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.

Tuesday

Project: Cushions

Just a quick post today.
 
 
Although I was full of good intentions, I didn't have time to photograph these step by step with everything else running through my head. However, I thought I should show a photo of the finished articles (there are four) just so you know, I did actually finish what I started 10 days ago. :)

 
Down the bottom, to the right you can see a sample of the new flooring that has yet to be laid.
 
P.S. Check out these little guys that arrived yesterday!

      Hi Alejandra,
      Thank you. I do know what you mean about finishing projects, sometimes they sit here for quite a while waiting for inspiration to strike for the second time! I'm really pleased that I managed to complete them so quickly...a record for me I think. LOL!
      Hugs,

    You have a lot of great projects going on, both human and doll sized ones! The 3 cute little ones seem to have a lot of fun, sharing their temporary living space. The boys need to dress themselves though, or Misty might get annoyed! They are very cute :-). xx

      Yes, sometimes I think I try to do too much at once, but I never seem to do otherwise. One of my friends suggested I do a photo story book about these 3 elves, and maybe I will ONE DAY but not right now, I'm trying to concentrate on sewing and knitting for the BJD's as well as get the stump finished.
      Cheers,
