draws my dolls! Her art is usually very different than this...you can see for yourself in her Etsy shop: Jenna Andersen Art Shop.

The blue-haired girl is Alice, my Simply Sparkly Spark Neo Blythe doll. The pink-haired girl is Kiki (formerly Kitty), my Yellow Marshmallow middie Blythe doll.

Bake Sale

Kitty can never resist a bake sale.

Kitty the middie is Yellow Marshmallow; Wendy the Neo is Simply Lilac.

The Little Mermaid

Blythe a Day June 14, 2015
Tell Me a Story

Kitty never gets tired of hearing the story of The Little Mermaid, and her big sister Paisley never gets tired of reading it to her.

Kitty, on the left, is my Yellow Marshmallow Middie Blythe doll. Paisley, on the right, is my Mandy Cotton Candy Blythe doll. The mermaid doll is a Lalaloopsy.
