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.

Seven years ago I issued a challenge to celebrate 20 years of the modern BJD, that I had also done three years previously. As things have be...

More LittleFee Dresses

I finished sewing these little dresses yesterday. The first one is my favourite and will be a keeper, the other I'm not so sure about yet. I really enjoyed playing about and modifying my pattern to come up with these new styles and will probably make a few more to add to my Etsy store in the near future.



 I tried the dresses on Marie Ann and Gina (my Honey Delf) and found that it was a perfect fit for both, so these two girls will be able to share a wardrobe of clothes.



I seem to be stuck on making pretty dresses at the moment, but once I get this out of my system, I really want to tackle something a little more adventurous. Maybe period, goth or steampunk...any thoughts?

Antoinette

My Little Fee Ante has a new name.


Antoinette is looking very smart on the Vespa.


She's a beautiful model and wonderful to photograph.

She's Finally Arrived

I honestly don't know how my patience has lasted, it's seems like I have been waiting forever and a day for my sweet Little Fee Ante to arrive from Fairyland. I had her down for arrival at the end of May, but she only arrived today. The wait has been worth it though, she is so beautiful, I just love her to bits and will be making something very special for her to wear over the next few weeks.


I also ordered her a mohair wig as well as a face-up.


She has gorgeous eyes and easily makes friends, as you can see here with teddy.

Today's Doll Meet

Just a couple of shots taken with my little camera. Not the best or sharpest by any means, but they have great memories attached. I had a fab day, thanks to all who attended!

LittleFee Dresses



Finished these yesterday and posted them on Etsy today. I thought $14 was a fair price for this size.

Sew Sew

Not only am I addicted to Puki Fees, I can't stop sewing for them. Finished these three little dresses yesterday. They are quite simple to make and easy to add a variety of finishes to.


Ante loves her new dress as the autumn tones in the fabric suit her colouring, but she did complain about not having matching shoes ... these littlies sure have a mind of their own. :)
