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.

Heather's Credenza

Just completed this little credenza for Heather's apartment. She asked that I make it match her other furniture, which I did. Once it was finished she sat back and admired it while sipping her afternoon tea.

If you are interested to see how I made it, pop on over to Studio1283.

Now she's asking for a dining table and chairs . . . no rest for the wicked!

    Such lovely doll furniture! It creates a cozy and charming scene. The little doll enjoying her tea on the chair looks adorable.

      Thank you Inesa. The little doll is called Heather and she enjoys a cuppa any time of day. :)

    I already saw this on the studio blog. She looks quite at home in her armchair with the credenza. Bed or dining table first? ;D

      I saw your comment Mia, thank you. Heather has settled in very well in her apartment. I bet you'll not be surprised to know I'm working on both. 😁 The bed is for the cottage though.

      Thank you Chiriann. I don't have lot to add to her room now, she already has enough, just the table and she done! However, there is more furniture to come for the others. 😉

    Very nice 30s style furniture. I'm not surprised that Heather wants more.

      I'm so pleased you think so Niina. I'm afraid she's going to have to wait for them, you know the old story, so much to do, so little time. 😁
