Ellowyne's winter adventure!

 Maman took me outside early today.
It snowed all last night!
This is my very first snowfall.
The others were fast asleep.
After Maman took the first photo, I fell over.
I wanted to make a snow angel!
But it was raining too hard and as you can see I don't have boots yet.

Maman posed me in this beautiful sleigh.
We don't have a horse, so it's just for fun and picture taking.
Well, we sort of have a horse but he would be too small for this type of sleigh.
Maman put her name on each photo but she doesn't know how to do a watermark.
Just ignore the name because she wishes to keep these photos for her own personal use.
Sometimes she uses them for calendars and she doesn't want them repeated.
I had lots of fun in the snow but had to dry off when I came back inside for breakfast.
Love and kisses from Ellowyne

Ellowyne's day of fame!

In the BSC group, Tante Martha and Tante Melissa came up with a fantastic idea.
All the Mamans are invited to look at Impressionist Paintings and choose one to copy to make a dress for one of their Bleuettes.
Our Maman loves this painting by Renoir. It's called "Mother and Children".

Maman chose Ellowyne to be the model because of her long blonde hair.
Ellowyne is ecstatic to have her very own dress and coat and hat and muff.
She loves what Maman created using LSDS patterns from the Bleu Door Portal.

Here is Ellowyne turned into an Impressionist painting.
We are planning to print it out on cardstock and hang it up in her bedroom once she has one of her own.
Maman is thrilled with this first challenge of the New Year.
Happy New Year to all our friends.
Love from Yvette Marie

Our 50th post and some cute photos!



These pictures were taken by Tante Peggy.
She takes divine photos, doesn't she?
She has tricks up her sleeve and Maman is trying her best to learn them.
You can check out more photos at THIS LINK. The page takes a while to load but it's worth it!

A lovely blog

We love to look at other Bleuette pictures online.
Maman also enjoys this pastime.
The above photo is from one of our favourite blogs:
It's all about life in the country.
The owner loves Tasha Tudor (a children's book illustrator) and also Bleuettes!
She has lots of nice pictures.
We really like this one!

Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas morning!
Oh we did have fun!
I got a Chatty Cathy doll and she says 11 things!
Zoe got a puppy!
Ellowyne got the nativity creche on top of the fireplace.
Helena got a pretty Christmas tea set.
Of course we also got candy and things too, but these are our best presents.
We hope you had a merry Christmas too!

Here is a beautiful picture of Tante Julie's girls in their lovely home.
Look at those gorgeous dresses!
Tante Julie didn't make any of them. Other Mamans made them.
I really, really like the dress on the right...the red plaid.
If you click on this picture you will see 2 Bleuettes with adorable Chatty Cathy dolls.
I do so wish I had one too! Maybe I'll get one on Christmas Day!

Christmas tree decorating

This picture was taken by Tante Ruth.
These are her darling girls, wearing beautiful Christmas dresses made by Tante Georgia.
There are many talented Mamans out there in Bleuette Land!
Zoe and I are putting this picture here so that our own Maman won't forget to save her dolly dollars for new dresses just like these, made by Tante Georgia.
Maman has been eyeing them all year, and so have we.
Maman can crochet, but not like this.
Aren't Tante Ruth's girls pretty?
Love from Yvette Marie and Zoe
