“With so many books that I want to read, and so little time in my day for reading, it seems that my best option would be to take a speed reading course…but when would I have time for that?”
Lady Camellia poses for the theme “Speed reading” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
It helps to have a non-judgmental audience when you’re learning to play an instrument.
This is Patty Patch for the theme “Musical instrument” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
“Ugh, why did I sign up for this course in public speaking? I HATE public speaking!”

For this picture, I finally got to use the big piece of plexiglass I bought months ago. The audience of dolls are set up on my big chalkboard, and the doll doing the speaking is suspended above them on the plexiglass. I put this together in a hurry, so the details aren’t perfect, but I like the effect and look forward to doing more two-level photos in the future. Yes, I know my doll room is a mess!
The first lesson in the book “Learn to Draw” is: look at a tree and draw what you see. She nailed it!
Pow Wow Poncho is the model for the theme “Learn a New Skill: Drawing” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. Her doggie friend came from a McDonald’s Happy Meal a few years ago. He’s the best thing I’ve ever gotten there!
Fall is Mod Molly’s time to shine! This is one Blythe doll whose stock outfit suits her perfectly.
This is for the theme “Feels like fall” in the Facebook group Blythe Pure and Simple.
“This whole ‘sewing’ thing is harder than it looks!”
Playful Raindrops and Cousin Olivia are quite serious about the theme “Sewing” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I personally have gotten away from all the sewing I used to do; in fact, I had to remove a lot of accumulated junk from my sewing table to set up this picture, but in doing so, I started to think that it would be fun to start sewing for my Blythe dolls again. I think I will! These girls are each holding half of a Christmas dress I started several years ago. Will I finish it this year? All signs point to YES!
Marta entered her cherry pie in the bake-off and won first place! The prize is a modeling contract with The Delicious Pie company. Here she is in her first advertisement. Does it make you want to eat more pie?
This is for the theme “Baking” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I wanted to use a very limited color palette of reds and golden brown for this picture; that’s why Winterish Allure was the perfect choice with her red lips and golden hair. She’s wearing a Barbie apron I found at my local antique mall. (Funny note: the apron had a loop at the top to go over Barbie’s head…it was a bit small for Blythe! I just cut it and pulled the ends to the back. Maybe sometime I will replace it with ties.) The background is a piece of fabric. I used my favorite doll photo “formula” when setting this up: a doll + a prop + a background = a very nice picture! I added the frame and words using PicMonkey. I purchased the cute little pie just to use in this picture and I gobbled it up afterwards. It was indeed delicious. Full disclosure: it was actually apple, not cherry.
