Happy Mother’s Day 2023

 "Such a mysterious business, motherhood. How brave a woman must be to embark on it." ― M.L. Stedman, "The Light Between Oceans"

This sweet Blythe doll is Lady Panacea.

Red Riding Hood

“Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.” —German Proverb

This pretty Blythe doll is Lady Camellia, wearing an assortment of stock outfit pieces from different dolls. The background is a poster. This picture is for the theme “Little Red Riding Hood”  in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Banana

When “climbing a tree and acting like a banana” didn’t work, she decided to try to catch a monkey the old-fashioned way.

This is my newest Blythe doll, Fighting Milk Saranghae. I love her! Her lips are amazing, and it’s great that she comes with two cute outfits. This picture is for the theme “Banana” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr, and for “Blythe and Food” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.

Hidden

“I have hidden your word in my heart” Psalm 119:11

Mondrian was on her way to church, and she looked so angelic that a passing photographer stopped and asked to take her picture. She’s wearing a vintage dress from Quick Curl Francie. This picture is for the theme “Hidden” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Trash Day

Taking out the trash: it’s a stinky chore, but someone has to do it.

This cute Blythe doll is Simply Thumpty Thump, wearing Fighting Milk’s stock outfit. I de-boxed my Fighting Milk and washed her hair. While waiting for it to dry, I couldn’t resist using her clothes for this picture. Whenever I put a new outfit on an old doll, she seems new again. I love these colors on Jubilee. This picture is for the theme “It stinks!” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Bread

“If thou tastes a crust of bread, thou tastes all the stars and all the heavens. 

—Robert Browning

(And it smells amazing, too!)

This Blythe doll is Quintessential Journey, posing for the theme “It smells wonderful “ in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr, and “Blythe and food” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook. The bread, board, knife, and bread box are a play set from Maileg.

Puzzle

“I’m sorry I took so long to get here.”

“That’s okay. You know what they say here at the coffee shop: better latte than never!”

These pretty brunettes are Blue Rabbit (left) and Raspberry Sorbet (right). I put them together in this picture to compare them. Raspberry Sorbet’s makeup is so subtle compared to Blue Rabbit! The background is a jigsaw puzzle. This picture is for the theme “Puzzle” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
