The reason I bought her for Ivy was because at the time, Ivy only had two lower teeth, and blue eyes exactly the colour of Baby's, (Although Ivy's changed to 'green with brown in the middle', as she says.),and they looked alike. I bought her for Ivy when Ivy was a baby herself. After her pillow popped we stuffed her with her 'cloud', although it has had to be supplemented over the years! She was packaged laying on some super soft polyfill stuff because she was supposed to be 'soft as a cloud' or something like that, because she was filled with the inflatable thing. Her original stuffing was an inflatable pouch that Fuzzy popped by squeezing her too hard when he was little. She has a vinyl head and limbs,with a cloth body. Shh.)īaby has been Ivy's favourite doll longer even than Blue and Rose. (Don't tell her friends, but I recently went in Ivy's room late at night and found her curled up with Baby under her chin. Predictably though, Ivy's favourite bigger doll, "Baby" was on her bed. They gave them their own middle names, Olivia, and Rose.) Emma and Ivy split the set, with Emma, Ivy's older sister, taking the older sister and Ivy taking the younger sister. (Rose was originally part of the Barbie and Kelly Bedtime Stories set. See?! This is Rose and Blue in "Doll Italy" again.

Also AWOL was Ivy's other favourite, Blue's sister Rose.īlue and her sister Rose, in a picture from another doll vacation email from "Doll England". However, when I went to her room to find Blue, she was nowhere to be seen. This Blue is the only one that still bears the name though. Ivy was tiny, and only knew one colour: blue, and was naming almost every doll she got about that time 'Blue'. She still had most of her hair then.īlue came to us as a 'Tommy as Colonel Candy' from the Barbie Nutcracker movie, but she was so pretty we decided she must be a girl. This is a picture from an email Blue 'sent' to Ivy while she was there years ago. In her honour today I was going to feature her favourite small doll, Blue.īlue on vacation in "Doll Italy", visiting the statue of David, with a strategically placed head. She'll be a beggar woman in "Les Miserables" for three nights,starting on Friday night. The poor kid had to fit her birthday celebration in between 2, when she got out of school,and 4 o'clock, when she was due back for 'play practice'. Ivy's pretend 'sweet' face, during her present opening. My back was killing me all day too, but at least the headache that has accompanied this cold seems to be over.Īs I said, today is Ivy's birthday, her 15th in fact.

From letting an egg roll off the counter and break in the floor, to the cake batter not spreading out in the pan, producing a somewhat dry, (albeit delicious) cow pattie, to the glaze running off the cake and all over the place,to starting to cut and serve the cake before putting the candles on and letting Ivy blow them out, I was on a roll today.(And so was that egg.) It didn't help that I still have some of this cold and woke up feeling nauseous this morning.
#Happy birthday sweetie ivy full
As I told Ken, Murphy's Law, ("Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."), was in full effect today.

Thank goodness Emma is running everybody back and forth tonight because I don't think it's safe for me to drive! Today is Ivy's birthday, so I had a cake to bake.
