Hard at Work

Would you believe...the hardest part of making this dress 

was sewing all the buttons down the front!

This is Beryl, my Enchanted Petal Blythe doll. This photo is for the theme "Buttons".

Sparkle

Ann always wears a little bit of sparkle. It's her signature style. 

This is UFO A Go Go.

Shoe Confusion

Jane was almost ready for the party, when suddenly 
she was paralyzed by confusion. 
Which shoes go better with her outfit?

The black, or the gold???

This is my Kenner Blythe doll. Jane always has a dazed and confused look to her, so she is perfect for this sort of photo. 

Cute Stockings

Gidget had to dig through all her drawers to find 
just the right stockings to wear; but the effort 
was totally worth it because 
they coordinated with her outfit perfectly.

She is my Cherry Beach Sunset Blythe doll. The cute stockings arrived as an unexpected gift from a Facebook friend--thank you Julie Blake!!!

In the Pink

According to Fleur, pink is not just a color, it's a lifestyle!

This is Charlotte des Fleurs. Obviously, this picture is for the theme "pink"!

Blythe Adores Anna Sui

I was fortunate to win the chance to purchase Blythe Adores Anna Sui in the lottery at Junie Moon. She arrived here a couple of weeks ago, but as she was to be my Valentine's Day gift, I had to put off opening her for a while. Wow, she was worth the wait!

It's not very obvious in this picture , but...SHE HAS PURPLE HAIR!!! A Blythe with dark purple hair has been one of my wishes for quite a while, and now my wish has come true. And she has a set of purple eyes to match!

Recently I've started taking a picture like this of each doll as I take her out of her box--this flat layout with everything that came in the box serves as a good introduction to a doll...and it also helps me to remember, in the future, which little things belong to her! (Not that it really matters, but sometimes I want to show off a doll in her stock, and I might not remember which tights were hers, for example.)

Everything about her is well done. I especially like her pull ring, which isn't a ring at all, but a sort of plastic charm that says "Ann Sui". Her hat is wonderfully big and soft and furry. Her tights fit well and weren't too hard to put on. Her boots are pretty, and they are "left" and "right" which is a nice detail (although I'm afraid there will be some people who get two left or two right boots! I haven't heard of anyone with this problem yet, but I know it happened a lot with Minty Magic.) Her outfit looks like a skirt and blouse, but it is really a one-piece dress, which is well-made and pretty. All this plus panties, earrings, bag and sunglasses, and she is ready to go!

When she's dressed from head to toe in her stock outfit, Anna Sui is downright sophisticated.

I had a request to show her side-by-side with Lady Camellia, from the back, in daylight, to compare hair colors. Here is that unedited photo, below (Lady Camellia on the left and Anna Sui on the right). It's a terrible photo in terms of composition, but it is good representation of their actual hair colors. You can see that Anna Sui has beautiful hair: it's long, wavy, and thick.

This doll gets an "A+" from me; there's nothing I dislike about her--I highly recommend her.

I Choose YOU!

Nothing says "I love you" like a tiny pokeball in a bottle.

I gave this bottle to my husband for Valentine's Day...

we're big Pokemon Go players. He thought it was cool.

Would you believe that this photo is for the theme "Boots"?? 

And can you believe that this is the first photo I've posted of my amazing new Blythe Adores Anna Sui doll??  I really wanted to use her for this theme, since I just took her out of her box and she has great boots! But I needed to show off this little bottle that was in the package I showed last week...so this is all you will see of her, just the side of her head, her hands, dress, and boots...

...until tomorrow!
