Mother Dear

Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely mothers who are being celebrated today! 

Weather Report

Today's weather: mostly sunny with a 100% chance of Blythe.

I actually took my doll out in public for this picture! Since we were going to Colonial Williamsburg (it's just minutes away from our home here in Virginia) to play Pokemon Go, I decided to put Q-Pot in my bag so I could look for a quiet spot in which to photograph her. A big tree with a low branch provided just the right setting.

Cinco de Mayo 2018

She's Mexican for a day.

This Blythe doll is Bow Wow Trad. For the third time, I've made a Cinco de Mayo picture using the same background and the same dress, because I just don't have many Mexican-looking props! You can see the others here: 2016, 2015 (I guess I forgot to take a picture for it last year!)

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.)

A Day at the Park

"Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat."
                                                --Laura Ingalls Wilder

Cousin Olivia, Nellie Nibbles, and Connie Corneille enjoy a day at the park. For the theme "Wheels" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Lucky Girl

She searched in the emerald grass until she found it, that luckiest of plants: a four-leaf clover. Today is going to be a good day. 

This is Enchanted Petal; I call her Beryl. I found this cute plastic four-leaf clover in a toy store early this year, and I intended to use it in a St. Patrick's Day photo; but life got in the way and I didn't do a picture for St. Patty's Day after all. It is perfect for this picture, though! This for the theme "Emerald" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Work

*Sigh* A witch's work is never done. 

This is Maeve, my Chocolat Blythe doll, wearing her stock outfit. I've been planning to make this photo for a while; it seemed like a funny idea to have a witch use her broom for sweeping rather than flying. Then when I saw that today's Blythe a Day photo theme is "Labor Day/Jobs" (which I'm interpreting as "work") I knew it was time to put my plan into action.
