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.

New Arrival

After a longer than expected wait for her arrival, my Fairyland Bisou finally came yesterday. No fault of her previous owner, I might add. The doll was in Oz on the 12th, but for some unknown reason it took 6 days to get from one side of Melbourne to the other. Her previous owner was kind enough to send her with eyes, hair and dress, but I had something special planned for this little one.
 
 
The wig is one of the new ones I ordered from Leekeworld (LR092) in Lavender Rose, the shoes I bought from eBay, the dress & undies I made, and the cardi was from Etsy quite some time ago.
 
 
Not sure whether to keep the eyes she has (they're a sort of green/grey) or try for another colour, perhaps something a little lighter, so I'd love to hear your opinions.

      Bisou has been on my wishlist for sometime, but somehow someone else always got in the way...this time I think it was one of those meant to be situations, because she just fell into place and the first outfit I put on her SHE OWNED!!

    She's so cute!! and that wig suits her so well, what a lovely color!
    I would try lighter eyes, but I'm a fan of light blue and light green eyes the most, so I always tend to use those.
    In any case she looks just as pretty with these darker ones

      The wig colour is very pretty, it's actually a blend of two colours which seems to give it greater depth. I tried some lighter eyes today, but they didn't gel so it looks like this colour will stay (at least for now).

    She's lovely!!! I like her eye color, but she will look good with a lighter color too, especially with the wig. Personally I would try a pair of eyes in a light violet or light blue :-). xx

      Hi Night Owl!
      Violet is the one colour I don't have right now, but I will see if someone at the meet next Saturday has a pair I could try, that way I will only need to purchase them if they suit. :) Sneaky eh?
      Thanks for stopping by, hugs,
