“Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”
—Winnie the Pooh

Everything looks prettier when seen through rose colored glasses.
Fani Flamingo is wearing Sara Shades’ glasses for the weekly photo challenge (“There are many ways to look at things) in the Facebook group Blythe Pure and Simple. Her coloring is so pretty! I have several ideas for this theme and I started with the simplest; the others may or may not happen!
There’s a website I often use when I’m looking for inspiration for a dolly picture, called A-Z Quote.com. At the top of the page there is always a quote of the day. I thought it would be a fun personal challenge to commit to using the daily quote for a doll picture, sight unseen. It’s a bit risky, since it could be any sort of a quote, about any subject, and it might not easily lend itself to being portrayed by a doll…but that’s also what makes it a real challenge. So, I did it yesterday, and it worked out fine! Zyanya has written the quote on the chalkboard for us. I had no idea who Claude Bernard was, but that’s another good thing about this challenge—in doing some research about the person who is quoted, might learn something (and I did! He was a French scientist who lived in the 1800’s.)
“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Minty Magic channels her inner Christopher Robin.
