Shame on You, Mindy!


 Mindy is a 
lovely-looking doll,
she is pink and pretty 
and rather small.

She has a smile 
as sweet as a daisy,
but it must be admitted 
that she is a bit lazy.

Each day the toys 
play in the yard,
but Mindy says sorry, 
the ground is too hard.

And when they all clean 
and tidy and cook,
you can usually find her 
curled up with a book.

The others are ready 
to raise quite a stink -
really, Mindy, you are 
very lucky you're pink!

Naughty Mindy haha, she's pink and cute and can get away with anything. Enjoy your Sunday. x

Kim said...

I'm with sweet, pretty in pink Mindy. I would much prefer to have my nose in a book than "clean, tidy and cook". Such adorable little pink pretties, Amalia.

Hello,
Cute poem, Mindy is a pretty pink doll. Happy May to you!
Take care, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.

Jeanie said...

I'm with Mindy! Give me a good book and lots of pink!

Oh dear, I'm afraid Mindy sounds a bit like me at an early age. I say she'll eventually outgrow this lazy streak and become a hard worker who needs to spend more time relaxing with a good book! Speaking hypothetically, of course. ;) Happy May Day! Hugs.

Mindy is following her own path in life. Good for her to be different and unique to herself! She is certainly adorable. Happy Sunday and Happy May. xoxo Kris

Mindy actually reminds me of myself when I was a little girl! I always had my nose in a book. I can still almost hear my mother saying "close the book now and go outside and play -- and enjoy it!" (That was a very long time ago -- I still love to read, but I do my share of work and I also love playing outside now, thank goodness ;>)

Vee said...

Too cute! I read your poetry to my little Wednesday visitors.

Dewena said...

I guess there are some people created just to be pretty and Mindy is one! I often tell my little barking dachshund that she is so lucky she's so beautiful as she is definitely not known for a quiet voice.

Patricia said...

Little Mindy is an adorable pink doll, and quite the character as well. I am really into pink these days, having just become the grandmother of a baby girl (after five grandsons). So cute, thank you Amalia. xx

Handmade in Israel said...

Oh dear, Mindy needs to learnt to pull her weight. She is a lovely shade of pink though!

Sandy said...

Mindy is adorable with all the pink even if she is a bit lazy.

Mindy sounds like my kind of girl! LOL. As I'm texting my husband to bring home take out so I can curl up with my book.

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...

Such a fun poem and adorable-looking Mindy! I'm sure she made a child very happy!

Red Rose Alley said...

Mindy is darling. And your poem is just right for these little fellows you made with love and care, Amalia. PINK is happiness, so your softies made me smile. : )

Happy May Amalia!

Mindy looks very confident and she is lucky that they all do the cleaning. I love the little truck.

Liz That Skinny Chick Can Bake said...

So sweet! I'm sure I've told you before, but my mom loved these sort of handmade dolls. I remember her buying some in Vancouver for us....so your posts bring me lots of precious memories :)

Kitchen Riffs said...

Your poems are always so cute! Not to mention your handiwork. Thanks!

DeniseinVA said...

I loved this adorable poem to go with these adorable bunnies. Mindy is probably me, I would much rather read a book than do chores. There's always tomorrow, lol!

Snowbird said...

What a cute poem and I like the dolls you made! :)

Crafty in the Med said...

Gorgeous Mindy! I do feel for you though they just don’t understand what it is like to cuddle up with a good book. After all Chores are so boring! Keep well. Amanda x

Becki said...

Mindy is a cutie. You'd never know under all that pink she's a little stinker. ;^)

baili said...

Mindy sounds cute ,cool and naughty :)

i so enjoyed the Mindy's attitude and though i am far older than Mindy i like her preference reading over playing once in a while it is good :)

i loved her look she is definitely a girl with attitude :)

blessings to you and loved ones dear Amalia
