February 2023 - What's Love Got to Do With It

The February 2023 challenge theme is What's Love Got to Do With It! All Groove dolls allowed, with or without Dal!

Think broadly about love - for example, Puddle loves spending time in nature with her animal friends. Some photos may end up in the March banner.

Good advice!

Erika loves Valentine's Day treats.

Nice treats!

Who needs a date?
BFFs share a Gal-entine's Day treat.
Or is it DALentine's?

Ha. DAL-entines.

Eiri loves signs of spring!

Wut.
It's -11 and I need to get my driveway plowed again tomorrow.


Cute little sewing machine.

"What's love got to do with it..."
Love has everything to do with cats!
Mystical, magical masterpieces of poetic motion...
We love cats!

I was literally scrubbing cat vomit out of the living room rug immediately before looking at this post, so you'll understand if my impression of cats is currently somewhat less enthusiastic than is yours.

It's a lovely picture, though. Good timing; you caught them between vomiting and pooping.

Nice, soft glow! We love cats, too. And we're getting rid of most of the carpeting in the house. That's made dealing with the hairballs a lot easier.

We are having a weird and variable spring. I'm sure those tulips will get blasted with snow and maybe ice before they actually bloom.

Although our temps are a lot lower than those on the sign.

It is definitely true that less carpet is helpful with cats! I have one who throws up upstairs virtually every night.

Love is a new friend!

They're cute on their precarious perch. Great sign too.

Well, I was blessed with an extra special relationship.
Cat barf is gross, but I'd much rather that than clean up after a kid
And if I had one that was vomiting every day it would definitely be time for a trip to the vet.

My cat who throws up, it's nerves. And very easy to clean up on hardwood floors. It sounds terrible in the middle of the night but there's not usually much to clean up.

Love is a new Peeps Plush!

(I don't know why I love these things so much, but when I saw this new Flower Power model I had to buy it.)

Love is that amazingly tailored Dal-sized Star Trek uniform!

Agreed, and as discussed before, from an authentic 1970s Mego Uhura doll!

I went with rather traditional subject, love between siblings.



So Kazuki and Malice here are sister and brother (Kazuki is older and his real name is Korbinian). Both of their parents have died so they rely on each other a lot. Kazuki tries to be protective but he is doing quite poor job since Malice can take care herself just fine and it is probably Kazuki who needs more looking after. Their backgrounds are still in work in progress but I think they grew up in a shady orpanage with assumed identities where they escaped.

None of the photos in this shoot came out great but this one is somewhat passable.

Yes Dolls with back stories!! They really do look like brother and sister! Your picture with the cats is adorable Allicat! I have a friend who would love that star trek uniform on a doll, very cute.

I like how her little hand is reaching toward him.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the February challenge!
