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.

Thank You

Under normal circumstances, I would thank you all individually for you kind comments, but in this instance I thought it appropriate to do this collectively. It was such a pleasure to read so many favourable comments about Ondine and her costume and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for being so kind. XXX

I managed to do a little more on her costume yesterday, so here's another progress photo of her ~


Today, I'm painting the fountain wall in our back garden, so I doubt if there will be much sewing done. I will post finished photos later in the week.

Hugs to you all for taking the time to read my blog!


12/6 QUICK UPDATE ~
I finished the sleeves
yesterday, but didn't
have time to take a
photo until today.
 
I wanted them to
look a little like fins,
but still show her
human hands.
 
Do you think I have
captured the look?
 
Now have to decide
whether she needs
some sort of head
adornment or not.

    Ondine's gorgeous outfit is coming along nicely. I think you certainly have captured that fan-like appearance with her sleeves.

    How did painting the fountain wall go?
