Swim into Summer

There's a new girl on the beach: Asha Alvira is giving Mermaid Tasha a run for her money. This picture is for the theme "Swim" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Float

My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea, and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.       --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

This Blythe doll is Prima Dolly Peony for the theme "Things that Float" 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:

Popsicles

Is it summer for you yet?

These Blythe dolls are Prima Dolly Marigold and Prima Dolly Peony. After doing yoga, they always enjoy a frozen treat! The swimsuit on the left came from RorruHandmade on Etsy; the one on the right is the stock outfit for Saffy. The popsicles are an image I printed from the internet and cut out--they look fairly realistic, don't they? I wanted this picture to have the feel of an advertisement...so why didn't I capitalize the "p"?

Yoga

It's a beautiful day for some beach yoga. Come out and join us!

These limber Blythe dolls are Prima Dolly Marigold (left) and Prima Dolly Peony (right.) They invented this yoga pose all by themselves! All parts of the background are made of fabric, except the construction paper sun which I was happy to be able to re-use after making it for a picture last week, in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

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. 

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. 

Sunshine Holiday

I got this card from Tillie in the mail today. I wish I was there too!

I actually have been to Hawaii a couple of times. My parents moved there for my father's work (he worked for the Federal Aviation Administration) when I was in college, and I got to visit them at Christmas, so I know first-hand how fabulous it is there!

Tillie is my Simply Bubble Boom Blythe doll. Her hair lights up every picture she's in! This is for the theme "Sunshine Holiday" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Relax

I'm heading out of town for a week to help my mother with some things, and I will keep thinking of this picture while I am gone, because I am anxious! I don't like to travel, and I don't like to be away from my home, husband, and cats...so I will remind myself repeatedly to be like Pretty Peony, and relax!
