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.

Another Shampoo & Set

I kept looking at Sophia's hair and how dull it looked along side Greta's. The length wasn't cut evenly either, so it was into the bathroom for a wash then onto the table for a cut.

Looking at her now, in her newly completed outfit (with those very special leather shoes) and her hair at a good length, I'm happy with her. I will add, her hair is still not as lusterous as Greta's, but it's better than what it was.

      Yes, I agree and much prettier with shorter hair. I seem to be choosing this colour a lot right now as this is the third outfit I've made in "purple".

    Her hair sure looks healthy and glossy now. And her dress and blouse look very pretty.

    Beautiful doll — her outfit, shoes, and curls suit her so well. She looks adorable 🥰
    I really love the clothes you sew for your dolls. May I ask what fabrics you enjoy working with the most? It is always so interesting to learn from your experience.

      Thank you Inesa, I really appreciate your comment being a seamstress yourself. I dont really have a lot of favourites, but I love tana lawn and fine corduroy at present.

    Love the colour of her pinafore dress, really looks nice on her. I suppose it all depends on what nylon? they used for her hair as to how nice it will be.

      Yes, it's a very pretty colour and I'm happy with how it turned out. I'm having to recurl her hair though as it's dropped out and is not sitting as I'd like it. I agree, styling doll hair does depend on the type of synthetic used. 😘

    Love the shoes and she looks very neat and charming in her 'doo' and lovely outfit. Your girls are quite spoiled, but that IS the fun of it, isn't it! Sandi

      These shoes are made in Germany and just beautiful, I have them in several colours. I guess they are, but I do enjoy doing it . . . as you say it is fun. 😘
