Brenda’s Awful Terrible Day

“I didn’t mean to litter, Officer! The wind blew the candy wrapper out of my hand!” Brenda is not having an extraordinary day.

This Blythe doll is Brenda’s Extraordinary Day, posing for the theme “Smooth Criminal” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

The Gambler

"The only sure thing about luck is that it will change." ~ Bret Harte

This Blythe doll is Leading Lady Lucy, wearing Love Mission’s stock outfit for the theme “The Gambler” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. My husband kindly let me use his dice and poker chips.

Ticket

She’s got a ticket to ride the train, and so does Polly Parrot. Grandmother will be happy to see them both. To the station!

This Blythe doll is Candy Carnival wearing her stock dress. The parrot and cage are part of an accessory pack for Our Generation dolls at Target. (It’s a very nice cage, but a very tight fit for the bird!) This picture is for the theme “She’s got a ticket to ride” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Heart

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

 —Antoine de Saint-Exupery

This Blythe doll is Simply Guava, posing for the theme “Anyone who had a heart” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

IKEA

There’s a fine line between love and obsession. Peony has crossed that line.

These Blythe dolls are Pretty Peony, Lady Panacea, and Yellow Marshmallow, posing for the theme “In the bag” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. All the furniture in this picture is from the Huset doll set from IKEA…as well as the rug, heart pillow, and black and white drawn props on the wall (excluding the two pictures with black frames). I even picked up the artificial plant on the far right at IKEA, and of course, her big blue bag!

Llama Love

Mary had a little llama,

It’s fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went,

The llama was sure to go.

This Blythe doll is Song of London Mary, posing for the theme “T-shirt” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I recently found this beautiful, fluffy llama ornament at World Market. (It’s so soft! I just love it!) I added the words to her t-shirt using PicMonkey.

Stuck

Inconveniently, the needle on that old record player got stuck in the middle of the song, just when Ichigo was at a crucial point in the recipe and couldn’t step away to fix it. 

This Blythe doll is Ichigo Heaven, wearing her stock outfit for the theme “Stuck in the middle with you” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. Look at the cute mixer! I found this beauty, along with a matching blender, at the antique mall recently. It seems to have been part of a doll house, because it has an electrical cord with a tiny plug on the end. It’s so cool!
