Blythe a Day September 2023 - Around the World in 30 Days for the theme: “Road Trip”

“Every day is a winding road”

Ginger (Blythe) and her Sylvanian, Woodzeez, and Honeybee Acres friends on a road trip.

As dusk approached, Rutledge hurried home, wondering if the mushrooms he saw were there before or had recently appeared, much like how they were described in a poem he had come across:

“Overnight, very Whitely, discreetly, Very quietly

Our toes, our noses Take hold on the loam, Acquire the air.

Nobody sees us, Stops us, betrays us; The small grains make room.

Soft fists insist on Heaving the needles, The leafy bedding,

Even the paving. Our hammers, our rams, Earless and eyeless,

Perfectly voiceless, Widen the crannies, Shoulder through holes. We

Diet on water, On crumbs of shadow, Bland-mannered, asking

Little or nothing. So many of us! So many of us!

We are shelves, we are Tables, we are meek, We are edible,

Nudgers and shovers In spite of ourselves. Our kind multiplies:

We shall by morning Inherit the earth. Our foot's in the door.”

Poem is: Mushrooms by Sylvia Plath www.poetrybyheart.org.uk/poems/mushrooms

so recently i tried to modify/mildly customize my Veronica storm doll, bc unfortunately when she arrived in the mail, her bubblegum had broken off in transit and was rattling around the box lmao

the peg was still in her mouth tho, so i used a mini electric sander to carve it down to her lip shape and then painted over it with metallic acrylics and gloss sealer

the bottom lip is a Little rough, but i figure i can go back and smooth it later bc i think it looks fine now for the time being (and much better than it was, at least lol)

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers for especially in the month of June

A Christmas Story, Ralphie’s “Pink Bunny Suit” Inspired Blythe

Blythe a Day December 2023 for: Christmas Bunny

Ralphie opens his present from Aunt Clara, revealing it to be a pink bunny outfit.

Adult Ralphie: (Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only perpetually four years old, but also a girl.)

Mrs. Parker: Oh, isn't that sweet? Ralphie, go upstairs and try it on if you--

Ralphie: I don't want to!

Mrs. Parker: Go upstairs right now and put on that present! She went to all that trouble to make it, now go on!

[Ralphie runs upstairs.]

[Down comes Ralphie, clad in the bunny suit.]

Mrs. Parker: Ohhhh, isn't that cute? That is the most precious thing I've ever seen in my life. (Randy laughs)

Ralphie: Shut up.

The Old Man: He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny.

Mrs. Parker: He does not!

The Old Man: He does too; he looks like a pink nightmare. Do you wanna take it off? (Ralphie nods his head) Tell the kid to take it off.

Mrs. Parker: Alright, you'll only wear it when Aunt Clara visits; now go on and take it off.

The Old Man: Take it off!

Goddess of the Moon (Cháng’é)

“Every year around September in the Gregorian calendar, people across Asia and around the world gather with their families to celebrate the Moon Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival).

The festival involves the serving of mooncakes and, in some places, like Taiwan, often involves barbecue parties with family, friends and neighbors. Central to the folklore of the Moon Festival is the telling of the story of the moon goddess, Cháng’é.

According to this ancient story, a long, long time ago, the heavens was home to ten blazing suns. The ten suns scorched the surface of the earth mercilessly and the earth’s inhabitants – the animals, plants and people – struggled desperately to survive in this fiery world.

One day, a brave and powerful archer decided to take matters into his own hands. His name was Hòu Yì and he took his bow, climbed up the highest peak he could find and challenged the suns.

One by one, Hòu Yì succeeded in downing the fiery orbs. Just as he was about to shoot down the tenth and final sun, however, a beautiful village maiden appeared and begged him to stop.

“If you shoot down the final sun,” she pleaded, “the world will be plunged into icy darkness forever. Spare this last sun and the world will thrive – neither too bright or too dark, too hot or too cold.”

Hòu Yì heeded the maiden’s advice and permitted the last sun to remain in the sky.

The gods rewarded Hòu Yì’s bravery by gifting him with a bottle of elixir which, when imbibed, would turn mortals into immortals and enable them to join the gods.

In addition to the heavenly gift, the village maiden, thankful for Hòu Yì’s bravery, pledged herself to be his wife. The maiden’s name was Cháng’é.

When Hòu Yì received the elixir, he did not immediately consume it. He put away the bottle in what he felt was a safe place in his home and went on a hunt, leaving his dear wife to guard the elixir. The two had decided that, at a later time, they would both take the elixir and be able to live with the gods together, never to be separated.

It was at this time that bandits who knew of the elixir’s existence, intruded upon Hòu Yì’s residence, demanding that Cháng’é give up the elixir.

The maiden, unwilling to hand over her husband’s hard-won prize to bandits, took the decision to consume the substance herself.

This ill-timed and supposed blessing of immortality had become a curse – forever separating Cháng’é from her husband who must remain a mortal man.

Cháng’é felt her body become lighter and lighter. She began to float up towards the sky, eventually landing on the Palace of the Moon, where she took up residence.

Hòu Yì, separated from his beloved wife, could do nothing. But thenceforth, he began, on the anniversary of his wife’s ascent to the moon during mid-autumn, to place fruits and cakes on altars to honor her.

This practice began by Hòu Yì during this time of year is the reason, this story says, behind the mid-autumn festival so popular throughout East Asia.”
