Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Tutorial: Fairy Skirt for Puki Fee

I can hardly believe it's been a week since I posted here, I have been so busy and the time has just flown by. This little tutorial is just a tiny part of what I have been up to . . .

For this project you will need:

40 cm long x 56mm wide broderie anglais lace. The width of this lace will be the length of the skirt, so if you want a longer skirt, purchase a wider lace.
Cut 3 strips of matching lawn, voile or batiste each 35mm wide.
1 x 12cm long for the waistband and 2 x 7cm long for trimming the back closure.
2 press studs (snaps), needle and matching thread.











That's all folks!
