Believe

It doesn’t matter who believes in you, as long as YOU believe in you.

Mermaid Tasha and her Lalaloopsy friend firmly believe in themselves. This picture is for the theme “Mermaid “ in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.

At the end of the day, it’s good to be home.

This Blythe doll is Lil Heart by Milk, wearing a pretty dress from Woolly Rockers on Etsy. But most of all, I want to point out the wonderful background: my artist daughter made it for me for Mother’s Day! I love it so much! Thanks, Jenna!

Go Fly a Kite

The weather is sunny and warm in Blytheville, so please join us at the beach for some kite flying this afternoon. (Bring your own kite.)

I made this kite from colored paper, baker’s twine, and ribbon for the theme “Go fly a kite.” Simply Thumpty Thump is perfect for this picture, since she has short hair that lets the back of her pretty swimsuit show.

Fly

“Everyone has oceans to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?” —Amelia Earhart

Pretty Peony’s plane is a reproduction of a children’s pedal car from 1930. Her cool goggles were made by Motor City Dolly.

Hold Your Breath

 "We got no troubles. Life is the bubbles, under the sea." — Sebastian

Mandy Cotton Candy is channeling her inner mermaid. She’s wearing Fani Flamingo’s stock swimsuit. The small mermaid doll is a Lalaloopsy.

Kite Flying Weather

 When the weather is right, we MUST fly a kite!

These Blythe dolls are Spring Hope and Middie Yellow Marshmallow, posing for the theme “Go fly a kite” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.

St. Gertrude of Nivelles

I just learned an amazing thing today: there is a patron saint of cats, and her feast day is my birthday!! I suppose the reason I’ve never heard of her before is that on March 17th, she is overshadowed by St. Patrick. I am a devoted cat lover, so I am pleased to make her acquaintance. This Blythe doll is Lady Panacea. I might start calling her Gertrude!
