Love

Prayer flag #2: Love

This is another prayer flag that I received in a craft swap a few years ago. For those who haven't heard of these before, this article is quite good: https://www.clothpaperscissors.com/blog/how-to-make-prayer-flags/

In the center of this flag is a heart made of many, many French knots. You might have to look closely to see the theme, LOVE, spelled out in the tiles at the top of the flag. This Blythe doll is Enchanted Petal.

Love is in the Air

This Blythe doll is Cadence Majorette posing for the theme "June Brides" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I almost skipped this theme because my dolls don't have a wedding dress or veil, but I thought I would try to improvise a veil with some net fabric and a crown-shaped hair clip. It worked out okay!

Love

The Bible said it, the Beatles said it, and now, Anna Sui says it. Love really is all you need. 

The new Blythe a Day group for September starts today (of course, because it's September 1st)--but, the list of themes is usually posted a week or more before the new month starts, so everyone has time to think about it and start on the first couple of pictures...this month however, the list wasn't posted until this morning, so I had to get BUSY if I wanted to participate. Fortunately, the theme "Love" is an easy one for me, since I "love" hearts and have a lot of them! Anna Sui is wearing a dress I made with a heart pocket; the little stuffed hearts were part of a 365 Heart a Day blog I did a few years ago; and the heart artwork was something I received in a craft swap. I've done pictures for this theme before, so I wanted this to somehow be different, and I accomplished that with the colors: I avoided the obvious pinks and reds and, using the heart artwork at my starting point, went with turquoise and purple instead.  

Love is All Around You

Happy Valentine's Day to YOU!

I chose Prima Dolly London for this picture because her hair is the perfect color for today's Valentine theme. She's sitting on the lid of a Godiva chocolate box, which my dear husband gave me when we celebrated Valentine's Day on Monday...because today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, and a day of fasting for Catholics, so eating chocolate and going out to a big dinner wouldn't work for us today! The card with the panda bear came in the mail from one of my Facebook dolly friends; what a nice surprise that was.

All You Need Is...

LOVE. It's all you need. 

It was surprisingly difficult to decide what to do for the theme "love". There are so many ways I could have gone with it, but most of them felt too much like Valentine's Day to me. In the end, it was the simple solution that worked the best.

Simply Lilac, Prima Dolly London, Prima Dolly Amaryllis, and Cloud 9 Bowl.

Wreathed in Love

I took this picture with my iPhone camera; I'm trying to learn to shoot and edit pictures to my satisfaction that way (I usually use a "real" camera and edit in Pic Monkey).

This is Kat, my Kaleidoscope Kustoms doll, peeking through my Valentine wreath.

Welcome February!

I guess this one just speaks for itself.

That girl is Jubilee, my Simply Thumpty Thump Blythe doll.
