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.

The Kids Kitchen is Finished!

Primrose has been baking in the Kids Kitchen and is annoyed that "someone" has stolen one of her tarts.


Oh dear, Holly you are a naughty girl! Couldn't you at least wait until they had cooled down first?


The final pieces of furniture have been completed and the wall with the French doors is done.


From left to right: Broom cupboard, bench/cupboard, oven/rangehood, corner bench/cupboard, bench/cupboard, sink/cupboard, double bench (under window), refrigerator/cupboard. Centre: Island bench with two stools.

All the doors open, including the oven, fridge-freezer and French doors.

That's it for today on here, but there's more to read over at  Studio 1283. Happy reading, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. :)

Almost Finished

Finally had some time today to complete the tiling in my dolly kitchen and Holly and Primrose couldn't wait for the new walls which I ordered recently, to have some photos taken. I was hoping to have the other double bench done too, but it was missing a back piece. Fortunately, the piece is being sent with the walls, so hopefully it will all be done this time next week.


Once I'd taken this photo I noticed the gap between the corner unit and the sink. I'm not sure what I can do about it though. I may try painting the new walls (ones without windows) white and see if that makes a difference, before re-cutting the tiles. The black & white papered wall shown here, will be replaced with a window wall and drapes.


Holly could also do with a little blush on her cheeks, she's looking a little pekid. Primrose does have a faint hint of rosiness, but if I'm going to blush Holly, I may as well do Primrose too.


Primrose is wearing rompers and cardigan which I made for another doll (can't remember which) but they fit her perfectly. Both girls shoes are slightly too big, but they'll do for now.

Anyone else working on any projects?


P.S. Michelle Bogart! Welcome to my blog, do you have a dolly blog of your own?
