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.

Overalls for Christmas

Katie now has a short-sleeved jumper (sweater), a pair of coruroy overalls and beautiful leather boots to match the colour of her glasses. 


Her jumper does up at the back with buttons and her overall has buttons over press studs, they are lined inside with the same fabric that I used to trim the pockets.


Now what to do with her hair? I will not cut her hair, but I would like to give her a new style of some sort which would suit her cheeky nature.

    She looks so nice, and all set to go out and play. I think the hairstyle with little "buns" on each side of the top of the head is cute, but I wonder if she has too much hair for that.

    So cute! How about two high tails or braided knots above her ears? I don't know if their hair is rooted in a way you can do that without showing scalp.

      Thanks Mia. I'm taking yours and Barb's suggestions onboard and will play around with the styles, once I'm happy with her look I'll post a piccy.

    She's lovely! And you know, I simply adore blue ;). I also thought about two pigtails, somehow they scream "cheeky nature" to me ;)

      Thanks Chiriann, me too. I still haven't got round to doing her hair the way it looks best, I'll keep trying until I know it's right for her. 😘

      Katie was up until recently my favourite doll, and I love her in this colour it really suits her. She can be serious, but she's also very cheeky as you will see for yourself one day. 😘
